fiorina was all over the map with this issue. she was subscribing to racist overtones about controlling our border. the last job i had in the army national guard in california was the deputy in j-1. i helped plan the mission that augmented the national guard down on the border as we were helping the border patrol get control of our borders. we were building a double fence with a road in between. that worked. now what has happened is illegal immigration has crossed to arizona because our border is more secure. the virtual fence is worthless. we must complete a physical barrier on our southern border. >> back to you, mr. armstrong. >> despite significant rain and snowfall this winter and spring, the state of california still faces a severe water crisis in the central valley where it has crippled farming. there have been other problems there ago what specific actions should congress take to keep the water flowing to the farms and still protect the ecosystem of the delta at? >> there is nothing more important than to get our greatest
