"our system is broken when, if you do things right, you cannot see your wife and your four kids or cannot even get the application started going in about two and a half years."

"I just want to make sure that those kids have rights and those parents have rights during those kind of actions."

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing."
