Now. with reference to the second part of the question. the President acted. It is the President who brought the Central American presidents here and said: You have to work with us to stop your young children from coming to our country and you have to create better conditions in your country. and we want to work with you to do that. We want to work with Mexico to ensure that what they call the Beastthe train of deathultimately Mexican authorities interceded to stop immigrants from getting on that train to the United States. It is the President who ultimately took the resources that existed in the Department of Homeland Security and reauthorized them to send them to the border and deal with the challenge. All of that. among other efforts. ultimately has found us with a dramatic reduction. So I understand the politics of this. I appreciate everybody in this Chamber has the right to pursue that. But the bottom line is the President acted and the reality is we have dramatically reduced it. and the core challenge here is to have comprehensive immigration reform. Mr. President.
