“Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) told Breitbart News on Monday that he and other Republican senators were ‘taunted’ by Mexican cartel members during a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in the Rio Grande Valley Sector in Texas. ‘We went right there at midnight [on Friday] to the Rio Grande River, and we were really taunted by Mexican cartel members,’ Daines shared. ‘They didn’t know it was Republican senators who were staying there – literally on the water’s edge in the brush – but they knew it was probably Border Patrol. They could hear the English voices.'”
“Daines continued, ‘We had Border Patrol who could translate what the cartel members were saying. It was vile. It was threatening. It was obscene, because they know they can have their way. They’re not afraid. They know they can make thousands of dollars per person that’s crossing right now. That’s what’s going on, right now… Our Border Patrol guys were saying that they were telling us to stick certain – it related to anatomy and other things. Let me just say that. It was absolutely vile, and it was horrible, and, ‘You can’t stop us,’ and so forth. They had these great big flashlights they shot back at us. This is what’s at stake. It’s lawlessness. They don’t care'” – Breitbart.
