Speaker. yesterday at a Judiciary Committee hearing. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson didnt know who Kate Steinle was. I hope he sure remembers his own Border Patrol agent Javier Vega. Jr.. a father. husband. and south Texan. Both of these fine Americans were gunned down by illegal aliens who had been deported multiple times. but were back in our country. Mr. Johnson couldnt tell me what percentage of the border was secure. Last month I visited the border and talked to some hardworking Border Patrol agents who are very frustrated. They keep apprehending the same people again and again. They are frustrated with our socalled catchandrelease program. where human smugglers called coyotes and drug smugglers with small loads or less than four or five people are simply let go.
Identified stereotypes
Illegal aliens are portrayed as violent criminals.
