The time has come to build a policy wall, alongside the physical wall, to force those seeking to immigrate to the United States to do it the right way, the legal way.

I suggest that true border security is much more than that.

I along with Chairman Goodlatte and Chairwoman McSally have proposed a robust border security and immigration enforcement bill.

Building a physical wall along key parts of the Southwest Border is absolutely necessary.

The first is to raise the standard of the initial asylum interview that happens at the border which is so low that nearly everybody can make it through.

The subcommittee is meeting today to examine policies that impact the Department's ability to secure the border.

You personally, when you go back to that country, not that your country is in poverty, not that your country has violence in general...

The second is to hold individuals as long as it takes for them to have due process in order to process their claim.

There is a lot of violence around the world. There is a lot of poverty around the world.

The present process at the border is neither expeditious nor credible.

The time has come to build a policy wall alongside a physical wall to force those seeking to immigrate in the United States to do it the right way, the legal way.
