Tom McClintock: “The President is responsible for faithfully executing the laws.”

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?

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.

If a little waif showed up on your doorstep the first thing you are going to do is get that little child back to its family and its home.

When the history of this administration is written, I would not want to be you looking back on what historians say about your tenure.
