going down when i became chairman of the committee on a bipartisan trip to the border, down to mcallen, texas. at that point in time, customs and board patrol were overwhelmed, but they did what customs and border patrol often do. they rose to the challenge. and they dealt with this humanitarian crisis as humanely as they possibly can. they built a facility. now, they put up chainlink fences so they could keep the children safe, the young ones from the older ones or from the adults. on a bipartisan basis, we sung customs and border patrol's praises. fax forward to the crisis of 2018-2019, and all of a sudden that exact same facility that was actually upgraded, it was better than it was, it was more humane, all of a sudden my democrat colleagues started calling that facility one that housed children in cages. what hypocrisy. you can see through 2019, once the obama administration started detaining families together, they stemmed the tide, but that didn't last for long, as i will demonstrate on my next chart. a quick explanation of this chart. the gold bars are single adults. it's been an ongoi

it is absolutely disgusting what we viewed at the border a week and a half ago when we went to mcallen texas and shana these mexican criminal cartels we're told are making $400 million a month. they are delivering 2,000 people every 24 hours from mexico to the texas border and the drugs they are getting in as well are killing our people because young people are ordering certain drugs online things like oxycontin or adderall or -- or xanax and not realizing that they are laced with fentanyl and unfortunately they're overdosing. and our citizens are dying as a result of this. they were 90,000o.d. overdoses just in the last year. shana. >> yeah. i mean, that is something we saw as a result of the pandemic and a lockdown just a mental aspect of more and more people turning to these types of substances to help deal with the situation. but this is one of the programst thought talk about the fact that drug trade is a bigger problem here. you know, everybody wants to talk about illegal immigration, and lots of migrants crossing the border, and so on and so ports. but no one is talking about the bigg
