So there is funding, appropriated funding available to you, that you could be using immediately to open QACs with the census being right around the corner.

And did not recommend eliminating them.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I appreciate it and thank you, Dr. Dillingham, for your answers. You have some work to do.

Are you aware, according to the census' own audit, that many of these QACs were budgeted only enough for 15 hours of staff time per week, or were only open during hours when most people are at work?

I beg to differ. So let's talk about the Mobile Response Initiative that you are touting.

The--we produce, I, and apportionment counts. Let me get back to you on that.

The red carpet was clearly rolled out for us.

So you are getting rid of these centers, where more people than the population of an entire state were counted?

When will you be responding?

But you just said you are not going to have QACs.

I have it right here

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today to urge the House to pass the Venezuela TPS Act of 2019, which would grant Venezuelan nationals urgently needed temporary protective status in the United States of America…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge the House to pass this resolution which opposes efforts to delegitimize the State of Israel through the global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement. This…

When will you be responding?

I appreciated the opportunity to accompany members of this subcommittee during a trip to the facility last week in my South Florida backyard.

So you are getting rid of these centers, where more people than the population of an entire state were counted?

It is right here in black and white----

Only July 1st, Senator Jack Reed and our colleague, Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence, who is a member of this committee, sent you a letter asking for details on your proposal Mobile Response Initiative.

Is it correct that the Fiscal Year 2019 Appropriations Bill Report specifically directed the Bureau to open QACs?

Will you simultaneously provide a copy of your response to that letter to this committee?

More specifically, when will you be responding?

There is a current dispute over whether illegal aliens can be included for apportionment purposes.

A 15-year-old boy was just reunited with his family... He went without a shower and toothbrush while he was detained for five days.

I want an answer. I want you to look into how many children have been detained by your agencies who don't meet the statutory definition of unaccompanied minor.

It's not punishment, it's abuse.
