This Representative who has lots of experience with the border issue, what he says is well said, it’s emotional but well said.
Cartels know about the immigration loopholes and are exploiting it pretending to be a family to smuggle people in. Exploiting catch and release that was under the previous administrations, that Obama failed to close. Cartels are using this to bring cheap labor workers to the U.S. to work them like slaves. Republican business owners say tighten borders while exploiting illegals for cheap labor. They are trying to close these loop holes so that cartels won’t abuse this and to protect people but they call those people racist for trying to restrict immigration access. And they write this off as not common. And they refuse to tighten the boarder to stop these things so that illegals won’t be exploited because of political party bickering.

These facilities lack resources and staff. The Agents are overwhelmed and exhausted. Exhausted working in the field over 100 degrees, exhausted working 10 hr shifts processing hundreds of illegals, exhausted that countless of mothers and fathers saying their child is sick and needs attention,
Working in a overcrowded facility that can hold only 300 detainees but is now holding 1,200, that came there because of immigration loopholes that brought them there in the first place,
Obama had 760 million dollars for Ice to deal with migrants, but they can’t even get 4.5 billion for Trump without controversy because Democrats and Ocasio Cortez keep blocking him. They don’t trust him they say, so they rather not even have any attempt to fund it at all because they don’t trust him. Then they say money is not the issue, workers and Trump are just horrible people and child murderers.
Workers are seeing horrible things of decomposing bodies and people left behind by cartels because of an injury, the workers should go home and unwind to relax after seeing these things, they are doing their best with the limited resources they have. But instead they get shitted on by Media and by politicians and social media calling them shitty people, a murderer of kids, of running concentration camps and gas chambers. While they blocking funding for migrants and then blaming them for the horrible underfunded conditions and refusing to tighten immigration loopholes. They stand near chain linked fences taking pictures, making up hyperbole about these facilites, just to get clicks, twitter followers and political support.
Imagine how a worker would feel after going through all this trying their best with the limited stuff they have then gets constantly shitted on.
