Your perseverance and service to this nation, both the past, present and in the future too. Things arent getting a whole lot better any time soon, i fear. I would ask consent that my written Opening Statement be entered into the record. As a hearing on the border we havent had one for quite a few months, so i obviously need to use a chart. Thats really what i want to talk about in my opening comments. Weve held i think close to 40 hearings on some aspect of the issues on the border and with our broken immigration system, began keeping this chart on unaccompanied children but then as the whole issue with people coming across and exploiting our asylum laws coming as families, the problem just exploded in late 2018 and into 2019, and the main reason i want to show this chart, youll see the gold colored bars are single adults, down slightly, pretty persistent, pretty stable for the, you know, eight years this chart represents.

Subcommittee had in arraigning todays hearing arranging todays hearing. I. C. E. Declined to sit on the same panel with knack mote toe nakamoto, the contractor it chose. The departments lack of cooperation makes it more challenging for congress to do its job. At a meeting with dhs leaders, its important to the subcommittee to bring everyones voices together. Thats how we can best identify challenges and find ways to solve them. This issue is particularly important to me as two of i. C. E. s facilities detain upwards of 1300 migrants from in my home district. I visited these facilities, and i have concerns about some of the conditions of confinement.
