I hope that picture alone will catalyze this Congress, this Senate, this committee to do something. I called up Senator Peters earlier this morning. I said I had half a mind of canceling this hearing and instead just have a discussion between what I believe are U.S. senators of good faith that have sat through 30 more hearings of this problem on the border and start coming to some conclusions. What can we agree on to actually start improving the situation? (00:44–01:07)
CLAIM
