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.

“Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson today traveled to McAllen, Texas to tour border operations, receive briefings on the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) efforts to secure the border while facilitating lawful travel and trade, and meet with state and local law enforcement officials. Secretary Johnson thanked the men and women of DHS who work every day to secure our borders while also performing functions that are vital to our economy, and made clear that the border in this region continues to evolve and must be an area of focus for DHS in the years to come,” a statement from DHS reading out Secretary Johnson’s trip says.
