We can treat people with dignity, but only if we have people who are serious about doing the work. Mr. Johnson, you have this question as well. Well, As chairman of Homeland Security Government Affairs Committee, I held probably three dozen hearings on some aspects of our open border and our broken immigration system. I worked with Senator Kyrsten Sinema, Democrat Senator Kyrsten Sinema with dhs. We developed something called Operation Safe Return that actually morphed into Return to Mexico, which pretty well solved the problem of unaccompanied children and families abusing our asylum laws.
