Alright, let’s dive right in to the legal/illegal immigration, deportation kerfuffle and it’s downstream effect on Main Street labor in general and construction labor in particular, this post being my qualified opinion as a semi-retired, still licensed general contractor in the state of California, currently, the fourth largest economy on the planet. PS. A massive hot potato topic means a massive, mashed potato post! Enjoy.

First things first: the management, and mismanagement of our tax dollars. Illegal labor, a net benefit or a net loss? That is the question!

Like most of you reading this, I am a US citizen and a US taxpayer. I file 2 IRS Sch C’s, one for my carpentry/general contractor business and one for my vintage flea market biz. I pay the IRS quarterly and I do my own taxes (maze of worksheets, multitude of forms, etc). I have hands on, skin in the game and a very informed opinion when it comes to construction labor and the role legal and illegal immigrants play in it. I’ve worked side by side with many of them on construction sites and kitchen remodels, mostly Mexican and Central American and, by and large, they work as hard as I do. I also take how my tax money is being spent, and more often misspent by the gazillion government bureaucrats doing all they can to “make work” in order to get their slice of the government tax pie we all contribute too, pretty damn seriously. 

Able bodied labor, whether native born or immigrant, has been an issue in America going all the way back to our colonial beginnings. Remember forced immigration, aka, “slavery”? Currently, our population/citizen work force is aging, and more often than not, not aging gracefully. We are one of the least healthy “developed” (?!) nations on the planet, yet we spend the most on health care. Post Covid Coup, it should be obvious that this health crisis in America, one of the wealthiest nations on the planet, appears to be by long planned, nefarious design by those entities able to profit handsomely from the misfortune they are responsible for creating, whether that be Big-Pharma, the CCP, or one of a multitude of wealthy, powerful, psychopathic puppet masters. Our birth replacement rate is declining while our post covid excess mortality rate has increased. Just ask the life insurance companies documenting on the sidelines. The unspoken, hard data speaks for itself for those who dare to look. 

As I mentioned in a 2023 post, both the decrease in births and the increase in excess deaths can be attributed to the experimental, mRNA covid jabs. (Oops! There go the Vax Happy’s! See ya!) Following the timeline and doing the math, that’s potentially a net negative for America’s labor force before the Trump/Miller deportation wet dream got into full swing. Even before Covid, our US Military considered America’s health crisis to be a National Security Issue due to the high percentage of young but obese applicants unable to pass the physical and basic training due to “unfit for service”, poor health that typically accompanies obesity and the sedentary lifestyle our city kid youngsters seem to prefer. 

Trump’s recent firing of Erika McEntarfer from the Bureau of Labor Stats, whether justified or capricious (remains to be seen), seemed to have the effect of raising the question across the board, just how reliable are the stats the BLS brings to the table, the stats that effect the business decisions that mostly concern big business, big finance and corporate America. Bad data typically results in bad business decisions. Reliable data is essential. As to reliable data on the economic and social contributions that illegal labor brings to the table, I’d imagine tracking that data is a bit difficult due to it’s underground, “off the books”, “nod nod, wink wink”, nature. Hmmm. By design? Is undocumented labor a net benefit or a net loss in the greater scheme of things? Does our tax money not spent on social support of deported illegals outweigh the benefit they bring from their labor services and the earnings they spend in our communities? Will we ever know? Demanding access to granular data might help!

This conundrum would not exist if an efficient, reliable system was in place to background check and “green card” immigrant labor in a short period of time. Says the Economic Policy Center, “An alternative path to terminating temporary statuses would be to provide these workers with a permanent immigration status like a green card—and the rights that accompany it—allowing them to have full, equal, and permanent workplace rights and to exercise them in practice. That, in turn, would lead to higher wages and improved labor standards for all workers, not just those who newly obtain green cards.” And then they would be on the hook for paying the taxes that fund the limited social services they receive, and one step closer to formally applying for US citizenship, should they choose to do so. And the dollars they spend in our local communities would benefit Main Street. “Yay!”, say the tax paying citizens like me. We no longer have to subsidize an undocumented workforce, and as long as they are productive and well behaved, welcome!

