The Department of Homeland Security plays a critical role in fulfilling this responsibility every day.
It will enable our Border Patrol agents to do a better job when we reduce the number of people trying to sneak into the country.
See, I’m from Texas; I believe that Texans can manage the environment in Texas plenty fine.
I fully understand it's going to take time to recruit and train these Border Patrol.
