Those issues back home to ensure that some of the areas that were not getting the attention they deserve, geographically, because we know where some of these kids, most of the kids, are coming from and their families.

So i do think you see a difference as you saw reflected in the three press dents here last week, in the attention to those causes. Anybody have any other observation . Yes. I cant speak to the what the ambassador did here, but i have to say that on the ground, in the communities where were working, hundreds of communities through out the region, the objective conditions on the ground are really, everybody has been describing them with levels of violence and poverty.

He can set these priorities to make this big splashy executive order that is designed to tell republicans, you need to pass a different law.