However, the caveat. “Green cards can only be granted by Congress, and so far, the Republicans who control all three branches of government have shown no appetite for creating even one new green card.”, continues the EPC. Even after several decades of this “look the other way” situation, it still hasn’t happened! Interesting. Who benefits from it not happening? The anti minimum wage, cheap skate employers who also want to avoid government paperwork transparency by hiring those who are here illegally? Or perhaps something bigger, something more nefarious? That is the question.

Trump’s determination to exceed Obama’s deportation numbers… with a little help from his Field Marshall

Commenting on the Trump/Miller illegal labor round-up that just fkd MAGA employer’s, the Economic Policy Center mentions, “Employers also greatly benefit from workers having a protective status and a work permit. While comprehensive data are limited, we know, for example, that in 2017 the top five industries for TPS (Temp Protected Status) beneficiaries from El Salvador, Honduras, and Haiti were construction, restaurants and food services, landscaping, child day care services, and grocery stores. Employers in these industries and many others are in danger of losing their current workforce and will be prohibited from legally recruiting millions of other workers.” So, suddenly a big chunk of our tax dollars are not being spent on the social services this illegal demographic needs. “Yay!”, say the hourly/salaried and retired MAGA’s. “WTF?!”, say the MAGA Main Street, Chamber of Commerce, small business owners who once hired and depended on an illegal workforce, but who are now smarting from Field Marshall Miller’s ICE’y bite to their butts!

How many noticed that when Trump finally mentioned the possibility that perhaps Miller was being a bit too aggressive administering ICE personal (assisted by deputized Craig’s List (?) “thugs wanted” for temporary deportation duties) after several weeks of ICE mischief, that he initially made no mention of his heavy handed policy’s detrimental effect on the construction industry?! 

When he first mentioned Miller’s over zealous deportation hitting farmers, Big Ag and the hospitality industries pretty hard, he neglected to mention anything about the industry he grew up in, his dad’s construction business!  Another example of Trump trying to avoid taking responsibility for another industry closest to him that he just seriously screwed ? The construction industry estimates twenty to thirty percent of it’s labor force (depending on the trade) to be undocumented, illegal, skilled and un-skilled, able bodied labor. Imagine a situation where they suddenly decided not to show up for work. Gustavo Arellano’s next book might just be called, “Several Years Without a Mexican”! With very few US citizens willing or able to take their place, we might soon start to appreciate the value that immigrants who are here legally or illegally, bring to the table. 

From the “2025 Construction Outlook”, workforce shortage article in Electrical Contractor Magazine, ”As more (building) sites become project ready, the demand for resources is expected to increase wait times for materials and cost. Demand for engineering resources, architectural resources and labor could become intense”. Intense?! Hmmm. Since skilled American construction labor is increasingly scarce and the demand for that scarer resource continues to inch higher, doesn’t that typically suggest, “Hey boss, about that raise..”, coming soon?! Ken Simonson, chief economist for Associated General Contractors of America mentioned in the July edition of ECM, ”I expect wages in 2025, at least for craft workers (skilled), to rise in the 4.5%-5% range.”

From a recent Guardian story, “In Washington state, immigrants (legal? illegal? mix?) make up 25% of the trades workforce in construction. With a consistent labor shortage and demand for housing constantly growing, residential construction needs all the skilled workers available,” a spokesperson for the Building Industry Association of Washington recently said. As to the need for “all the skilled workers available”… “Hey boss, me again. Ya sitting down?… Bad news. Looks like making our completion deadline on this project ain’t gonna happen. Showed up this morning and by eight only had about two thirds of the crew show up. Most of the Mexicans were no shows. Something about La MAGA, La Migra, I don’t know. Some kinda immigration bullshit. Also had one of the banker boys show up asking lots of questions. Said he’s been trying to get in touch with you… heh heh heh.”

Three strikes to labor shortage! New homeowners forced to assist construction crews to complete building of their homes, as per new Medicaid qualifications?!

This construction labor shortage has now added a third element to the increasing labor vacuum – aggressive deportation of undocumented workers. On behalf of the Construction Industry USA (a bit of sarcasm here), thank you President Trump, thank you Field Marshall Miller, thank you ICE. Filling that vacuum is going to be increasingly difficult going forward, especially since Trump is now hell bent on beating (and burying) Obama at every metric, including the deportation of those here illegally, which Obama recently held. And as of now, according to Reuters, “the total number of deportations under Trump trails former President Joe Biden’s last year in office.”

