If we had a secure border, at least we would have the knowledge and
the situational awareness to know where these people are so that they
don't languish somewhere in the middle of nowhere after they cross the
border or after they have paid somebody $1,000, $5,000, or $10,000, in
some cases, to carry them across the border. Then, they leave them. They take them across the border and then tell them that Houston is
just a few miles away. Well, Houston is an hour-and-a-half plane ride
away from where they cross the border. So we need border security for the protection of people who are
making the poor decision to come across. If we have a secure border, it
is much less likely that any of them will ever attempt to do it, except
for the legal ones. Then there is the other thing that is happening on
the other side of the border.
