This week we inspected conditions at the Rio Grande Valley border sector. It’s the busiest sector for unauthorized entry into our country. Here’s what we saw (THREAD):
We received a briefing from @CBPRGV Chief Rodolfo Karisch.
He gave us an update on the current status of the humanitarian crisis at the southern border.
Border Patrol agents are giving it their all, but until we fix the underlying causes, the crisis will continue.pic.twitter.com/cRHxvm1lk2
Border Patrol agents showed us the Rio Grande Valley Central Processing Center. This facility opened in 2014 under President Obama. At the time, it was hailed as the "gold standard" of border facilities.pic.twitter.com/i3uFQpbpAQ
Agents thanked us for passing the border supplemental package. It gave them resources to immediately purchase additional necessary supplies to help with the humanitarian crisis. But more needs to be done.pic.twitter.com/hEfmnj1s2a
Border Patrol told us that the crisis requires a “whole of government approach.” The Coast Guard is volunteering to help. This is who Democrats are attacking when they claim that there's an "empathy deficit." Everyone is doing their level best to care for children.pic.twitter.com/T391JmYyXm
The supplemental package allowed Border Patrol to increase the capacity of the Donna Holding Facility. But expanding space is not enough. We have to address the underlying problems: -More ICE beds -Fix Flores decision -Reform asylum laws -Build the Wallpic.twitter.com/29M5jsg1Y6
Border Patrol took us to the border itself, including a boat patrol of the Rio Grande River. We saw Mexican government authorities patrolling. Border Patrol told us this was a direct result of the Trump Administration’s efforts to work with Mexico.pic.twitter.com/OlLqDU5kZW
Thanks to the hard working men and women of Border Patrol and everyone else giving it their all to deal with the crisis. We stand with you in fighting to end the unprecedented humanitarian crisis and secure our southern border.pic.twitter.com/NuMV1X9afL
