00:07I really don't know. One thing I do know, I know there have been policy changes around immigration,

00:16so I absolutely know for sure that the change in immigration policy and the crackdown has caused

00:24people to be swept up in the system that would normally not. Basically tourists are being swept

00:32up. But what makes it worse for the tourists which are being swept up is that the detention centres

00:41are being filled because of the crackdown. Becky told us a few days ago that her detention centre,

00:48which is a 1,500 women detention centre, it will be at capacity next week. So I think part of the

00:56reason why this has been such a slow, really slow process is because of the workload that ICE are

01:03having to go through. So I can't really get angry at the ICE organisation. They're just being totally

01:12overloaded with cases. So if you're an innocent tourist, you're still at the back of a long queue

01:19of paperwork.
