Vice President Harris had to know as well. She's on my committee. So I wanted to ask Secretary Mayorkas whether he was aware that we heard testimony during my chairmanship that A child was sold for $84. I wanted to ask him, is he aware that children are recycled, that they're sent back over the border to be used by another adult, depose as a family unit and exploit our asylum laws? (13:42–13:45)
