Rep. Hageman visits Southern border in Arizona

YUMA, Ariz. – On Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., visited the Southern border for a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the border crisis.

In addition to the hearing, Hageman was to tour a Yuma area hospital and "see the failures of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to secure the border," according to a news release from her office, which described Yuma's systems and services as being "at their breaking points due to the surge of illegal immigrants flowing through our open border."

“What is happening in Yuma right now is tragic – and sadly, not atypical of border towns throughout the south," Hageman said in the release.
