The Environmental Protection Agency's inspector general said it is investigating EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt's use of nonpublic email accounts.

Would it be beneficial for HHS to notify State governments of placement of unaccompanied children with sponsors within their States?

Is the success rate increasing?

Would you just take a minute to describe how you learn that an unaccompanied child is now part of the community say in Georgetown, Delaware?

Anybody else aware of a good practice that we ought to be mindful of?

God bless the Chief Justice and the folks who work with him, they rounded up 75 lawyers to provide pro bono assistance.

I often say in this room, find out what works, do more of that.

We actually dramatically increased funding for judges, the courts, and stuff like that.

Congress has been incredibly responsive to this program.

It is a challenging program because of the fluctuation of the population, surges, ebbs and flows.

I have asked my staff to check, Mr. Chairman, and to our witnesses, and see what is the level of funding that we have provided in the past for immigration judges, immigration courts, that sort of thing.

We are complicit in the misery of the people who live in those three countries by virtue of our addiction to drugs.

If we had a reasonable, comprehensive immigration reform plan in place and were implementing that so that people who actually wanted to come and work here could do so as a guest worker, go back and forth.

Get this done. Way too much time has passed. We want to impart a sense of urgency. Get this done.

HHS is failing in these and in a number of other areas.

Let us get this done.

We are failing in our responsibility to protect and properly care for these children after they arrive here seeking our help.

I want to thank you for the commitment you have shown over a number of years to better care for vulnerable migrant children.

That undermines our rule of law and an effective immigration system.

We continue to believe HHS has the authority and responsibility to care for and keep track of these children.

That is, of course, not acceptable and not workable.

We care about the JCO because we care that we have a plan in place to protect these kids when they are in government custody.

The idea of having 50 States going their own way just made no sense to Senator Blunt or me.

If you want to have a good picture of what is not working around here, it is getting data breach legislation enacted.

The opioid crisis cannot be tackled by CMS alone.
