Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee said they would attend Wednesday morning's in-person field hearing at the southern border -- even going so far as to book their travel and call a witness -- before pulling out of the hearing earlier this week, a GOP spokesperson tells Fox News.
The committee is holding a field hearing on the ongoing crisis at the southern border in McAllen, Texas on Wednesday, with witnesses including Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz.
Democrats earlier this week pulled out of the hearing "after careful consideration" and said that it had "become clear that Republicans planned to politicize this event from the start, breaking with the Committee’s proud history of bipartisanship."
"Instead of a fact-finding mission to develop better border security and immigration policies, Republicans are traveling to the border to attack the Administration and try to score political points with their extreme rhetoric - despite having voted against the resources border personnel need," Ranking Member Bennie Thompson said in a statement. "Committee Democrats are in regular contact with Department leadership and stakeholders on the ground and will be taking substantive site visits to the border - including as soon as this week."........

The Democrats clearly care more about illegal aliens than they do about tax paying Americans.
