REPRESENTATIVE-ELECT DAN CRENSHAW (R-TX-2): What they're using them for is logistical support. They're not there as combat troops stopping people from crossing the border.
Q: They're not actually at the border, right?
CRENSHAW: What's actually happening is they're reinforcing the law enforcement that is there to do their job. The question I always have the Democrats is, do we agree that our borders should be secure, yes or no? I understand you don't like the wall. But can we agree that the border should be secured? And if you have other ideas to secure that border, and especially in Texas we are willing to listen because we have a river along the border. We can't always put a wall there. We get that. We've got other options, as well. So will you work with us?
