“There’s so much being thrown at people who don’t know as much about immigration certainly as you do as a border patrol agent, but there a a couple of ways to come into this country if you’re an undocumented immigrant and you come out on the Rio Grande river, that’s illegal,” Baldwin said.
Cabrera countered, “Even if you’re a U.S. citizen, it’s illegal.”
Baldwin then asked specifically about delays for asylum seekers.
Cabrera said bluntly, “We’ve had this situation going on for four years now. I don’t think you can necessarily blame it on one administration or another. It started under one and is continuing under another. It hasn’t been fixed and it needs to be fixed.”
He continued, “Right now we have this beacon of, ‘We’ll leave the light on for you and let you come illegally into the country.’ If you’ve seen some of the stuff we’ve seen, you’d understand how important it is to have a tough stance to divert people from coming here.”
Cabrera then bluntly told Baldwin some of the horrors he has seen.
“When you see a 12-year-old girl with a plan B pill, her parents put her on birth control because they know getting violated is part of the journey, that’s a terrible way to live. When you see a 4-year-old girl traveling alone with just her parents phone number written across her shirt. We had a 9-year-old boy have heat stroke in front of us and die with no family around. That’s because we’re allowing people to take advantage of this system.”
The retelling of the child horror stories elicited an audible gasp from Baldwin.
Cabrera went on to say that it’s up to Congress to change the law, but until then his agents will continue to enforce the laws on the books.
Tough Luck, CNN! You’ll garner more sympathy when you stop fomenting biased perceptions… Go ask BO about this. He can probably shed more light than what your dim lightbulbs are able to project. Give it a break.
The “reporter”, when told that it is up to the Congress to change the immigration laws said that it is “ultimately up to Tump, President Trump….” She is WRONG. Why is she reporting on something that is a SUPREME LAW of our land when she does NOT even seem to know what the Law or duties are? OR to know that every person who serves as a US President is required by the Contract that the serve under, and by the Oath they are REQUIRED to take and KEEP, is to per Article 2, Section 3 “… take Care that… Read more »
