When we were at the Yuma border a year ago we talked to a group of rank and file Border Patrol agents and one thing I said is, look, we are the Congress. We cannot enforce the laws. We write laws so what laws do you need us to write?
The Chief of the Border Patrol told us at Eagle Pass that he says, I am standing in front of an open fire hydrant with a bucket. I do not need more buckets. I need somebody to shut off the fire hydrant.
What I'm hearing back is you don't do anything. You shrug your shoulders and then send another batch of kids out to another group of sponsors' homes.
In this country, we don't have Americans--or old Americans or new Americans; we just have my fellow Americans.
