I would say to the other side of the aisle. is not doing his job. In fact. he is ordering law enforcement officers not to do their job. Federal law requires that. when immigration law enforcement officers encounter an individual who is unlawfully present in the United States. "he shall be placed in removal proceedings." That is the law. Our Border Patrol officers are told that. if you are here to enforce the law and you are determined to do so. you better get yourself another job. They have become the welcome wagon on the southern border. Now. most anybody that crosses that border and makes it across the Rio Grande River or across the land border that stretches from Texas all the way across through New Mexico. Arizona. California. to the Pacific Ocean knows. if you just claim asylum. you can be a refugee and this Federal Government will roll out the welcome wagon. Former Member of Congress Michele Bachmann and I stood on the banks of the Rio Grande River at Roma. Texas. here a summer and a half or so ago and watched as they inflated a raft on the other side of the river. two coyotes. It was a fairly good size raft. They helped a lady into that raft on a Sunday afternoon in broad daylight exactly at the shift change for the Border Patrol. They helped a pregnant lady into the raft. She had two little bags of her property. They brought that raft across the river. brought it up to the shoreline under the eyes of the city police and the Border Patrol. but it was shift change. One of the coyotes got out of the raft while the other one stabilized it. They helped the pregnant lady out of the raft and onto U.S. shores and then handed her two little ditty bags.
