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
