Rep. Jim Jordan and several other congressmen went to the border at the Rio Grande Valley sector and just posted on what they saw down there:
This week we inspected conditions at the Rio Grande Valley border sector. It’s the busiest sector for unauthorized entry into our country.
Here’s what we saw (THREAD):

We received a briefing from @CBPRGV Chief Rodolfo Karisch.
He gave us an update on the current status of the humanitarian crisis at the southern border.
Border Patrol agents are giving it their all, but until we fix the underlying causes, the crisis will continue. pic.twitter.com/cRHxvm1lk2

Border Patrol agents showed us the Rio Grande Valley Central Processing Center.
This facility opened in 2014 under President Obama. At the time, it was hailed as the "gold standard" of border facilities. pic.twitter.com/i3uFQpbpAQ

Agents thanked us for passing the border supplemental package. It gave them resources to immediately purchase additional necessary supplies to help with the humanitarian crisis.
But more needs to be done. pic.twitter.com/hEfmnj1s2a

Border Patrol told us that the crisis requires a “whole of government approach.” The Coast Guard is volunteering to help.
This is who Democrats are attacking when they claim that there's an "empathy deficit."
Everyone is doing their level best to care for children. pic.twitter.com/T391JmYyXm

This is the most interesting tweet to me, where they literally saw Mexico patrolling their side of the Rio Grande, thanks to Trump:
Border Patrol took us to the border itself, including a boat patrol of the Rio Grande River.
We saw Mexican government authorities patrolling. Border Patrol told us this was a direct result of the Trump Administration’s efforts to work with Mexico. pic.twitter.com/OlLqDU5kZW

Here’s the larger photo so you can see them patrols (click to enlarge):
And lastly…
Thanks to the hard working men and women of Border Patrol and everyone else giving it their all to deal with the crisis.
We stand with you in fighting to end the unprecedented humanitarian crisis and secure our southern border. pic.twitter.com/NuMV1X9afL

Notice Jordan didn’t say anything about people drinking from toilets or being mistreated by border officials. In other words, he didn’t go all AOC just to get his face on the news and push a narrative contrary to the truth.
