No one, including Russia, should think they can murder people with chemical weapons and get away with it.

We bear responsibility.

Russia has not attempted to negotiate in good faith and has done nothing to satisfy our concerns or those of our allies.

I do not think anybody wanted to do that.

I think we need to point out that fact.

We really do need to take a look at alternatives to detention, take a look at research, take a look at the cost-effectiveness of that.

I think a sovereign nation needs to do that--enforce our immigration laws, maintain reasonable asylum standards, and also keep asylum-seeking families together.

I do have a chart which I will enter in the record.

I do not think that is an acceptable state of affairs.

This is just an ongoing problem, and, again, I would argue there are certainly things in our laws that have created an incentive for children to come in unaccompanied from Central America.

I guess my final point--and this is why I think Congress has to act.

I want to quick interject here because I need to help our hearing moving forward to really get clarity on the whole judicial process here.

Our bill is just the simple first step in tackling this mounting problem.

He has done a lot of work in terms of national security, maintenance of our nuclear stockpile to keep this Nation safe.

we all traveled with him. We saw his commitment to individual liberty, freedom, the type of hero he was not only in America, but you go over to Ukraine because he was fighting for, again, those kind of democratic values.

We need an attitude change. When you look at NATO, the combined economic firepower of NATO is well north of $30 trillion. Russia is less than two. How can NATO, how can the EU, how can America allow that puny little economic power push us…

I do not think in any administration we have taken that on as aggressively as we should.

Moving our battalions into Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland... is the right move.

Do we not also have to take a look at what right now is the alternative to Poroshenko?

We are engaged in a war of ideas with authoritarian powers because Putin and definitely Xi Jinping... believe that their model is superior to ours.

The European Reassurance Initiative... is the right move.

To me, Ukraine has to be a top priority. We need to stop and push back Putin's aggression there.

Thank you, Senator McCaskill. Again, we want to thank both of you for your past service.

Again, all of these things we are talking about, this is in core Medicaid right now and just people really taking advantage of the system.

I would highly recommend, let us get in all 50 States, and let us do the audits.
