Republicancontrolled House. the doubledigit years. and now look up and say we have a problem where we have to send the National Guardthe National Guard to the border? Well. I guess it would be easy if Democrats were in control anytime during that time. because you can point at the Democrats and say that is the reason why we have to send the National Guard. because it has been mismanagement of the government and we have not adhered to the number of recommendations and reports that have been coming out over the years saying that we have to increase the number of border patrol agents and because of the lack of oversight and the lack of followthrough and executing any of that we have found wasteful spending from the Department of Homeland Security. need it be secure borders or whatever the initiatives were dealing with cameras and sensors and all. We were so busy giving out these contracts to the special interests that no one bothered to hold the light of accountability over these contracts. and so we find ourselves in these quick fix. make money for folks. that can influence this process over what should happen in a functional government. Let me get that Gingrich poster if I can.
