Save money by paying for fewer Police Officers regardless of the local agency in response for stationed officer at checkpoints. A consistent presence at these checkpoints is critical. I look forward to a bright discussion regarding security today and in the future. I firmly believe that we should not adjourn without at least continuing to address this issue.

This is in the law that congress created. There are several ways to comply with the law and if you are the victim of trafficking in the antislavery law that we passed unanimously for this committee you are eligible as a victim of trafficking. The United States requested you are eligible for a new visa and if you are a child that has been abandoned then you have no one here you can be eligible for a special immigrant juvenile visa that was created because we had kids. This goes back to the 70s. You have a child that appeared five years old and no parents. They are in foster care but what is their status. Extraordinary delays because we do not have enough personnel, but we do not have enough Immigration Law judges to actually and lawyers to actually adjudicate these matters. Are you able to comment on that . That is our experience. It would like to see those cycle faster which is part of the work were done with in the unified command group. One final question.
