The new secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Jeh Johnson, went to Texas yesterday to check out the U.S. border with Mexico and to push immigration reform. […]

During his visit, Secretary Johnson met with U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel, toured border operations along the Rio Grande River, in the Rio Grande Valley and at the Port of Anzalduas, and visited the Port Isabel Detention Center. Secretary Johnson also joined U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar, U.S. Representative Ruben Hinojosa, McAllen Mayor Jim Darling, Hidalgo Mayor Martin Cepeda and Texas Department of Public Safety Director and State Homeland Security Advisor Steve McCraw in a meeting with state and local law enforcement officials. During the meeting, Secretary Johnson underscored the Department’s focus on continuing to build on the historic levels of personnel, technology and resources to the Southwest border, while at the same time working to ensure we effectively and sensibly enforce our nation’s immigration laws.
