when we were down there at eagle pass, at the del rio sector, we went through one of these processing centers and what we saw down there was heartbreaking. it was infuriating. but you see these small children, they're unaccompanied minors. some of them, of course, aren't even -- they can't even speak the language, obviously. they have interpreters there. but they don't even know who they are. these are young children. they don't know what their full names are, where they hail from, who their parents are. they sent them there and they asked some preliminary questions and if the children don't know it, they literally take a sticker and they put it on the chest of the little child that says, jane doe or john doe. what happens to them after that? border patrol says, gosh, we don't know. our job is just to process them here. well, they're released, presumably, into the hands of n.g.o.'s who are being refunded by the way by american taxpayers who do something with the children and then they just disappear. we know 80,000 of them are missing. we toapt know where they are -- we don't know whe
