  • DECADES FULL IN FOREST AND

  • CARRIED OUT IT HAS MASSIVE

  • IMPLICATIONS FOR THE INCOMING

  • LEGAL POPULATION AND THOSE

  • ALREADY IN THE COUNTRY.

  • >> WE TALKED TO BEING FULLY

  • ENFORCED WHAT YOU THINK THE

  • OF ICE TO ACTUALLY REMOVE

  • FOLKS.

  • OF THOSE TO LIMIT THE CAPACITY

  • OF ICE TO THE EXTENT OF THOSE

  • NUMBERS THEY ARE ABLE TO GET
