There has been crisis at the border.

It is an important function of this committee not only to conduct oversight but to use the information that is gained from its oversight to change the law when needed.

I hope that we can start to discuss some solutions to the issues that we discussed at the hearing in February.

I support strong enforcement of our Nation's borders, but I do not support separating children from their parents.
