Goodlatte: This Is Not Just About a Wall But It’s Part of Solving the Problem

‘This is not just about a wall, but a wall is a component of solving this problem’

EXCERPT:

GOODLATTE: "Well, I think you have to address this both from -- the president issued two executive orders this week, right? One of them does crack down on that interior enforcement problem that you just cited, and the other addresses the border, and not just from the standpoint of building the wall. It also addresses it from the catch and release problem. The Obama administration, I've been down to the border and stood there with border patrol officers who are really excited about now having the opportunity to actually enforce the law. People, they didn't try to evade them. They came right up to them and turned themselves in, knowing that they were going to be released by the last administration into the interior of the country, told to return for a hearing someday. Many of them never returned. So this is not just about a wall, but a wall is a component of solving this problem."
