And this administration has made it an international policy to reach our shores now and claim political asylum. That is the key word. It is political asylum. And we cannot possibly take in all of these. If you look at China you have probably a billion people who would like to come in from China. You have hundreds of underdeveloped nations. people who are economic refugees. but also political refugees. So Florida experienced that in the 1980s. Let me tell you right now the State of Florida is owed over $150 million in documented costs from the Mariel and tens of millions from the impact.
