A real, serious and sustained crisis at our borders. We have tens of thousands of illegal aliens arriving at our doorstep every month. We have drugs, criminals and violence spilling into our country every week and we have smugglers and traffickers profiting from human misery every single day By exploiting people who are seeking a better life, deceiving them about our laws, and fueling everything from sexual slavery, to child exploitation, to the smuggling of illicit goods. Make no mistake, this chain of human misery is getting worse. The Secretary has said the administration had no policy, To separate children from their parents. But internal memoranda makes clear she was aware the administration's policy would require families to be separated. No amount of verbal gymnastics will change that she knew the Trump administration was implementing a policy to separate families at the border. To make matters worse the administration bungled implementation of a cruel plan losing track of children. And even deporting parents to Central America without their children. Today the Secretary can choose whether to be complicit in this administration's misinformation campaign. Or she can correct the record and start a serious discussion about the way forward on border security. For the sake of our country, I urge her to choose the latter. My conversations of course with the President, generally speaking, are protected under privilege. But what I would say is His explanation in general in public has been that he hoped Congress would act, that it didn't have to come to issuing emergency declaration if Congress had met his request to fund the resources that CBP has requested ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"House Panel Grills Homeland Security Chief Kirstjen Nielsen on Border Security","description":"A House panel is grilling Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen for the first time since Democrats took control of the chamber.
