I think we have an oversight responsibility.

I will tell you what it is. It is very simple. It is the number of sponsors out there, the number of sponsors who have been denied.

the reality is we have an asylum system that is broken, and until we fix that it is not going to be solvable post-Title 42.

Title 42 is not sustainable. I get that. It is a public health authority. It is not meant to be an immigration law.

We do not enforce the laws in the sense that what the laws say is that we are supposed to detain people pending the process of asylum, and we do not do that.

I appreciate your holding this hearing on the Southwest Border, which clearly is in a crisis situation now.

The asylum process is totally broken and it acts as a magnet to draw people to the border.

I think that makes a lot of sense. It is going to be expensive but it absolutely crucial to me that the last people coming in are the first people who are told, we understand that your country has issues and that the economics are a real…

This year so far, 2022, it is unprecedented. It is not a 15-year high. It is an historic high.

We provided the funding for you back in 2019 to get to that number of 40 percent, at least, of cars, 70 percent of trucks, and we should provide more.

The alternative to Title 42 is that they are going to do what they cannot do now, because of Title 42, which is apply for asylum.
