if you look at the border patrol, those are jail cells. i inspected them personally. it s a jail cell. that facility can only process 25 per eight-hour shift, and if you look at the numbers we re talking about, i think immigrants would have been queued up in a facility that does not have the ability or the capacity to hold them long term, and that s just not right either. congressman, your response to that? the mayor says, look, our facilities can t handle this, and i take it that the texas facilities are overflowing, some of these children are in jail cells. well, yes. i ve been to those detention spaces many a times. they re supposed to be only for a small number of individuals. and as my pictures have shown, that they re just being overwhelmed. they re processing them as quickly as possible, as you know, under the law.
and murietta mayor alan long. first, congressman, your office was kind enough to send us one of the pictures of the processing centers you visited. describe the situation to me now, both in terms of the numbers of children coming across on a daily basis, where are they? who is taking care of them? first of all, just this month of may, we had on the texas border, border patrol detained 38,000 individuals, 9,700 of them were killed coming in with no parents. you can see that the border patrol is having a challenging time. there s just not enough facilities that can hold that many individuals, as those pictures have shown. the other thing is not enough detention spaces. so, therefore, adults are being held and then there s about 20, 25 flights a week that will send

the lawyers say in order to have standing to sue the president you have to show some harm to yourself. on the other side republicans are saying look, as you read, the president s violating the law, he s not enforcing the law this goes against his pledge and oath of office. will you see in the arguments and the floor debate that proceeds this vote on whether to authorize the house to sue the president quite a day, maybe a couple of days fending on what the rule is, but it has been hotly debated in washington and will continue to be i think even after that vote. now on the show today you re also going to be talking with the mayor of murrieta, california, the city that s become such a flash point in this immigration debate. right. i know the folks certainly the mayor alan long, said he thinks his city has been portrayed
