Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) wasn’t sold on DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano’s testimony that border security was vastly improved in recent years by major funding boosts, hiring increases, new technologies, as evidenced by a 78 percent decline in border apprehensions since 2000.
“I truly believe had this administration done a better job at enforcement…you would be in a much stronger position with the American people to ask for a more broad solution to the problem,” Sessions said at a Senate hearing on Wednesday, citing low morale at ICE and complaints from its union.
