Thats another 9 million people in two years. i mean, theyve already let 5.04 million encounters and 1.4 million got-aways as theyve tried to manage border security and not secure our border. so, no, ooim sorry, i zdisagre with the secretary. >> you helped lead the passage of a house gop border security bill this week. one of the two republicans who voted "no" was john duarte of california. i want to read what he said. he said, quote, this crisis demands a solution that will deliver real results,...
