Also, I really don't like the people who are waiting for their return date. You know why? Because if you're being detained and you know that you came here illegal, you cross the border with a coyote, you know that you are wasting the American workers dollar by waiting for a trial date to fight it. You know that you're here illegally, you know what the outcome is. You know what you did is wrong and you should go back. So by staying here, you are effectively lying and you are effectively wasting resources. The left's argument, in John Oliver's argument here, it presupposes that these people have a right to be here and the only basis for it. It's the same root justification that you see tariffs from Canada and other countries or other countries not paying into NATO while the United States should, or the amount of money that we have spent to help Ukraine while Europe hasn't stepped up. It's you can afford it. The United States can afford it. Well, sure, yeah. Canada's putting a 200 something percent tariff on dairy. I know it's a cap and it's a top effective rate, but that means that it is. But you can afford it. It. Well, sure, yeah. Other nations are spending 0.6% of their GDP on their military as per the NATO agreement. We're spending close to 4%. But the United States can afford it. Well, sure, yeah. These illegals are coming. They're costing the American taxpayer $400 billion. Yeah, but you can afford it. Hey, have some empathy. You can afford it. There is nothing charitable about committing misdeeds and subsidizing it through the American workers dollar. Let's be really clear about this. They say the United States can afford it. When they are saying the United States can afford it. Whether it is usaid, whether it is the irs, CIA, FBI, whether it's our spending into NATO, un, whether it's what we send to other nations, whether it's how we are subsidizing these illegal immigrants in this country. What they are really saying when they say the US can afford it is the American workers can afford it. And that includes those who are employees and small business owners. You can afford it. Let me ask you this. You have a tax bill coming up. We're almost in April. Can you afford it? You feel like you can afford it? That's a genuine question. Let's stop separating you, the taxes you pay and the government and some international treaty. No, you take that money that is coming out of your check or that you write each quarter depending how you do it. And you know what? Divvy it up. Go. Okay. NATO. All right. Usaid. Okay. Illegal immigration. Maybe we could add up some percentages and I want you to do that with every single one of your tax returns and you tell me if you can afford it. Also, let's keep in context. What's our debt now? What's our total debt?
