I thank Senator MIKULSKI. my colleague from Maryland. for her leadership as chair of the Appropriations Committee and bringing forward a supplemental appropriation that deals with the humanitarian crisis on our border. We all know about the unaccompanied children on our border. In fiscal year 2014 it will equal 60.000. That is an extraordinary number. But let me make it clear. It is not because of border security issues that we have this problem. When these children approach our border they say: We are here. They are not trying to sneak into the United States. They are trying to get to our country and then they turn themselves in.
