last month laying out specific actions he should take to address the crisis, including sending in the national guard. the national guard is uniquely qualified to address these types of humanitarian crises. and utilizing their expertise would free up border agents to focus on their job of securing the border. now the president said yesterday he would consider doing that, only if he gets more money with no strings attached. in other words, he won t do it for the kids. it s all about politics. the president assured the american people the border was secure but clearly it is not. chairman rogers and the members of our working group led by kay, are reviewing the administration s request. i can tell you this, though, we re not giving the president a blank check. beyond that we ll wait further discussions with our members before we make any final decisions.
