“We had another week go by, and I didn't see the Vice President in charge of the Mexican border policy for this administration down there, so I felt I should go down and look around in the Yuma sector and report back to her or anybody in the majority party who wants to hear. These are the things that I don't think we have seen in the papers. I could talk for hours. One thing, a large number of the people crossing the border in the Yuma sector are throwing away their IDs on the ground. And if you want, you can just stand there along the paths and see all the IDs that are just lying there. You have to ask yourself, why, if I am an immigrant, am I throwing away my ID before I check in with Border Patrol? I must be hiding something. It means that they can't do a background check if I was in the United States in the past, or, for that matter, there is going to be no record of when such and such a person left Colombia and comes into the United States. We should require an ID to come here. We should no longer let people throw them out. Secondly, I, in the past, am under the impression that people can test positive for COVID, check into a hotel and just leave and come into the country. I now know they do not require tests. These are two more things I learned at the border. I invite the Vice President to go down there. ____________________”
