:04:16. > :04:20.800,000 individuals should be allowed to remain. That's what

:05:01. > :05:05.that time, they have an -- until early October to renew. They have a
:05:06. > :05:10.two-year window to wait and see what happens. If Congress decides that
:05:11. > :05:14.they should not be allowed to remain after that, they are liable for