The previous two punches to labor, an aging/retiring workforce and the disabling side effects of the mandated mrna jab, has been happening in every big city USA, and in many cases globally, for several years now. Will Trump’s aggressive deportation agenda initiate a crisis?

Coincidentally, this worker shortage, “Help Desperately Wanted”, in almost every industry imaginable has been an increasing problem, oh, since just after the Trump Operation Warp Speed vaccine rollout and the Bully Biden mandates that followed, forcing the magic mRNA jabs into about 68.5723% of the US workforce, many of whom went on to experience nasty side effects from the jab. What was psy-op’d onto the global psyche during all phases of the Covid Coup, hate to say, ain’t over yet. Not even close. Sixth inning, maybe. And yet another subject that Trump, and every labor economist you can think of (except moonlighting me) is too reluctant, too embarrassed, or too fearful to mention. The gaslighting and the attempts to Memory Hole all things covid and the covid Fauci/ Bill Gates/ WEForum vaccines by the Trump administration, are still with us and are still having a detrimental effect on US labor and the American psyche. That being said, let’s let the updated in July 2025, FRED/US Bureau of Labor Stats graph concerning “Civilian Labor Force, 16 and over, with a disability”, speak for itself. Please to note the line’s trend is up, not down. Had the experimental jabs been as “safe and effective” as promoted, the line would have been back down to pre January 2021 levels two or three years ago! Unfortunately, it ain’t.

The Guardian story continues, ““On a national level the construction industry has repeatedly warned of the negative impacts of immigration raids on what they claim has already been a severe labor shortage in US construction.” Yep. A few months downstream from now, due to the triple threats to the labor market, things could look pretty bleak on some of those “under construction”, big city, multi-family apartment projects only midway through completion, perhaps smack dab in the middle of your soon to be blighted neighborhood, unless Trump reigns in his jumping for joy, deport rabid, Field Marshall Miller or those hoping to be new homeowners suddenly master the skills needed to complete the construction of their future homes. Unlikely. 

On the other hand, as Team Toad is shipping immigrant labor back to their country of origin adding to the ongoing labor shortage, all those now and/or soon to be unemployed Federal workers (DOGE), AND those able bodied X-Medicaid recipients who are now required to prove some work history in order to receive future Medicaid benefits (Trump’s Big Bad Bullshit Bill), may just be the ticket to fill in the labor vacuum! Hmmm. Maybe that was Trump’s sadistic genius all along. Get them laggard, college degreed, desk job bureaucrats accustomed to nine to five air conditioned comfort an opportunity to do some meaningful, physically demanding construction work involving head, hands and tools, or the opportunity to get out in the sunshine picking produce under the San Joaquin Valley, (HOT!) summer sun. Sorry, wide brimmed hat and sunscreen not included. When those state unemployment benefits end, those options might start looking better and better with the arrival of each and every new bill that arrives in the mail.

And just when I thought it was possible that Trump and MAGA may soon be satisfied with the media optics of his heavy handed deportation policy making the case that he means business, only to back off a bit from his deportation quotas (think tariffs on/off/on/off) due to massive local/national Chamber Pot of Commerce and Main Street MAGA business owner threats, which could gently nudge him to suddenly go Reagan Amnesty to the rescue for all immigrants here illegally… this just in – 

“ICE Looking to Hire Personnel, Offers $50,000 Signing Bonus”, from The Epoch Times, July 30. “ICE is offering attractive incentives for new recruits, including signing bonuses of up to $50,000, student loan repayment (Trump channeling Biden??!!) and forgiveness options, overtime pay, and enhanced retirement benefits.” Damn! Looks like Trump intends to keep deportation and it’s downstream effects around for a while! This looks more job secure than doing inclement weather flea markets! Oh-Oh. No mention seems to be made on whether or not these ICE jobs are temporary. It also sounds to me like Trump/Miller might just be thinking ahead and attempting to create their own militia in case the upcoming (?) MAGA Mutiny gets a little boisterous. Naw! And just why is Field Marshall Miller so hostile to Mexican and latino immigrants? Ha! Jealousy?! I suspect long ago, his days at Santa Monica High School when he was just exploring novel ways to be offensive, the white chicks he wanted to hit on showed a strong preference for their Latino, Latin lover classmates instead of a guy who looks like the son of a Stalag 13 commandant, sans the uniform. “Ewwww!”, said the white chicks. “He looks so… Arayn!” Pissed him off? Long Simmering Revenge?!! Maybe.

