Emmer Feels There is a Crisis on the Southern Border

Sixth District Congressman Tom Emmer says "we have a crisis on the southern border."  Emmer says this crisis began in January when Joe Biden took office as President of the United States.  Emmer says the U.S. has lost control of the southern border and states that the vetting process isn't working. He says he wants to make sure that those coming into the country are looking to pursue the American dream as opposed to doing harm in our country.  Emmer would like to see the current administration improve the vetting process.  He is also concerned about people entering the southern border with COVID-19.  Emmer says the current administration doesn't appear concerned about people entering the country with COVID-19.
