It says, "Representative Bridenstine lamented 'We need to secure the border. The law requires a 100% control over the southern border. The Government Accountability Office said we only have 44% control over the southern border.' Rep. Bridenstine’s comment is especially misleading because the children are not passing through an insecure border undetected; they are detained immediately by authorities. If the border wasn’t secure, we wouldn’t have thousands of children in custody."

"The US-Mexico border is one of the longest in the world, and much of it is uninhabitable desert. The cost in time, money and manpower it would take to truly ‘secure’ or seal this border with staff or a physical barrier would be astronomical – $28 billion a year at least according to the Department of Justice. This is much, much more than the cost to care for the children in our custody and reunite them with their families."
