I said it six months ago, and I’ll say it again: We know this is a crisis. We must do something about it. It's time to deliver the emergency supplemental funding @POTUS requested. https://t.co/FjD7Dxx2md — PolitiTweet.org

Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito

We do not have a choice but to get this emergency supplemental done. It’s the only choice we have from a humanitarian perspective, and it’s the only choice we have from a border security perspective. https://t.co/qduxQWSTHL — PolitiTweet.org

But they have stepped up to address a national need. And it is past time we stepped up for them and these families and children in need. — PolitiTweet.org

Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito

The men and women of @DHSgov who work our border and are trying to process this influx of people are doing tremendous work. It is stressful, it is hard, and in many cases it is not the mission they signed up for when they joined the Department of Homeland Security. — PolitiTweet.org

Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito

It was 103 degrees this past weekend in McAllen, Texas, which is the epicenter of this crisis. And it is getting hotter. I hate to think what the situation will look like this summer if we fail to act. — PolitiTweet.org

Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito

If we fail, @DHSgov will be faced with a choice: it will either have to stop its efforts to improve these brutal conditions on our border or it will have to raid other agencies vital to our national security. — PolitiTweet.org

Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito

As Chair of the Approps Cmte. Subcommittee on Homeland Security, I will repeat again: we do not have a choice but to get this supplemental done. It’s the only choice we have from a humanitarian perspective. It’s the only choice we have from a border security perspective. — PolitiTweet.org

Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito

BUT there is not much that can be done to improve the situation UNLESS we provide the resources to deal with this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito

People are upset about seeing pictures of people sleeping on concrete floors under mylar blankets. I’ve been to these facilities, and, yes, it will absolutely break your heart to see it. — PolitiTweet.org

Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito

Today we have significantly more people crossing our southern border – and because of who they are travelling with and where they are travelling from – each of those people causes significantly more strain on our system. — PolitiTweet.org

Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito

Unlike folks from Mexico, these migrants cannot just be sent back home under U.S. law. They remain in the U.S., often for months or even years, as their cases work their way through the system. — PolitiTweet.org

Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito

Today, we are seeing families – not just adults. Last month, nearly 64% of those who crossed our border illegally did so as members of a family unit, coming namely from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. — PolitiTweet.org

Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito

Twenty years ago, the vast majority of those crossing our border illegally were adult men from Mexico. In fact, in FY 2000, 98% of those caught at our border were Mexican. Under U.S. law, folks from Mexico can be immediately returned home by our Border Patrol. — PolitiTweet.org

Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito

In the month of May alone, @CBP apprehended a population that is larger than the populations of Charleston, Huntington, and Morgantown – COMBINED. — PolitiTweet.org

Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito

For months, administration officials have been telling us the humanitarian & security crisis at the border is at a breaking point. It’s only getting worse. Enough is enough. I’ll be speaking on @SenateFloor around 5:45 about what needs to be done. WATCH: https://t.co/ndUtDwa41q https://t.co/5fQdsFr8Gs — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to have the support of @AjitPaiFCC for my efforts to improve broadband mapping. He’s been a great partner in rural broadband deployment, and he recognizes the challenges states like West Virginia face. #CapitoConnect https://t.co/PwUfUxTDhc — PolitiTweet.org

Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito

Good news for southern West Virginia! https://t.co/6eia3tyrdB — PolitiTweet.org

Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito

Excited to ask @AjitPaiFCC about how we can improve broadband maps and why it’s critical these maps be accurate as we work to close the digital divide. Tune in to @SenateCommerce here at 10 a.m.: https://t.co/sP5UeH4qO2 #CapitoConnect https://t.co/x8Ys9agas1 — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to work w/ @SenatorDurbin, @SenDuckworth, & @lisamurkowski to increase support for children exposed to traumas. By expanding trauma-informed workforce & increasing resources for our communities, we’re helping vulnerable kids pursue healthy futures. https://t.co/F5lgMGiHGo — PolitiTweet.org

Great roundtable discussion w/ @IvankaTrump, @SenatorShaheen, & @SenatorRisch discussing the administration’s strategy on women, peace, & security. Through our legislation, we’re working to empower women to become agents of change in prevention & resolution of global conflict. https://t.co/RLGMUnngN7 — PolitiTweet.org
