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

Or we could release the non-criminals (w/o separating the children) until their court date & let them or their own families provide food, shelter & medical treatment instead of us, freeing up money for more judges to hear their cases properly.

Actually, the truly underlying problems would relate to why people have such a desperate need to leave their homes and come here.
