In fact. the southern border in the last year over 1.159.000 illegals that were collared at the border. so to speak. We heard T.J. Bonner. a border patrol. say here a couple of days ago that approximately 4 million came across the southern border during that period of time and we collared 1.159.000. Of those 1.159.000. all but 1.640 of them promised to go back. We cannot verify that any of them went back. but we did actually adjudicate 1.640 of the 1.159.000 to go back to their home country. So we have got a very small percentage here. The catchandrelease program is real. I got into a little buyin when I made that statement that it was a seven times catchandrelease program before they were adjudicated for deportation. Some of the bureaucrats took issue with that and wanted to have a meeting. So they brought eight of their people into the room. and the first statement was I am wrong. we need to retract the statement.
