Fifteen Congressional Democrats have announced they plan to boycott a congressional trip to the Texas Rio Grande Valley for hearings about the border crisis planned for Wednesday, March 15. Republican Congressman Mark Green of Tennessee, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, says the panel will hear from the top U.S. Border Patrol official, among other witnesses.
However, the Democrats say the meeting is a political move by Republicans to “overstate” the border issue. Democrats, even Texas congressional Democrats have avoided the border crisis like a political hot potato.
Cong. Green criticized Democrats for inviting a witness of their choice, then abandoning that witness with their refusal to attend the hearing. That person, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official, is still slated to attend the hearing.
Once again, the actions of the Democrats show they do not care about the border crisis or its impact on American citizens. Criminals, terrorists, drugs, and diseases have entered through the open and unsecured border... and the Democrats don't care.
