Border Hearing with GOP House Reps

Republican members of the House Committee on Homeland Security held a hearing on the border crisis on Wednesday.

The GOP members decided to hold the second border security-related congressional hearing in McAllen, Texas. The decision was made in order to hear directly from border patrol officials and families that have been impacted by the border crisis.

Representative Mark Green (R-Tenn.) the chair of the committee, blamed the current administration for violating laws that were written by Congress and signed by former President Donald Trump.

“It’s clear to me this secretary of DHS wants nothing more than to flood the country with people,” Green said. “The problem with that is, it’s empowered the narco-human trafficking, terrorist cartels.”

United States Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz testified before the committee early on Wednesday, refuting much of what Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has stated. (Excerpt from One America News.)
