I wonder if that is sort of a comprehensive approach. It sounds to me like it is intended to be.

Many observers warned that as long as the Northern Triangle countries remained mired in violence and poverty, migration would continue.

We need to see these migrants as people, not simply as numbers.

Unless there is real serious buy-in from the political elite in the country, very little of this will have any success.

the people down there are fed up, and some of them are voting with their feet to try to get out.

somebody is going to kill you or your family, that is pretty good intimidation.

Enforcement alone is not going to do it. Aid alone is not going to do it. Governments alone are not going to do it.

These included public information campaigns on the dangers of the journey, expedited court hearings, an increased focus on human smuggling and trafficking rings.

We have a moral obligation to...put ourselves in their shoes.

If you are young and not liberal, you do not have a heart. If you are old and not conservative, you do not have a brain.

What lessons are there for us today from Plan Colombia?

I think there is some money in the appropriations bill in the Senate that would, I think, fund--maybe not $1 billion, but maybe $600 million.

others are voting with their feet to try to create a situation where people like the President are arrested and put where they belong--in jail.

As I have said to you before, in terms of Secretary Clinton, who I have served with, have great respect for, the person that I will support for President, if he announces, is the Vice President.

I hope we are also in agreement that we need to make sure that the basic human rights of those who are fleeing and have legitimate asylum claims should be respected.

Loved doing it. It was an honor.

The Governments of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador must take the lead on this--and they are.

The process seems mind-numbing.

I think this is a big issue, and most people have not a clue of the value to our country, to their communities, of a Census done well.

How do we incentivize people to be better citizens in this process?

It is just really imperative that we deliver.

My hope is that is going to serve us well.

That sounds like a lot.

A lot of people think that we in Washington cannot organize and run a good three-car funeral procession.

Is there any time during that process we somehow convey to people why this is important for them to do it, to respond?
