We are prepared to allow whoever comes to the country, they can afford access to our asylum system if they have a right to do so.

This is a shock to all of us, and I think to your people as well.

You are saying you cannot tell us today whether any of them were released into the United States.

It is just not accurate to mislead the American people.

I hear what you are saying. You are not going to give us any information unless we can do it in a classified setting.

When the Title 42 public health order is lifted, we anticipate migration levels will increase, as smugglers will seek to take advantage of and profit from vulnerable migrants.

Unfortunately, decisions to deemphasize internal enforcement... do nothing to actually deter unlawful migration.

I worked with you then. You were Deputy Secretary. Your deportation numbers are 80 percent lower than they were under the Obama-Biden administration.

You have been using Title 42 to turn back about another 1 million people.

Do you disagree that there were 50 people who were released into the country as Afghan evacuees who have security----

If we do not make changes quickly to provide for an alternative to Title 42 we will be even more overwhelmed.
