Texas Republican Calls Border Crisis a ‘Myth’

Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX), whose district includes 820 miles on the U.S.-Mexico border, told Rolling Stone that President Trump’s claim of a border crisis is a “myth,” and that a border wall is the “most expensive and least effective way to do border security” and is a “third-century solution to a 21st-century problem.”

He added that using eminent domain to take land for the border wall would impact more than 1,000 Texas property owners.
