The No. 1 message to stop this is planes arriving in Honduras and Guatemala with these children back home.

I think you made a grievous error in denying Congressman Bridenstine access to that facility.

Is it the policy of HHS not to ask the status of those people with whom you are placing the child?

That needs to be changed in order to solve this problem.

I would appreciate any feedback you can give me on that.

The best way to stop the flow is to send them back.

there is no committee in Congress that does more oversight than the Intelligence Committee.

One of the things that has not been able to be achieved yet is a consensus between the Administration and Congress on tackling the big elephant in the room, which is deficit reduction.

Will you state before this Committee that you will do everything in your power to keep the commitment that the DATA Act timelines are fulfilled?

The very fact that they have to get up to speed to comply tells you that they do not know what they doing in terms of management because they do not know where they are spending the money.

The very reason we wanted the DATA Act in the first place, is to force that consolidation of data so that they will actually know what they are doing and where they are spending the money.
