Chairman Johnson discusses border crisis at 6/26 hearing

Published | Video Starts at 07:53

If we're to maintain May's rate, that number would exceed $800,000 by the end of fiscal year. In just four more months now, I think we've seen a slight decline based on the weekly numbers. It's getting hot. Mexico seems to be doing more. So hopefully we won't hit that 800,000 number. But I don't see how anybody can take a look at this and not realize this is a huge problem that must be addressed and we're simply not addressing it, not effectively. (07:53–07:56)
