Let me ask you this, kind of dovetailing right off of that, House Speaker Mike Johnson, he went very hard at you during an interview this week over this policy. He called you a liar and then said this, I want to play it for you, about you and President Biden. If he really wanted to solve the border, Neil, he could close the border entirely. But this half measure executive order he just did actually exacerbates the problem. He's allowing thousands of people over the border every day before they just begin to enforce existing federal immigration laws. So what do you say to that? Well, I think it's it's mistaken. I wish the speaker would actually promote and pass the Senate's bipartisan legislation that would be the toughest enforcement measures in more than 30 years. Our immigration system hasn't been fixed since 1996. So action speaks louder than words and the words are mistaken.
