I am going to be a living witness of how important this particular hearing is.

The loss of a child is precious. I give my deepest sympathy to the families and, therefore, we must make sure that we correct it.

Where this tragedy falls is clearly at the feet of an administration that is inattentive and does not recognize that we are to comply with the international protocols of human rights and human decency.

Real border security cannot be achieved by building a wall on the Southern Border, blocking asylum seekers, or separating children from their parents.

The saddest, most tragic situation is the plight of tens of thousands of unaccompanied children or those who were taken from their parents or removed from the care of responsible adults.

I am going to be very clear that when you lead a Nation, all that happens, whether you like it or not, falls at your feet.

I strongly advocate for a crucial legislative fix for debate and vote that will provide permanent legal residence and a path to citizenship to the more than 800,000 Dreamers.

I know, as an entrepreneur myself, how very, very difficult it is in the best of times to be an entrepreneur.

I would hear from my colleagues across the Nation: 'Where are the test kits? I can't get any.'

The virus controls us.

We suffered greatly with no PPEs.

For this meeting and many others that I am dealing with, as well as a major testing, is life and death, and I would disagree with the gentleman who indicated the testing--he might want to correct his statement--is not important.

Please highlight it as one of the most important elements, because that is only way that you can get information.

I think it is important that we take note of the fact that Dr. Fauci has been an instrumental part of the White House task force.

I think that you following local, State, and CDC recommendations are imperative.

Thank you for calling such an amazing and highly respected witness.

I have asked for ICE to stand down. I have asked for the Federal Government--I have asked the White House task force to ask ICE to stand down.

I am now in the COVID epicenter. I am in what would be politely called Hades.
