thank you for the opportunity for having me on. first and foremost, john, no one who is more interested in a secure dignified border than those of us who actually live there. so this trip was important to me, it was important to my community, the federal workforce, ngos, local governments, etc. we never would conspire to paint a different picture. it s not in our best interest. so from the beginning we, when i spoke with the white house we planned a trip to the migrant processing facility. as anyone who has worked on the border for any time knows, flows change. so just the week before when the president s advanced team was there, the processing facility had a lot of people. the flows changed, they moved from el paso to eagle pass, in fact yesterday the bipartisan senate co-del that visited el
