    Secretary, people kind of fixate a lot on the daily amount. How many per day are we talking about at this new escalated pace? And how high do you think it can go? Is there a goal maybe for next year that can even exceed what we've done this year? Well, being successful also has a downside because it's like the low-hanging fruit. You get the low-hanging fruit accomplished and then you got to go and really dig in and go find the people that are deeply hiding. So at some point, the self-deportation number is going to start decreasing, and we're going to have to start rounding all these individuals up. When we start going after the worst of the worst, what we found out is the worst of the worst. These are individuals that have felony charges that the sanctuary cities and sanctuary states have let go, or they have pending charges that, once again, sanctuary cities and sanctuary states have let go. So when we go find the individuals, we usually arrest an additional 4.3 individuals that are with that one person with a felony. And so since we're doing a heavy focus on the worst of the worst, we're actually increasing our numbers on rounding up all the illegals that are here. And we expect that number to continue to increase, but we're probably going to hit a plateau sometime early next year. But we don't - we're really - every time we think we've already hit a plateau, we continue to find another area that we can increase on finding the individuals. So we don't have set speculations or estimates on next year's numbers yet because we're redefining our systems that we have right now. And I really do think that - my goal is to double what we did last year. and I think we can get there. Amen. I know the American people would be very happy about that, Mr. Secretary. I have one quick question
