How many illegal immigrants would you estimate your administration has released into the country over the last three and a half years? Well, I'm glad you raised the issue of immigration because I agree with you. It is a topic of discussion that people want to rightly have. And you know what I'm going to talk about. Yeah, but you're just a number. Do you think it's one million, three million? Brett, let's just get to the point. Okay. The point is that we have a broken immigration system that needs to be repaired. So your Homeland Security Secretary said that 85% of apprehensions... I'm not finished.

Yes, ma'am. It was called the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021. It was essentially a pathway to citizenship for the... May I finish responding, please? But you have to let me finish, please. You had the White House and the House and the Senate, and they didn't bring up that bill. I'm in the middle of responding to the point you're raising, and I'd like to finish. Yes, ma'am.
