U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), chair of the Senate Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, today spoke on the Senate floor to highlight the increasing need for funding to better secure the U.S.-Mexico border. After demonstrating how the situation at the border is escalating, she called for a bipartisan solution that will provide the Department of Homeland Security and law enforcement personnel the resources necessary to strengthen border security and keep Americans safe.\nThis past summer, I traveled for several days to the southwest border both in California and in Texas. I witnessed the needs that we have there firsthand. I saw the open pathways across our border and into our communities. I saw the gaps in our border security. I also saw communities that have become safer because we have provided border security, Senator Capito said. I urge my colleagues here in the Senate to take a long, hard look at the undisputable facts that demonstrate the crisis on the border is escalating. Our law enforcement personnel have provided us with a plan to work towards improving and solving that problem. Lets work together and get this done. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFor a video of Senator Capitos remarks, click here or on the image above.\nFor photos and additional information on Senator Capitos recent trip to the Pacific coast and the U.S.-Mexico border to learn more about border security efforts, click here.\r\n\r\n# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.capito.senate.gov/news/press-releases/video-capito-stresses-importance-of-delivering-needed-border-security-resources"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5886025503277779, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
