The U.S.-Mexico Border Is Safe

Reps. Will Hurd (R-TX) and Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) state the communities on the U.S.-Mexico border, specifically in Texas, are safe. Rep. Hurd says the images you see in movies like Sicario are not the reality and Rep. O’Rourke says apprehensions are running extremely low, there are more border patrol agents than 10 years ago, and budgets have never been bigger for border security.

WILL HURD: These are safe communities. Laredo is safe. El Paso is safe. Juarez is not the murder capital of the world. There are more homicides in Baltimore, Chicago, New Orleans than that.

BETO O'ROURKE: The border has never been more secure in the history of the United States-Mexico border.
