The gentlewoman from New York is exactly right. When will the Democrats take it seriously? When will the President go to the border? When will the Vice President go to the border, the person who is supposed to be in charge of dealing with this crisis? When will the press be able to enter the holding facilities and actually show the American people how bad it is, what Ms. Malliotakis just described? When will Secretary Mayorkas come in front of the Judiciary Committee? We have asked for him to come, answer our questions, tell us how he is dealing with this crisis. When are the Democrats going to take this seriously? We do. We have all been down there. We asked them to go. They wouldn't go with us. The American people understand what is going on, how bad it is. I just hope the Democrats will deal with it sometime soon. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Issa).
