House Homeland Security Chair: There Is a 'Crisis Like Nothing I've Ever Seen at the Border'

Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” House Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) said of the current humanitarian crisis developing on the U.S.-Mexico border as thousand of unaccompanied minor flooded into the United States that it is “a crisis like nothing I’ve ever seen at the border.”

“We have refugee camps now in my and your home state of Texas,” McCaul said. “It’s a very serious concern. I don’t think the flow will stop until a message of deterrence is sent back to Central America.” he added “The drug traffickers are making $5,000 a child on these needy children, advertising that if you get into the United States, you can stay, and to some extent, that is accurate.”
