This event. Mr. Graybill good evening. Thanks so much for coming. It seems particularly appropriate given the subject of todays lecture to encourage you to pretend as if you are in church and to move in, scoot in if you would, to give folks who are, not necessarily late arriving, but people who are fashionably on time room to sit. I should say that this answers an ageold question for me. Which is if there is anything that can depress the turnout, i think we have the answer. Which is no.

Integrate our mutual interest but also ensure it doesnt impede our flow of services across the border. When it comes to security, its pretty well embedded. Its intelligence sharing. Its drones. Its 20,000 customs and Border Protection agents. Security is fine, but i think one of the unsung relationships that has proven pretty valuable to both countries is the Sentry Program where we prescreen millions of prescreen individual mexican citizens coming b back and forth across e program, and the secure trade, where people agree to a certain compliance regimen from the manufacturer to the warehouse to the driver to the ultimate importer and they expedite the trade. From day one the relationship has been, okay, its in our mutual interests to preserve a secure border, to try to manage that risk as best we can, but lets do it in a way that doesnt impede this extraordinary trade relationship we have.

I think
Children with their parents or how long those kids will be waiting. Well ask the chairman of the Senate Homeland security committee, ron johnson, next. And shifting blame. President trump keeps hammering democrats for the immigration chaos. Democrats put Illegal Immigrants before american citizens. But democratic lawmakers say these kids are being kept in prisons. These children especially are traumatized. Congresswoman barbara lee and senator Bernie Sanders respond in moments. Plus, kicked out, Sarah Sanders forced to leave a restaurant because of her political views. With political allies warning a cruel policy could sink the party, might republicans be missing out on more than meals come november . Hello, im jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is still confused, and concerned as more than 2,000 undocumented Migrant Children remain in custody, separated from their parents.
