John Katko and Henry Cuellar introduced a bill that would demand that the Department of Homeland Security create a plan to deal with surges of illegal immigrants coming across the U.S. southern border.
The "Border Surge Response and Resilience Act" would also create an "Irregular migration surge border response fund."
Both lawmakers seemed hopeful that new legislation, if passed, would give a big boost to the Border Patrol, which is currently being stretched to the limits.
In a statement, Katko said, "After hearing firsthand from border patrol agents, it's clear they need interagency backup and accountability across the federal government to appropriately handle border surges."
In a video released on Wednesday by Customs and Border Protection, two toddlers, aged three and five, are dropped over a 14-foot high barrier by human smugglers.
Sen. Mike Braun talked about a meeting between Border Agents and human smugglers across the Rio Grande from each other.
The smugglers yelled and heckled the agents in Spanish, saying that no matter what they did, they would continue to cross the border.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
