In January, amid the government shutdown, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., accused President Trump of “manufacturing a crisis” when it comes to the southern border.

It was my belief at the time that both Schumer and Pelosi were wrong. And after the trip I took to Yuma, Ariz., with a group of other House Republicans last week, I am now armed with the firsthand experiences to prove it.
