| Border Sheriffs: DHS Secretary's Visit To Texas Border 'Too Late' |
| 2014-06-21 |
| [DFW.CBSLOCAL] The Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson's arrival in Texas is being met with mixed feelings by some law enforcement officials along the border. Don Reay, the Executive Director of the Texas Border Sheriffs Coalition, says a visit by Johnson may have had more of an impact before plans were put into effect to transport and house the thousands of unaccompanied minors that have come into Texas through Mexico illegally. "I would wish that this would have been done prior to all of this action so that there had been some advance knowledge of all of these actions passed onto local governments rather than — here it is folks," says Reay. "The first I've heard of this trip is through the news media. None of my Sheriffs have contacted us to let them know that they've been contacted." |

| #4 The time to address this was a dozen years ago after 9/11. That meant a barrier fence and a defended zone behind it, with internal enforcement aimed at businesses who employ illegals, and making illegals ineligible for social welfare. Had we done that then, we should not be facing this now. |

| #1 Jeh Johnson's arrival ANYWHERE on behalf of the current regime should be met with "mixed feeling." |
