YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

An extraordinary number of migrants crossed the U.S.-Mexico border into El Paso over the weekend. It's stretching an already-taxed system to new limits. Over a yearlong period, federal agents have reported a record 2.4 million encounters. Rep. Veronica Escobar, a Democrat representing Texas's 16th Congressional District, joined Amna Nawaz to discuss the situation along the southern border.
