Border hearing brings Congress to North Dakota

North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley says “the worst is yet to come” when it comes to the impacts of the significant number of illegal immigrants streaming into the country.
Wrigley made the comment while testifying before a congressional field hearing on border security in Grand Forks on May 29.
The Farmer attended the hearing, which was promoted as a bipartisan meeting of the U.S. House Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement, but no Democrats were present.
Multiple members of the state’s law enforcement community spoke to U.S. House members under oath, with extensive testimony on both the southern and northern borders of the United States.
Wrigley was joined by Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner, Executive Director of the Walhalla Chamber of Commerce Rebecca Davis, and Renville County Sheriff Rodger Hutchinson. Each speaker also entered written testimony into the record for lawmakers to consider.
