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

I see ONE child in a warehouse w/ no windows. The GUARD is wearing a mask. Guessing YOUR photographer told him to pull it down for the pic. There’s a surge protector within reach of the child, and I suspect when the guard says skip around, this boy knows better than not to obey.

The border patrol is caring for children just like Jordan cared for Ohio State athletes.