Ultimately, it seems that America’s now institutionalized policy of not of finding an efficient and effective way of processing and qualifying immigrants who want to live and/or work here has come back to bite us HARD! The “nod nod, wink wink”, look the other way joke that’s been going on well before Reagan’s amnesty is now on all those businesses like construction, and food prep, and health care, and hospitality, and farms, that make regular use of undocumented, illegal labor: all those business entities who are too lazy to get their immigrant labor force up to speed and documented with green cards and on to the state/IRS tax paying books just like we the US citizens are. Now they have varying degrees of a labor vacuum to fill that’s of their own making, due to their lack of willingness to jump through those “pain in the ass” bureaucratic hoops. Bureaucratic Hoops?! Ugh, documentation. I gotta admit, I can’t say I blame them. 

But somehow I suspect our immigration policy weaknesses serve the interests of the corporate/government puppet masters to leave things as inefficient as they are. Inefficiencies are often ripe for juicy exploitation, yes! Hmmm, all those “sponsors” of quasi legal immigrants caught creating “fraudulent information in thousands of application forms”, aided by the ability to access dormant Social Security numbers of people who have died, now recently exposed by DOGE? And apparently, these intentional weaknesses and work arounds in our immigration system can work out very well for wealthy foreign individuals who use beneficial ownership shell corporations to fast track their visa and green card approval. Just ask recent Project Veritas whistleblower, Patricia Lelis, “who benefits?” It seems that Trump’s former AG, Bill Barr, may have been exploiting immigration weak spots on behalf of his wealthy buddies very well! Unfortunately for Barr and Buds, LLC, his attempt to lure her into a “Control File” (a record of illegal actions useful for future blackmail) with a seven figure deposit into her bank account was sideswiped by her integrity. Refreshing! People like this are what makes America great!! Let’s see how much Mr. Barr disagrees.

And their Employers lived happily ever after… until they got BUSTED!!

The spokesperson for the Building Industry Association of Washington mentioned in the Guardian article above, also noted, “Policymakers should also support sensible immigration policies that preserve and expand existing temporary work visa programs while also creating new market-based visa programs that will accurately match demand with available labor. We’ve provided our members with guidance on how to legally employ immigrants, including verifying the identity and US employment authorization of all employees. We also generally support improving US Immigration policy to allow responsible and law-abiding undocumented workers a pathway to achieving citizenship.” Who’d a thunk?! Nice to see that someone is attempting to do the right thing instead of continuing to enable the illegal wrong thing! 

And what do you know?! It seems someone on Team Trump must have been listening because his administration just announced, “new regulations are forthcoming to formalize and expand those efforts”, which included Trump saying, “We’re not going to do anything to hurt the farmers… we’re going to be coming out with rules and regulations.” Finally! And apparently, by way of the Epoch Times, that also includes a brand new club house established in June called the Office of Immigration Policy, mandated to “coordinate and streamline foreign labor certification programs, including H-2A and H-2B visas, for employers seeking legal seasonal workers”. Trump’s Labor Secretary, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, also “stressed that the changes are intended to shorten wait times and lower costs for employers, not to create new pathways for illegal immigrants”. Sounds great! But throughout the entire, hot off the press Epoch article dated August 6, 2025, not a single mention of the construction industry or construction labor estimated to be from twenty to thirty percent illegal hires! You’d think that after all these months of aggressive ICE raid’s, and protests, and media coverage that by now Trump would give some recognition to the industry with the second (?) largest illegal labor workforce, Construction! Weird. Really weird.

In the meantime, this situation continues to be quite the double edged sword. Illegal immigrants on one edge, employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants on the other. And unnoticed by most, it’s extremely unfair to those immigrants who have gone through and/or are going through the years long process of becoming US citizens only to be sideswiped by illegals who still get many of the social benefits, but don’t pay any taxes into the system.

