We are alarmed by the staggering number of migrants that have been apprehended while illegally crossing the southwest border during this first 100 days. We are extremely concerned that the President ordered a 60-day pause on the border wall construction. [That's a month overdue; hence we] insist that funds appropriated for border security be used immediately to address this crisis.
Border wall construction funds were appropriated by the Congress and should be spent as provided in law. As you can see by the unprecedented number of apprehensions reported by Customs and Border Protection, we are in a state of emergency that requires action, not delay.
