Hispanic Pastors: Uh, We Toured The Border Detention Centers & Ocasio-Cortez Is Doling Out Some Big Lies
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and the Democratic Party have been peddling some serious allegations about the detention facilities housing illegal aliens at the southern border. Of course, they’re trying to paint the Trump administration or any administration that supports enforcing federal immigration laws as fascistic in nature. The overcrowding, the lack of basic supplies, no soap, no toothbrushes, etc. the outrage is deafening from the Left and their media allies. It’s very entertaining. Yes, it is—because these same clowns said that the border crisis and the horde of illegals swarming the border was a manufactured crisis peddled by the Trump White House. Nope. You’re wrong—as always.
Ocasio-Cortez recently threw a tantrum at Border Patrol agents, refusing a tour, but threw in the toilet water allegations that got the liberal media going. Allegedly, those detained were told to drink from toilets. That’s somewhat true in the sense that the sinks at these facilities are located on top of the toilets; they’re connected. Yet, AOC reportedly didn’t even go into the facility.
Sorry, I don’t believe it. These are the most partisan left-wingers on the Hill hell-bent on getting Trump. It’s an election year. And the fact that AOC wouldn’t say if she saw people drinking from the toilets is a red flag. We’re not Venezuela, folks or at least not yet. Hispanic pastors recently toured the border detention facilities and found that there were quite a bit of lies being pushed by the Left.
Rev. Samuel Rodriguez was "full of indignation" when he saw the reports and heard from politicians about the deplorable and inhumane conditions for illegal immigrants at an El Paso County, Texas migrant detention center. But what he saw at the same facility toured by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. with a group of pastors was "drastically different."
The president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, the world's largest Hispanic Christian organization, and senior pastor of New Seasons Christian Worship Center in Sacramento shared his firsthand experience touring a migrant detention center during a press briefing Monday.
"I read the reports, saw the news clips. I just wanted to see what was actually happening in order to better enable our efforts to find a fair and a just solution to our broken immigration system," Rodriguez, who has advised President Trump and both Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush on immigration reform, noted. "To my surprise, I saw something drastically different from the stories I’ve been hearing in our national discourse. Even as a veteran of immigration advocacy in the U.S., I was shocked at the misinformation of the crisis at the border."
"We found no soiled diapers, no deplorable conditions and no lack of basic necessities," Rodriguez remarked, adding he specifically asked border agents if they staged the facility in response to the negative press. "They unequivocally denied it — we were witnessing the identical conditions the attorneys saw when they toured the facility days earlier."
In fact, some told him the sources from whom the negative coverage originated "never toured the areas of the facility that we toured" and speculated they might have had political motivations.
Shocker, these clowns lied. The House recently passed the Senate’s immigration package of $4.6 billion to deal with the ongoing crisis. It was the only bill that was passable. House Democrats passed a similar bill as well, though it came with conditions concerning enforcing immigration laws. The Senate bill was overwhelmingly bipartisan. Moderate House Democrats said they would back it, Pelosi caved, and Trump clinched a win on immigration. After weeks of intransigence and the Department of Homeland Security warning that they were running out of money to deal with the crisis, the Democrats finally gave Trump the money to handle the endless hordes of illegals trying to break into the country.
Apprehensions have soared into six-figure territory. It’s a problem and one that could’ve been addressed more sensibly if the Democrats weren’t so stupid trying to fight this White House at every turn. We’re not done yet. We still need the wall. Until then, expect the Democrats to continue to peddle straight trash about the border because they don’t want this issue to be fixed. They want open borders. Nancy Pelosi has made the party position clear.
