The u. S. Southern border. Good morning, everybody. The hearing will come to order. Ill make an Opening Statement and then senator feinstein and i think senator cornyn and durbin would also like to make a statement. Then well swear in the witness and get on with the business before us. Before i make my Opening Statement, there was a meeting last night with senator shelby and senator mcconnell and the republican members of the Appropriations Committee.

So i think the game plan is that were going to take the 4. 5 billion that was in the disaster package that was unfortunately taken out and mark it up next week as a standalone proposition to get money flowing to the border to deal with the Housing Conditions and take some stress, not only off the agents, but the migrants. I think it would be money wellspent as 3. 3 billion for humanitarian assistance increases in the shelter cap
