Republican senators tour the southern border

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

George Orwell, he/his/him

We were out past 1 a.m. Friday with more than a dozen Republican senators along the southern border.

Their message: Send the unaccompanied minors back.

On Wednesday, there were 5,156 children in Border Patrol's custody and 11,900 children in the Department of Health and Human Services' custody, according to data released by HHS.

Along the way, we met a mother just moments after she stepped onto U.S. soil -- her 5-year-old daughter clenching her hand. It was just after midnight.

With tears in her eyes, she told me she fought to come to the United States for her daughter.

She was emotional, describing the journey -- saying it's been difficult. They went many days without food. As her little girl heard her mother cry, she began crying too.

"It's been very difficult, a lot of days fighting with hunger on the way, and it's not easy to just come, and hide from Guatemala's immigration officers", she said. "One comes alone without anyone that can help them, one comes alone, it's very difficult".
