Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) has released a powerful video of his recent trip to the Rio Grande Valley sector of the border, where he interviewed border patrol officials, saw the difference between areas that have a border fence and those that don’t, and came away completely convinced of the need for a physical barrier and strengthened resources at the border. He said, “The problem at our border is very real. Our border agents are forced to confront massive groups of migrants daily without the necessary resources to enforce our laws. We must give them the additional personnel, technology and barriers that allow them to properly do their jobs. Enough is enough, it’s time for an honest discussion about border security.”
The video begins by noting that the Rio Grande Valley is divided into two parts: east and west. In the west, as many as 1,000 immigrants can illegally cross into McAllen every day. But in the east, as Brownsville, there are hardly any illegal crossings. The video asks, “The terrain is similar. Both areas are a mix of rural and urban. So why the difference?”
