Trump says he secured the border. Nobody's coming into our country now. We have the border totally stopped.We're here in Texas to see what those changes look like on the ground. We've got the most controlled border we've ever had in the history and in my lifetime in the Border Patrol.

So, we are going to be painting the entire southern border wall black to make sure that we uh encourage individuals to not come into our country illegally. Now, if you look at the structure that's behind me, it's tall, which makes it very, very difficult to climb, almost impossible.

But the work still continues with a bipartisan group of House members pushing for the impossible in Congress, a comprehensive immigration reform package that combines border funding security and legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants. And joining me now is New York Democratic Congresswoman Laura Gillan.Uh, Congresswo ...
