Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) had an experience that “will break your heart” while visiting the U.S.-Mexico border amid the growing crisis.
Collins met with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in El Paso, Texas, earlier this week “to see firsthand the crisis at our southern border.”
The Republican congressman’s border visit comes at a time that border officials hit a record roundup in apprehensions of illegal immigrants, reaching 1,036 as of early Wednesday.