Another thing that’s been blatantly missing from this story, employers who knowingly hire illegal labor. Employers who hire illegal immigrant labor don’t have to pay the minimum/prevailing wage for the work those illegal immigrants do. That saves the employer money because they are able to exploit their worker’s undocumented status, sometimes by not even paying the agreed upon wage at the job’s completion! Saving money makes the employer and their accountants happy. These same employers also don’t have to fill out the required government and insurance company paperwork for these undocumented employees. That saves the employer’s office staff tons of time and the employer lots of money! And besides, everybody’s doing it! Shhhh! Feeling guilt free and making lots of money especially makes the employer happy even though they are fully aware that hiring immigrants who are here illegally, is itself a very very illegal act that could result in hefty fines and/or prison for the employer, which, if enforced, would make the employer, and perhaps his/her accountants and some of their enabling staff, very unhappy in the event of getting busted.  Happiness, built on exploitation, is a devil’s bargain. 

Alright all you business entity owners who knowingly hire immigrants who are here illegally, and who are also very aware that it’s illegal to hire immigrants who are here illegally; who know that big fines and/or prison awaits those who break those (currently unenforced) laws… you are now on notice! Let’s get this show on the friggin road! Those BIAW links above and Trump’s new Office of Immigration Policy, USE THEM! Contact them! That labor vacuum that needs to be filled yesterday due to our aging workforce, an ongoing increase in labor disabilities, vaccine related excess deaths and infertility, and now aggressive deportation, might just turn into a hotter potato, national security issue by 2026, 2027. Will you do your part to stay ahead of it by getting your paperwork shit together and demanding that the State Department and Labor Department gets it’s paperwork shit together? Just askin.

Meantime… Dismal Dave’s really simple solution to immigration. Hint – “Bailiff, Thump his Bible!!”

Solution?! How about implementing a fair-trade, “Eye for an Eye”, tit for tat immigration policy with every nation on the planet, just like Trump’s tit for tat tariffs?! 

Trade ya six crime free, disease free dishwashers for a brilliant, compromised, computer programer! No?! Ok, make it twenty dishwashers and a years worth of glyphosate flavored granola bars and enough expired covid vax to “save” a thousand grannies?!

I’m a southern California native. The Mexican border is about three hours away from where I live. Immigrants, whether they be Mexican, Chinese, Armenian, Korean, India Indian, Japanese, Guatemalan, German, etc etc etc, are a huge, and often lovely part of the Southern California tapestry. Consequently, immigration policy, and the abuses of those policies, is often a hot topic. 

Years ago, as I began getting more and more involved with the vintage flea market culture and the buyers and tourist shoppers from all over the world that are part of this freaky, funky, self-reliant weird-o culture, I began wondering how other countries manage immigration. Are they as porous and as sloppy as America has recently become? Do they have strict immigration policies? Do they allow open borders? How do they qualify a potential immigrant’s application? If during a tourist visit to Japan or South America, I ran into an opportunity to work as a finish carpenter on a handcrafted home in a beautiful mountain valley or in a vintage vinyl record store “off the books”, illegally, what would happen if I got caught? Some of the wealthier and more opaque, “exclusive” countries (tax shelter islands), tend to have a minimum $ix figure paywall before red carpet immigration/dual citizenship will even be considered. Not an option for me. Unlike someone coming in cold off the street from a foreign land simply seeking opportunities and civil liberties not available in their home country, when that big bucks payment is made by a wealthy applicant, the paperwork involved appears to get the citizen passports, green cards and visas processed pretty quick, as the whistleblower Patricia Lélis mentioned earlier (part 2 here) will hopefully bring to our national attention.

With attitudes towards immigrants changing faster these days than an ADD adult’s attention span (I deal with many), and now having to witness first hand the effects of a Trump/Miller/ICE’s very roughshod deportation policy in action, often as close as some of the Mexican swap meets I shop at in search of vintage inventory, I’ve been thinking that since a civilized, fair solution has yet to appear on the horizon, how about we, the USA, simply apply the same deportation criteria to each and every illegal alien as the country that that person is from would apply to an American citizen attempting to illegally live/work in their country? Kinda sorta similar to what Trump is trying to do with tariffs as he “negotiates” with our trading partners. An “Eye for an Eye” policy, if you will. Immigrate unto others as they would emigrate unto you.

