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. This 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.
