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.
The question is, how many children have been placed with known MS-13 gang members? We know of one. What do you know?
