AT: The word has gone out (including via radio ads), not just to Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, but to the entire world. If you show up at the U.S. border with a child and claim asylum, even if you are simply seeking a better standard of living, you will be released after at most a brief detention and will be able to melt into the interior for years, never bothering to show up for your hearing scheduled years from now. Unsurprisingly, a tidal wave of asylum-seekers is overwhelming the system, and potentially millions will show up to exploit this loophole.
Legislation is required urgently. President Trump knows it, and so do the GOP House lackeys of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who see their interests lying in an unimpeded flow of low-cost labor, as well as the Democrats who see their voters in the faces of the “migrants.” They need to be pushed by public pressure. What’s required is a sustained campaign to introduce and force the Democrat leadership to vote on a simple bill that would require asylum-seekers to wait for adjudication of their asylum claims outside the USA, even if they claim to arrive as a family.
Fortunately, Representative Dan Crenshaw, the most impressive freshman House member I have seen in a long time, is ideally situated to assume leadership in this P.R. campaign that is necessary to force the hands of the House Democrats. Until I saw this tweet, I did not realize how fluent Crenshaw is in Spanish. Even better, he makes his case cogently and persuasively, appealing to the majority of Hispanics who want immigration laws enforced. Democrats would have a hard time standing up against pressure from U.S. Hispanics. Watch
BFH – So how do we view twitter videos if we refuse to have an account?
@2A,
I do not have a twitter account and I watched it…..
So far I haven’t heard a false word come out of Crenshaw, and he has done a great job of responding to everything thrown at him. I see greatness in his future.
Wake me when “we’re” leaning in to the gallows.
I ain’t gettin’ off the couch for, yet, another “time out”.
The Democrat Party & their Useful Idiots in the Mainstream Media must be freaking out over Congressman Crenshaw. He can go directly to Hispanics and make the case for why they should be against all illegals coming here. Its like Prez Trump using Twitter to get his unfiltered message directly to Americans, avoiding the MSM’s propaganda process.
You haven’t met many freshman congressmen, eh. As a minority freshman congressman, Crenshaw is a cock-on-the-dunghill crowing Fox propaganda and kissing Trump’s butt. He has turned his valiant military record into a cheap jingoistic advertising gimmick. Dan shows little interest in representing the interests of those who live in TX-02. But that is OK, as a minority freshman he is completely inconsequential.
Crenshaw will primary Cornyn next year.
