Chairman Johnson's remarks at HSGAC hearing: "Threats to the Homeland"

Published | Video Starts at 22:12

We're compassionate, we want to help, and that'd be great. I'm not sure how much we can do, but we can do things here. And so Let's make sure we're addressing all those incentives within our law, within our adjudication process that are incentivizing people to come into this country and end those incentives. I don't. I don't disagree with what you're saying, but I do believe, having spent my 22 months as Secretary of Homeland Security intensely focused on this problem, that a large part of the solution is addressing the conditions in Central America.
