To put its best foot forward. A strange question because it doesnt work with the framework that you follow. You are from el paso so maybe you could. I think the reason is chief of police and the community that supports law and order and law enforcement, they do a great job and the crime is different. Its entirely different. Bridge cases is a major problem. We have time for one last question. I had the opportunity to talk about that at the end of july and work with refugees. I think they have been pretty poorly portrayed by the media. There are a lot of desperate people trying to flee bad circumstances but my question really is, because we have such a polarized nation, what are the representatives of the state of texas doing to let Homeland Security and every other representative and senator from every other state in the union understand that we will never be able to build a wall along the entire edge of texas that will keep people in our out because if you want to know how it felt to m

Not there. I we are developing and promised the principal sponsors of this law that we are going to develop a plan to get to 100 not have the we do resources. Congress has not given us the resources. We are developing that. I would like to see us get to a higher percentage of what is deans scanned what is being scanned right now. I look at what comes into the country and the method we have for screening it all, and it is pretty sophisticated. So i take away from that a pretty good story. Ok, yes, sir. Last question. On ebola. We are now screening at five airports. Do we have the capability to deal with this, and do we have contingencies if things get worse . We very definitely in this country have the ability to deal with the ebola virus. Every time there has been an outbreak of ebola in the world, it has been defeated. Here in the United States, we have the best health care, doctors, infrastructure, hospitals. It is a treatable disease if it is caught in time and you receive the right
Settlement. I founded a communication in dallas many years ago and it fostered volunteerism for the many resettlement and a silent asylum for Service Providing agencies. I am interested in what you said about the current political climate, and i have noticed that here, too. Although people are welcoming, there are often protesters from various camps to save the refugees that are coming are changing the face of the United States, you know, the usual arguments. The other fact, i was interested in what your observations might be since most of the resettlement agencies are faithbased and all of the major abraham and faiths are represented here abrahamic faiths are represented here, sometimes Christian Missions interweave services with subtle and notsosubtle nudging toward accepting christianity along with the Refugee Resettlement process.
