Chairman Johnson discusses border crisis at 6/26 hearing

So, again, one thing that we're going to try and do, and Santa Peters has been great working with me on this, but Hopefully we can sign a letter in support of Operation Safe Return, a pilot program, very small in scope, but a program that is designed to rapidly and more accurately determine those families that clearly don't have a valid asylum claim and safely return them to their home country. As a message to people in Central America, don't indebt yourself to these human traffickers, don't mortgage your home, don't pay them a year's worth of salary, because on a bipartisan basis, we're not going to let the human traffickers exploit our broken system. (11:57–12:21)
