customs and border protection said. officials believe the child was from india trained across from mexico into the united states with a group from that country according to the agency. they dropped the group near the mexican border where they were told to cross into arizona alone the agency said they searched north of the border and the remote terrain and eventually found the little girl's body after a few hours. the remote area where she was found in the rugged desert wilderness with few resources to area has a high temperature around 108 degrees wednesday. they continued to search for the other people that have been traveling with her. they sent out aircraft and helicopters to search the area and i am not going to read the rest of it because i only have three minutes and 40 seconds left, but the point of reading g this is that we have a crisis at the border. we have had a crisis of the border. i live in arizona and i've been to the border. and so, it wasn't that long ago that speaker pelosi and senator schumer said thi

more than 144,000 migrants were encountered by customs and border protection in the may time frame at the border. more than a billion dollars last month alone potentially flowing to criminal cartels. i am encouraged by the dod presence at the border. bolster customs and border efforts and put agents to the line. such deployment is not a new concept. cbp and national guard have a long-standing working relationship on the counter drug taskforces and past operational deployments to the border under president obama's administration and president george w. bush. national guard personnel are assisting with logistic support, operating detection systems, providing mobile communications, august meanting border related intelligence efforts and many other functions. response to 8,000 person caravan approaching the border in november, 2018, president trump sent troops from the army core of engineers, military police, command and control teams, aviation, engineering, medical, and pilots to fly helicopters to drop border patrol agents in areas where border breaches had occurred. the army corp has p

what do you know about customs and border protection's plan to, once they do get supplemental funding, how do they go about spending it? rep. rogers: i have not heard the concern you just described. the money in the supplemental bills i have been introduced to, .eek do say where it goes . i assure you that once by bill is adopted, we will make sure the money is pushed out. it will not be staying in washington. let me switch to some 2020 politics, if i could. this week, judge roy moore, who lost the senate race in alabama two years ago, announced he would be giving it another shot and running for the senate in 2020. he obviously has come under enormous fire for a sexual misconduct controversy and scandal. mitch mcconnell and the president himself have said that ,f judge moore is the nominee he could cost republicans that seat in a very red state, your state, alabama, once again, and hand that seat to democrats for another six years. do you share the same concerns about judge moore, and that he would hand democrats that seat? rep. rogers: it is possible. i think it is not likely. that w

we are already shifting people away from other dhs agencies to help the customs and border protection personnel do their jobs, and ice is already understaffed, so my concern is where they come from. i like what he is talking about, because i have called for years for these folks that we know are here illegally that overstayed their visas, and we know where they are, and nobody has been removing them. i like that idea. i just don't know where the personnel to do it would come from. scott: switching gears, you have been a proponent of first responders in rural parts of america. last week we saw jon stewart, the tv host, come to capitol hill and plead with members of congress, implore them and shame them to try to get congress to act on reauthorizing the 9/11 fund for first responders who served during that time and responded to that emergency. mitch mcconnell has indicated there was nothing to worry about, but obviously there is urgency with money running out by the end of the year. do you believe this fund should be reauthorized, and do you see this happening by the end of the year dea

understand things have gotten a little bit better since we've surged additional customs and border protection officials to those ports but what that means is we're taking them from other places around the country and we're hearing from our friends from the northern borders and airports and other places around the country they're experiencing delays and problems as a result of this reallocation of resources. i remember there was one time when i had this conversation with president trump who said we're going to shut down the border and i called the president and i said, mr. president, that's going to have a lot of unintended consequences and please let us come back to you with some more targeted ways to try to get people's attention. of course the most important thing that could be done is congress could actually do its job and act. and indeed i reached out to my friend and frequent partner on trade and border issues, henry quaar. he's a reasonable, rational, good, patriotic american and a great tex an. loopholes that are being exploited now by the human smugglers to move people into the united

other provisions that i think are just commonsense improvements like additional customs and border protection personnel and l training for c.v.p. and i.c.e. employees who work with children. one last point on the, what's happening at the border and its impact on the economy and trade. in laredo, texas, alone, i think it just surpassed los angeles as the largest port of entry into the united states. there are between 14,000 and 16,000 trucks a day that traverse the u.s.-mexico border. and a lot of that is part of the manufacturing, the manufacturing process which happens on both sides of the border. but when these trucks can't make their way across the border on a timely basis, then that means the parts -- the manufacturing process fall apart and -- in the border economies. i would argue the larger economy in the united states is threatened when just in time inventory control no longer works. so if you're living in detroit, michigan, and you're expecting the delivery of a part coming from mexico will make its way to michigan in time to build a car, you can't do it, and eventually this is going

it comes as the acting head of the customs and border protection agency announced his resignation — withoutg a reason. the number of migrants apprehended at the us border surged in may to the highest level since 2006. the bbc‘s north america editorjon sopel has the latest. it is a non—descript government building in clint, texas, but beyond the unwelcoming walls, migrant children who have been separated from their parents have been sleeping on the floor without enough food to eat, according to lawyers who visited the facility. around 300 of the children have been moved, though some have been returned. the case has caused indignation. this was the scene in court as an incredulous judge questioned a government lawyer. if you don't have a toothbrush, if you don't have soap, if you don't have a blanket, it's not safe and sanitary. wouldn't everybody agree with that? well, i think it's... i think those are — there's fair reason to find that those things may be part of safe and sanitary. not "may be" — are. chanting: let the children go now! when the child separation policy came to light a year a
