Rep. Will Hurd, a Texas Republican who represents a district that borders Mexico for hundreds of miles, spoke on Wednesday about the impact the leadership shake-up at Homeland Security might have on the border situation.

"The turnover in leadership doesn’t help a bad situation," Hurd told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl and ABC News Political Director Rick Klein on the Powerhouse Politics podcast.