In a nutshell: US labor policy for immigrants seeking work permits/green cards – If no gringos are allowed to illegally work and take jobs from citizens of country X, in an “eye for an eye” immigrant labor policy, that would mean no illegal immigrants from country X can work or immigrate to the USA. Simple! As no fuss and as State Department diplomatically fair as it gets. If their country processes immigrants in a very timely fashion, as ultra digitized Estonia does, we act accordingly and process them in approximately the same amount of time. If their country leans towards slow, bumbling bureaucracy that typically takes several months to process an applicant, we do likewise. An Eye for an Eye, a Tit for a Tat. Of course, this policy would consider expiditing the process and bypassing tit for tat for those times when special skill sets are desperately needed, or just run of the mill, able bodied workers are in extremely short supply.

However, If an illegal is apprehended here in the US and their home country’s illegal immigrant policy is to fine and deport that illegal person back to their home country immediately, as Mexico kinda sorta does but appears not to enforce, well, an “Eye for an Eye” hombre! Back home ya go! If the apprehended person’s home country has an open border policy to anyone who wants to emigrate, as Israel has to anyone (?) who is Jewish, well, if that Israeli illegal speaks yiddish/hebrew fluently, and as long as they are not related to or good buddies with Nut&Yahoo, “Welcome to America!” However, if an apprehendee is from a country that doesn’t give a flying fk about an emigrant’s criminal record due to his home countries being a bit short on skilled mercenaries, well, an “Eye for an Eye” may have to make an exception for that person. 

I only recently decided to look into other countries immigration/emigration policies, specifically, how are those who enter that country without a passport, without a visa, without any kind of work permit or “sponsor”, ie, unauthorized, and by their laws, “illegal”; how do they deal with those who attempt to not only visit and/or live in their country, but also to work in their country as an illegal, unauthorized alien. No surprises. The USA is often the most generous, While the criteria for application varies greatly amongst the G20 countries  with their varying degrees of open/closed ness, things are also far from uniform concerning attitudes towards illegal entry. Alas, what’s a Gringo to do?

It seems Portugal has recently hit it’s “economic stability” breaking point due to so many immigrants from all over the world (vinyl record dealers from southern California? Ya don’t say) in search of cheaper living, moving there and compromising it’s government’s ability to manage the needs of it’s own people. Porous (open?) borders. One set of standards for those who apply for citizenship and have to wait years for approval (typical for all countries!) vs what seems like allowing non-citizens to basically squat. Nice while it lasted. Portugal’s tax paying, fed up citizens, and citizen applicants, are now protesting on the streets and demanding, “Portugal is for the Portuguese! Locals only!!” Nationalism. Globalism. “Get the fk out of my yard!” – ism. “Eye for an Eye” Social/labor management can be tricky!

Regarding Trump/Miller’s sloppy undocumented labor management, It’s one thing to screw your MAGA base with the Big Bad Bullshit Bill’s fine print, another thing to fk what’s always made America great – it’s resilient Main Street, small businesses in every nook and cranny of small town, big city USA, and that’s what Trump/Miller are messin with big time! How is Main Street going to replenish all that lost, “look the other way, everybody’s doing it”, illegal labor? With fired federal employees? With able bodied Medicaid enrollees who now have to work twenty hours a week to get their formerly “free”, taxpayer funded benefits? Hmmm, What would Cuban Commandante Marco do? Go “Nyerere“?

As I mentioned in my previous post (you did read it, yes?), I’m not a Trump supporter, but in all fairness to the testy toad, it seems everyone is forgetting that he is only (excessively) doing what our federal immigration laws say can be done, which is, coincidentally, what every other country on the planet would do to those working/living illegally in their country (albeit, with varying degrees of enforcement) – deport, fine, and/or imprison/deport illegals back to their country of origin. It seems we silly Americans rarely think about how other countries manage illegal immigration. And it seems, by and large, their laws are fairly “eye for an eye”, tit for tat similar to ours. So why should America be different concerning managing illegals, especially when we are already at an economic breaking point of our own making and, like Portugal, desperately need to get our own social/economic house in order? 

Legal immigrants willing to jump through the administrative hoops, just like any other country, absolutely yes! Illegal immigrants unwilling to jump through our administrative hoops, whether they have big bucks, dirt poor, somewhere in-between or seeking asylum; sorry, maybe come back when you’ve reconsidered. 

Pretty simple, eh? Say, would you mind printing this out and slipping it under Field Marshall Miller’s door, “Achtung! For Immediate Attention” written in BOLD on the outside of the envelope? Much obliged.
