GOP Rep. Kinzinger After Deployment to Border: Situation Warrants Emergency Declaration

4:55

Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said the situation at the southern border constituted a national emergency after witnessing it during his Air National Guard unit deployed to Arizona.

Partial transcript as follows:

MARGARET BRENNAN: And we’re going to turn now to Illinois Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger who’s in Chicago but he is just freshly back from the border. He was serving with the Air National Guard at the border where he was flying surveillance missions out of Tucson, Arizona. Congressman this wasn’t your first border deployment. It’s the first one under the national emergency. Does it constitute a national emergency?

REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER: Yeah I think it does. You know, I went down there kind of undecided. You know I- I put on my lieutenant colonel hat, was apolitical but obviously I’m looking at this, getting the information I can. And I think if this was just an issue of immigration it wouldn’t constitute a national emergency but what I saw was really disturbing. Let me give you just a couple of quick examples and I was just a small part of all the operations that were being done.

We found at one point a woman hunkered down in the desert because her coyotes who brought her over deserted her because they wanted to get away. Had she actually not been found by us I don’t know if she’d been able to find her way home. So yeah, she got picked up by Border Patrol, she’s going to be deported, but that was a way better option than being one of the 200, at least, bodies they end up finding in the desert every year.

And keep in mind I’ve done this, you know, we had a mission where we found 70 pounds of methamphetamines on somebody that was coming over and I’m just a very small part of that. This is the fourth time I’ve been to the border, my first time in Arizona, completely different terrain than my prior in Texas. Texas by the way, I was there under President Obama. So the Guard’s mission on the border is nothing new.

R. Kelly can't afford to get out of jail: The singer who's sold more than 75 million albums and was once worth an estimated $150MILLION can't find $100k to post bail for sex abuse charges… and it looks like no one is willing to pay for him……

The judge imposed a bond of $250,000 for each of the four cases brought against the embattled R&B singer

He will be able to post just 10 percent of the bond amount in order to be released

Kelly's lawyers had asked for a lower bond amount, arguing that the defendant's finances are a mess in part because he was recently dropped by his record label

Kelly surrendered for arrest on Friday night in Chicago as his attorney denied the charges and vowed his client would be vindicated

The alleged incidents took place with four women between 1998 and 2010

Three of the women were under the age of 17 at the time of the alleged assaults

Prosecutors allege one of the women was an underage girl whom Kelly solicited while he was on trial for child pornography in 2008
