u.s. department of health and human services, average premiums paid by those receiving a government tax credit range from $68 to $220 per month. that's an average of $82 per month. now no, one saying that the affordable care act is perfection. even president obama has called it a work in progress. what we are saying is that it's working. the question is, how long will this ponderous silence go on? james roosevelt jr. is ceo of tufts health plan and he's also the grandson of president franklin roosevelt, who i have to say is my favorite president and not just because you're here. thank you for being here, sir. so let's talk about the particulars of the affordable care act. you have a situation where more than 8 million people have actually enrolled in the law, where medicaid enrollment is up 15%, and where 3 million people are actually paying less than $100 per month. and yet it still doesn't poll very well. why do you suppose that the affordable care act in practice and in function is being so successful but is still sort of empirically despised by not a majority but a plurality of americans?

u.s. border patrol. under law they have 72 hours to process the kids and then move them into the hands of the department of health and human services, which then puts them in temporary facilities while they try to find long-term places to house them, hopefully with family members or others in the country while they wait processing and immigration courts. kids from central america have to go through processing unlike kids from mexico who can be pushed back across the border immediately. the reason for the place where i'm standing right now in arizona is that the facilities in texas, where most of the kids are coming in, in the rio grande valley area, are so overwhelmed now. the holding facilities there that they are flying kids to tucson and bringing them here and there are probably 1,000 kids here now. we've been watching buses bring kids in and buses take kids out. they come here for a few days of processing and go out to go into the hands of health and human services. the 72 hour deadline is not being met because everything is overwhelmed but they are trying to get as close to that as they can. that's the future plan to get them

of immigrant children at the u.s. southwest border with mexico. joining him were the administrator on which officials from the office of immigration and customs enforcement and health and human services department and the executive associate director and health and human services acting assistant secretary greenberg. we are here to update you on the steps that we are taking to address the surge along the nation's southwest border focused in the rio grande sector. last year's cdp encountered over 24,000 unaccompanied children crossing the border. by may of this year, the number has already doubled to just over 47,000. this correlates with the rise of the migration principally by what we've referred to as third country nationals. those from guatemala, el salvador and honduras that represent three quarters of its population. i saw the situation vividly for myself on may 11 which happens to have been mother's day when i visited the station processing center and i approached a 10-year-old girl and i asked her where is your mother and she responded by don't have a mother i am looking for my father in the united states. i returned it the next day determined to do something about the situation. as i te

departments of health and human services, defense, justice and state and the general services of administration. secretary johnson has designated federal emergency administrator, craig fugate, to serve in this u.s. government wide effort. when they encounter a child entering the united states, they begin the interview process to determine the child's status, review of available documentation and determine if the child is accompanied by a parent and legal guardian. under the reauthorization october of 2008, an unaccompanied child may be permitted to withdraw his or her application for admission. however, this is not true for the vast majority of children in the rio grande valley because almost all of them are from honduras, el salvador. upon determining that an unaccompanied child cannot withdraw their application, they notify the office of refugee resettlement. once hhs notifies ice that a shelter bed is available pursuant to the requirements of the law, it is ice's legal responsibility to quickly and safe transport the unaccompanied child to an orr shelter facility. ice transport unaccompanied children via ground, commercial air, and charter flights. in order to speed up the safe transportatio

of u.s. government spending on homeland security is not inside the department of homeland security. a big chunk is in dod, some is in the state department, a big chunk is in health and human services and other agencies across the federal government. finally, of course, as has been mentioned by s.e.c. tash cohn and by secretary stockton is large parts of homeland security don't belong to the federal government at all. they're part of state, local, tribal, et cetera. and they never let you forget that because that's the first responder part of it, if you will. forgetting that the real first responders generally are actually members of the general public who happen to be first on the scene. so each of those requires attention to boundary issues, if you will. and is this support for resources or funding or personnel in or out of dhs as well as where inside dhs it fits. so even unity of command inside the department of homeland security is still going to leave you with a host of boundary condition issues with which you have to deal. and the qhsr, i think, has to fit inside that. one of the things we do in my program 1 we look at dhs spending and in particular we look at dhs spending on

u.s. law prohibits homeland security from immediately deporting children if they are not from canada or mexico. children are turned over to the department of health and human services very few show up, and the children often become one of millions of undocumented immigrants in the u.s. so avery, does this law have the unintended effect of encouraging immigrants to come here because a lot of the kids from central american countries are told that they do have special status and they will eventually be accepted into the u.s. system? >> maybe, maybe not, fredricka. the reality is that it is time to develop a policy that means something. the president has authority, has discretion to deal with this. but ultimately it has to be underwritten by congress. the fact is, here in washington there are 400,000 central americans living. it will be a magnet for bringing children in. we are americans. we are humanitarian people. the crisis exists not because of what's coming from the administration but the failure of congress to enact meaningful immigration policy. that's where the problem is and that's where we're stuck now. >> so richard, help us understand when we hear stories o
