I think it is the decision on placement.

The care and custody of all unaccompanied alien children, including responsibility for their detention, where appropriate, shall be the responsibility of . . . Health and Human Services.

What is wrong with keeping these children in detention longer in order to make sure that we are not placing them with someone who is going to illegally use them as child labor or in sex trafficking.

Somebody is going to step up as a result of this hearing and take full and complete responsibility of these minor children that we have in our country.

If you are aware a high percentage is going to disappear or you are aware that we are putting at people at risk of trafficking, why wouldn't we hold them at their initial facilities?

Nothing breaks my heart more than the notion that these parents and their children facing unspeakable problems in their home countries took a risk that every parent in this room cannot even imagine taking.

Did we verify that person was a legal citizen of the United States?

That facility is exactly how I would have run my camp if money was no object.

It takes longer to develop a rocket engine today than it took to develop the entire Saturn V launch vehicle.

The Department continues to make sustaining and modernizing the nuclear enterprise a top priority.

The greatest strategic impact of this system, in my opinion, is that it is in the hands of an unpredictable leader with great disdain towards the United States.

Europeans need to step up, they need to be ready, and they need to do more in their own defense.

The best approach to maximize the use of limited resources in Europe is to operate by, with, and through our European partners.
