'The border crisis has been anything but humane. I think you're seeing the governor do everything he possibly can just to secure the border,' Rep. Gonzales, a Republican, told 'Face the Nation' on Sunday.
In, a Texas state trooper raised concerns about the tactics, saying it put migrants, including young children, at risk of drowning and serious injury. The trooper also claimed Texas officials had been directed to withhold water and push them back into the river. In one instance, the trooper said he and his team rescued a woman who was stuck in the razor wire and having a miscarriage.
"I don't think the buoys are the problem," he said, noting that migrants were drowning long before the floating barriers were put in place."The reality is the buoy is only a very small, little portion of the river." When pressed on whether it was acceptable that migrants were being harmed by such measures, Gonzales said,"This is not acceptable. It's not acceptable and it hasn't been acceptable for two years.
"We can't just wait on the president to solve things. We can't wait for governors to try and fix it themselves," Gonzales said."Congress has a role to play in this."
