Well, as the gentleman knows, as we sit here in the people's House, I just got an update from the border showing the Border Patrol is building a new soft-sided tent compound in Eagle Pass, Texas. Another picture of it shows a big tent with chain-link fences up-- remember the kids in cages?--chain-link fences up. And it says it is roughly 215,000 square feet, which is almost five acres. So to the gentleman's point, why would they be doing that? Why would Secretary Mayorkas be ordering Border Patrol to build a five-acre tent facility in Eagle Pass, Texas?
