CBP Deputy Head: Southern Border Situation
Is 'Unquestionably an Unprecedented Crisis'
< >
U.S. Customs & Border Protection Deputy Commissioner Robert Perez classified the situation at the country's southern border as a "national security crisis" Saturday.
Perez was a member of President Trump's roundtable discussion on border security Friday and recalled the discussion on "Fox & Friends."
"We had sheriffs and representatives from Massachusetts, from North Carolina, from all over the country including border communities, talking about how gang violence is permeating their communities and affecting the youth by ways of recruitment and the violence in and of itself," he said.
Trump said Friday that he was holding off on declaring a national emergency, calling it an "easy solution," but urged congressional Democrats to vote on a funding bill for border security.
