I want to stress a few points. Mr. Castro mentioned that this administration hasn't invested in aid to the Northern Triangle countries. One of the things that we need to recognize is that the zero-tolerance policy isn't working. It might…

Mr. Castro makes a good point regarding the guardrails, the funding. One of the things that I would like to point out is if this administration, this President, as he claimed, was the only one who could solve this problem, then why hasn't…

I thank the gentleman for inviting me to participate today. I actually serve on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and today we had a hearing about the conditions of the camps at the border, the conditions that the…

Correct. And what we were trying to remind them is that, by international law, by U.S. law, these migrants had a right to present themselves for asylum and then ask so that they can be processed. They ended up getting in. It was the woman…

With her kids. She was one of the folks, and she asked for a credible fear asylum hearing, and she went through the process. That is why we have this process, so that we don't end up with just a backlog at the border that is more dangerous…

And we know, because of that, you have a situation where people are getting sick in these facilities, and then putting the kids and the people whose immune systems are compromised into more vulnerable positions. We definitely have a lot of…

Correct. And that is where we want to make sure people understand that this crisis, the separating of the children, was a direct result of this policy. It doesn't say, yeah, they will be separated. But it is that they would be--zero…

And it wasn't only Secretary Nielsen. It was Kelly Anne Conway. It is a fabrication and a lie that has been repeated by the administration; and that is something that we want to call out, to make sure people understand that what is going…

Yes, at Otay Mesa. We spent the night at the Mexican side of the border, literally on the line, and we were there just to observe migrants to present themselves for asylum. They were on U.S. soil. They presented themselves. They were told…

Yes, correct. Customs and Border Protection refused to let us in to see it. So the migrants sat down. We sat down with them. We got there around 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and we didn't leave until the next day, around 7 a.m. So we spent…

I mentioned this article in the Oversight hearing. It is actually a ProPublica article, entitled: ``Inside the Secret Border Patrol Facebook Group Where Agents Joke about Migrant Deaths and Post Sexist Memes.''

I think you make some excellent points. One point I want to kind of talk about, this culture that is permeating Customs and Border Protection, I think that it is also based because of the leadership of this administration. The attitude of…

I believe it was Jeff Sessions that said that it was to be a deterrent for families to come up here.

to discuss how to address the defects of this technology.

I spent the night at the border in California with refugees that were seeking asylum. I know what some of their conditions and some of what they're dealing with.

This President claimed that he was the only one that could fix all our issues. Well, he's proven that he's the only one that can make them even worse than they were before he started.

I feel that we are stumbling into the future without really understanding how much liberty we are giving up for how much security.

I have a lot of concerns regarding the false-positive rate of the technology, racial bias in the technology, gender bias.

So does the FBI train personnel on the potential inaccuracies and biases of facial recognition algorithms?

That is not what I am asking.

I think about the transgender and non-binary communities, and we have seen reports that show that black women are more likely to be misidentified than any other group.

In the history of this country, we have always had this debate and this goal of trying to balance security with liberty.

How does the FBI combat the human tendency to trust computer-generated results?

A lot of this also revolves around training.

I am kind of keeping that in mind with the questions I am about to ask.
