Sen. Cornyn Talks About His Border Security Amendment on Fox News 5-27

Published | Video Starts at 02:51

The problem is the federal government's got a credibility problem. We need credible steps to secure the border because we simply can't tolerate the drug cartels and other organized gang activity bringing across drugs, guns and people into the United States willy nilly.
