Greg Casar questions border patrol agents

Published | Video Starts at 01:22

I was just in the El Paso sector last week with Border Patrol and they confirmed this number because people driving narcotics across the border are citizens with passports who can get past the checkpoints. So The people trafficking fentanyl on the border are US Citizens. The people suffering and dying from overdoses in our communities are US Citizens. So why on earth are we talking about immigrants today? (01:22–01:26)
