what would be the proper protocol to put in place? the proper protocol would be to have each individual evaluated by somebody with a board certification and a primary care specialty. that would be the ideal thing. the next best thing would be to have physician extenders like nurse practitioners and physician assistants under the supervision of board-certified primary care specialist watchin this and supervising this as it took place. this will be very expensive, very expensive. very expensive and when we have 140,000 people as we had i the month of may, coming across our border, just for the people we ve apprehended, that s an entire small u.s. city. that s in enormous amount of resources and manpower that frankly the federal government right now just doesn t have and doesn t employ. i agree. i don t think it could be properly done, that s why we
people or adults or to the public at large, as a physician what would be the proper protocol to put in place? the proper protocol would be to have each individual evaluated by somebody with ame board certification and a primary care specialty. that would be the ideal thing. the next best thing would be to have physician extenders like nurse practitioners and physician assistants under the supervision of board-certified primary care specialist watching this and supervising this as it took place. this will be very expensive very expensive. very expensive and when we have 140,000 people as we had in the month of may, coming across our border, just for the people we ve apprehended, that s an entire small u.s. city. that s in enormous amount of resources and manpower that frankly the federal government right now just doesn t have and doesn t employ.rn i agree. i don t think it could be properly done, that s why we must get this thing under control. thank you for being here tonight,
time. sandra: two big events on capitol hill. we ll hear from house republicans at a press briefing. their first since the holidays, of course, that will be a big one to watch for. house democrats start voting on leadership roles in the next congress with nancy pelosi on track to return as house speaker. doug mcelway is live in washington with more on this. a lot coming up in the next couple hours, doug. the gop outlook has just about two weeks long in total, that s the duration of their majority. the brief period of time where they can attempt to wrap up investigations and pass what few pieces of legislation that seem within reach. chief among them is border security and paying for the president s border wall. we need to solve and have border security. we know since the house merging we have resources for that. we hope the senate will do the same. we have the farm bill to finish out. elements of the tax bill you saw come out with extenders and others to finish as well. there is
