Crenshaw: Why we can’t fix the border crisis

In a series of tweets this morning Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R) Texas, laid out why he thinks the border crisis cannot be fixed. As he is from the state of Texas he is well aware of the impact that illegal immigration has on this country as well as the state he represents.

Want to understand why we can’t fix the border crisis? Let’s break down the Congressional Dems’ strategy:

Step 1: Ridicule regular Americans’ concerns with border security, & conflate illegal immigration with legal immigration.

Step 2: Propose DACA amnesty without addressing illegal immigration (knowing GOP can’t support a proposal that doesn’t address the root cause of the problem).

Step 3: Refuse compromise with GOP on border security, asylum law reform, and DACA fix.

Step 4: Ignore POTUS’s request for $4 billion in humanitarian aid at the border while simultaneously demanding “action” to fix the humanitarian crisis.

Step 5: Keep the issue alive and paint GOP as anti-immigrant.

The truth is that this cycle hurts legal immigrants, legal asylum seekers, and regular Americans who believe we should have a say in our sovereignty. It has to stop.

On Thursday Rep Crenshaw also tweeted about the border crisis:

Great bipartisanship in Texas to find solutions to border security.

Now lets do our job in Washington and help Texas secure the border.

Instead, Dems refuse to acknowledge crisis, and actively work to prioritize illegal immigrants instead of Americans.https://t.co/wcPUOIOKJD

Worst yet, they voted down every common sense amendment to the bill.

For instance, they voted down an amendment that would exclude known gang members from DACA.

The American people are not the priority of this Democratic led House. That fact becomes clearer every day.
