Fmr. Acting DHS Secretary on VP Harris Border Visit: ‘Overall, Missed Opportunity’

‘She really didn’t get a sense of what was going on and able to talk to the agents there actually apprehending these folks on a nightly basis’

EXCERPT:

WOLF: “Well, I think that’s right. I would characterize Vice President Harris’ trip to El Paso as a missed opportunity on a variety of different fronts. She certainly could have visited  Fort Bliss but she also could have actually gone to the epicenter of the migrant crisis that we see today.e And that’s RGV about 100 miles away from El Paso. She could have gone to the detention facility, she could have gone to Donna -- the Donna facility down there, which is where the vast majority of these migrants are being housed and processed. She didn’t do any of that instead she went to a legal port of entry --"
DOOCY: "Right."
WOLF: "-- where we know this is not where the crisis is occurring. Folks are not coming across legally, they are coming across illegally. So she really didn’t get a sense of what was going on and able to talk to the agents there actually apprehending these folks on a nightly basis. So, overall, missed opportunity, I would say."
