Well, it probably would decrease the backlog.

To me, it makes no sense at all that if a guy that is licensed and taking Medicare dollars, another entity that is licensed by the government, why a prescription cannot be filled for diabetes, high blood pressure, the vast majority of…

I would say that that is something that people have been doing for years. I am an optometrist by training, so, again, that is the basis of your practice, scheduling.

Why is that? I mean, is there any logical reason for that, as well?

I would like to see that. I think that would be interesting.

Thank you, Chairman Sanders and Ranking Member Burr, for having this very, very important meeting.

I think that was really a very good move.

The biggest deterrent is making it such that they realize that if they come to this country, they are going to go back.

If you multiplied your judges by 10, you would still be in trouble.

I really feel like you are going to have a lot of problems with the proposal you are giving us, because it is not balanced.

The President has been picking and choosing what laws to enforce and that has led us to the crisis we're currently facing.

To me, that is unacceptable.

That doesn't make sense to me, in the sense of increasing by 40 administrative judges, working through a backlog of 375,000.

The children involved in this situation are not the ones we should be blaming for the problems on our border.

I am very concerned about that.

We cannot continue to throw money at a problem that won't be solved if the Obama Administration won't discuss policy fixes with Congress.

That is why we have a Congress and congressional hearings, to go through all that theoretically.

Right. Thank you, Madam Chair.

I think you make a good point.

In your testimony, you equated that to a normal BMI range.

Senate Bill S. 1656 is sponsored by both Senator Mark Pryor and Senator John Boozman.

I have asked Secretary Shinseki for assurances that none of these deplorable practices are happening at VA medical centers (VAMCs) used by Arkansas veterans.

That is why I have joined with Senators Durbin to introduce legislation to create American jobs by increasing exports of U.S. goods and services to Africa by at least 200 percent in real dollar value over the next 10 years.

I believe that it is time for the United States to open new avenues to help American companies go head to head with their competitors in Africa.

I think it is a great project. Like you, I think it really has changed our ability to record some of these events.
