I would tell you, we used to have a court and a judge in my hometown of Cincinnati.

The number one responsibility for ensuring that the child attends the hearing is the sponsor.

I have to be a little skeptical since the JCO took 17 months from the time you committed to have it to us until you had it to us.

These kids are in a situation where they do not have a legal status.

The issue is who is responsible for ensuring these kids are not abused, and making sure that they are getting the proper care.

We need to repair the immigration systems. There is no question about that.

I think the summary--Mr. McHenry, correct me if I am wrong--in terms of how many unaccompanied kids actually show up for a hearing, I think their best number is that it is less than half.

Nobody is enforcing the agreement is what you are saying?

We believe Congress has given you that authority, and by the way, if you do not, who does?

If it is getting better, that is great. That is what we want to see. If, as we probably all suspect, it is not, we have to figure something out here.

The welfare of the child is the responsibility of the sponsor.

Unfortunately, we have seen examples of children placed with sponsors being trafficked.
