This past weekend, over my morning coffee, I opened my news app and read the awful headline– “Eight Migrants Found Dead in the Rio Grande.” While we’ve seen these reports of the atrocities at our Southern Border for nearly two years, this one hit harder. Just weeks ago, I stood on those very same riverbanks in Eagle Pass, Texas, accompanied by the men and women of the Border Patrol and local law enforcement. As my colleagues and I listened to their firsthand accounts, this crisis became all too real, not just another news article.
