This year more than 62.000 unaccompanied children have arrived in our country. and the Department of Homeland Security is preparing for as many as 90.000 such children to arrive in the country by the end of this year. The numbers are so great and so unprecedented that our Federal agencies understandably are having difficulty carrying out the procedures and timelines in place. I have sent members of my staff in California to every Office and Refugee Services shelter in the State. and they have sent me photos and their impressions. I wish to take a moment to thank all our people. whether it is Border Patrol or ICE of Homeland Security or anybody elsesuch as Health and Human Servicesfor the excellent job they are doing. I saw 8 to 10 facilities through pictures and reports. where children were in bright rooms. had beds with covers. and a day program. So. every effort has been made.
