Veronica Escobar (D) said the majority of the visit was focused on the increased number of migrants and unaccompanied minors trying to enter the U.S. illegally.<\/p>\n<p>Escobar said a migrant advocate who met with Mayorkas claimed the treatment of unaccompanied children has improved, however, disagrees with members of Congress investigating the holding facilities while children are being housed there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there are ways to do it and I\u2019ll give you an example\u2026the shelter facilities, if folks can see them before the kids go in,\u201d she stated. \u201cThey can video the facilities, ask questions, get responses and share with the country what they saw \u2014 that is really important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This comes as Kamala Harris continues to draw harsh criticism over her absence from the U.S.-Mexico border region and her lack of transparency as she goes on 18 days without a formal press conference on the issue.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/iowa-gov-reynolds-declines-federal-request-to-house-migrant-children\/\"> Iowa Gov.
