PJ Media » Hoyer to PJM: ‘I Don’t Think We Have a Crisis at the Border’: House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said the record number of minors that have attempted to cross the border should not be considered a “security breach” or a “border crisis.”
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 35,209 children under 17 years of age were apprehended in 2013, compared to 66,127 so far in 2014.
Hoyer was asked if passing a comprehensive immigration bill could make the situation worse after the message gets out about a pathway to citizenship.
Hoyer said the young people “showed up” and did not sneak into the country.
