It is the largest and busiest crossing along our 1,800-mile shared border with Mexico. More than a thousand migrants a day are attempting dangerous illegal entry into the US through Mexico.

Most of them are from Central America and some from Mexico, but not all. Captures have been made from more than sixty countries of origin, including China, Syria, and Afghanistan—which causes obvious concerns.

Our group of faith leaders was led on the same all-access tour offered to members of Congress, into places that the public cannot access. It was a deeply moving experience.

Border Patrol agents are genuine heroes. Few of us can imagine the thankless job they do every day.

During a ride-along with Border Patrol that passed near the Rio Grande River, we were shown the well-worn path to the border crossing. Then we were taken to the Detention Center for those apprehended.

It didn't hit me until I walked past the children's area. I couldn't help but weep. It was spontaneous.

There were hundreds of children from about ages 3 to 15, lying side-by-side on mats on the floor. To cover their bodies as they slept, they used silver Mylar for blankets. It was an exhausted, silent sleep.
