Glenn Beck explains why he will be visiting the border over the weekend

On Tuesday's episode of "The News and Why it Matters," Glenn Beck recounted a phone call he received from Tim Ballard, the CEO of The Nazarene Fund, who informed Glenn of the current plight of women and children at the U.S. Mexico border. During this call, Glenn was informed that women and children who are non citizens and in the United States illegally had been bused to a border city in New Mexico only to be released and abandoned.

Over the upcoming weekend, Glenn said he will be going to three separate border locations to expose the humanitarian crisis that had been described to him.

Glenn highlighted the need for border security and placed emphasis on the fact of President Donald Trump having been one of the few to have made honest observations about the need for border security.
