George R. Nethercutt, Jr.: “The loss of 6 agents will have an impact not just in border monitoring, but in criminal detention.”

I hope the death of Trooper Saunders will be met with action and efforts to secure our borders and protect our law enforcement services.

It is clear that this case shows how bureaucratic mistakes aren't just bureaucratic when crimes are committed and lives are lost.

I am concerned that detailing of agents to the southern border will result in more drugs coming across our northern border.

This Congress has made great strides to provide more resources for law enforcement departments, but we should do more.
