The idea that “loopholes” are driving families to leave their language, family & homeland is absurd and
@SecNielsen
would know this if she’d bother to study the issue. Turning a blind eye to the real causes of migration only makes things worse. So does cruelty. #NielsenResign

.@POTUS recognized that the situation at our southern border is a true emergency—now we’re engaged in a full-fledged emergency response. @POTUS and I call on Congress to do the same: treat this like the crisis it is & act with urgency to fix the legal loopholes causing the chaos.

My colleagues and I toured the El Paso CBP facilities yesterday. What have you done with the millions of dollars in resources Congress appropriated to you two months ago? There was no sign of any of the tools that you’ve been given by Congress. None.

Most are coming for economic reasons and using/abusing babies and children for fraudulent asylum claims. Poverty and violence occur every day in the US, yet our own citizens can't claim asylum in a more affluent area

Trump & his administration are attempting to manufacture a border crisis and demonize migrants fleeing violence & poverty. America use to be a safe haven-now we are being led by a racist monster that lost the popular vote and rigged the electoral college with the help of Russia
