Sen. Johnson's HSGAC Opening Statement

Published | Video Starts at 00:31

I decided to hold this hearing actually, before the election as we were monitoring the renewed crisis. I don't think the crisis ever went away, but certainly we haven't been seeing the publicity about The crisis [of unaccompanied children coming in from Central America] is pretty much at 2014 levels, just not being publicized. But you, of course, are having to deal with it. So I think we want to really kind of highlight that. (00:31–00:45)
