David Price: “But the longer-term rebuilding is where the CBDG comes in and fills the gap?”

Mr. Secretary, as we hold you accountable this morning for what happens at the border, I am cognizant that Congress is accountable for failing to give the Department a realistic legal framework for managing the border.

I would like to extend sincerest gratitude to Senator Schatz and Senator Murkowski for the opportunity to testify today.

Immigration reform would not solve all of our problems at the border, but without reform we are knowingly accepting a status quo that has become increasingly untenable.

I strongly believe that ARPA-H would be more successful in its unique mission if it were established as an independent agency within Health and Human Services.
