and guatemala has been the largest sending country to the u.s. border this year, almost 40% of the flow in some months. and about 80% of those arriving at the border transit in guatemala. and el salvador is about 10% of the arrivals from el salvador, a very negligible percentage are actually transiting el salvador border..s. so use a different structure and situation in terms of how we collaborate on asylum. guatemala has a functioning asylum process. they are granting asylum. it needs to be further developed. i was pleased to reference the significant investment from the department of state to support guatemala in building their asylum capacity. -- we see it at a similar but smaller scale effort by el salvador to support their own decisions to join you and high commission for refugees program, to build their own as helen commitments. we think it is important. they could apply in the future with personnel from neighboring countries, for instance. but it is to show that this is a shared responsibility regionally. that there is access to protections if yo

and it requires that bureaucrat to establish even more bureaucrats in each u.s. border patrol sector. on top of those bureaucrats, it creates even more to sit on a border oversight panel. the icing on the cake, the legislation gives the ombudsman no real authority to resolve any issues. this bill does nothing to address the root causes of the current humanitarian crisis on the southern border. in fact, i have introduced six bills to get to the root of the problem, none of them have been heard in judiciary committee. but instead their bills make up -- made up of policy provisions that cater to illegal immigrants and undermine our law enforcement at the border, thus weakening our national security. put simply, my democratic colleagues' answer to our border crisis is to create a taxpayer funded complaint box for illegal immigrants and it has no power to the ombudsman, gives no power to them. the second bill, h.r. 3525, throws each more taxpayer money at programs that will do nothing for the border security americans demand. it even jeopardizes our national security by requ
