Top Ranking Dem: Border Surge 'Not Sustainable' for United States
The second highest ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), made a strong statement on Tuesday, calling for the immediate deportation of most unaccompanied alien minors from Central America who are streaming across the U.S.-Mexico border during the ongoing surge. While a few Democrats, mostly from border states, have taking a tougher position on the surge, Hoyer is the highest ranking Democrat to do so.
