Reestablish our integrity. I think we can do that, and i think we can salvage a system which does provide good care, and we can make that system provide timely access. I am stunned that you would call this, with all the information thats come out, and i dont think were at the bottom of all this yet, that you would call this a good system.

In addition to a robust and Effective Public Service campaign, we should also engage with the government of mexico to step up their efforts to secure their southern border.
