Democratic presidential candidate Robert Francis ‘Beto’ O’Rourke expressed disagreement with the term “catch-and-release” as it applied to illegal immigrants, instead preferring to call it “helping those who are seeking asylum in this country to follow our laws” during an appearance on CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday.
“So there are about 16,000 migrants in U.S. detention facilities right now. What should happen to them?” host Margaret Brennan asked.
“Most of those asylum-seeking migrants pose no threat or danger to the United States. We know from past history that when we connect them with case managers in a community they have a 99% chance of meeting their court dates and their appointments with ICE, and it costs us one-tenth of what we pay to keep them in detention and in custody,” O’Rourke said.
“So in other words ‘catch-and-release’ is something you support?” Brennan asked.
“I wouldn’t call it ‘catch-and-release.’ I would call it helping those who are seeking asylum in this country to follow our laws,” O’Rourke responded. “If at the end of that process they must return to their country of origin, I want to make sure they go back to the country from which they left in the first place.”
Brennan asked for O’Rourke to clarify whether would seek to detain those who enter the United States illegally.
“Not necessarily in every case, but I think vast majority of families and children who are fleeing the deadliest countries on the face of the planet, who are seeking asylum in this country, they don’t try the flee arrest, they don’t try to evade detection, those families pose no threat or risk to this country.” more here
Just like all commies, they want to feed you sh*t and tell you it’s ice cream.
“….. when we connect them with case managers in a community they have a 99% chance of meeting their court dates and their appointments with ICE …..”
I haven’t heard that statistic before, anyone know where it’s from and how it is determined?
Beto, you magnificent, spastic, table hopping, stupid bastard. I wouldn’t read your book if you managed to get a ghostwriter to write one for you!
Anyone know how many pages his book is? I have a coffee table with a bit of a wobble, so….
Just when I thought the dumbass beta couldn’t say anything more stupid, he surprises me. I say release all of them…at his house.
He needs to be caught and not released.
@Anon – that “statistic” came directly out of his lying @ss.
“… helping those who are seeking asylum in this country to follow our laws.”
Which they’ve already broken by being here?
And they aren’t “seeking asylum” – they’re seeking “free shit” – they are parasites – just like most politicians.
YUGE difference.
izlamo delenda est …
Put them in the most violent area of Chirag.
When I catch & release a fish, I release it to where it came from.
Border jumping invaders need to be handled the same way.
Our govt “poverty line” qualifies as upper middle class in the immigrants’ countries. Doesn’t take a genius to see that they aren’t coming here for the ideology.
Memorial Day fun fact in that shithole sanctuary beta city…
