“The administration is making Democrats look weak,” said Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar in an interview with The Associated Press. “I’ve heard, from Democrats and Republicans in my area, what the heck is going on with this administration?” https://t.co/AkWlr6jE7e — PolitiTweet.org

Harris visited the Paso del Norte Port of Entry and spoke with agents. They showed her photos of how bad the overcrowding was there and told her it began to improve with better processing in 2018.

According to the VP’s office, while inside, the VP met with 5 young girls ages 9-16, from Central America. They drew pictures for her and they told the VP what they wanted to be when they grow up. Press didn’t see this part. We’re now headed to the border. — PolitiTweet.org

Harris spoke to agents at the CBP facility about how they’ve used technology to streamline processing. Press were taken out after this and we are holding in vans.
