Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar has launched a criminal investigation into the flights arranged by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, which brought 48 Venezuelan migrants from San Antonio, Texas, to Martha’s Vineyard last week. Is he grandstanding and posturing for a higher office?
Salazar told reporters that it is too soon to press charges against anyone and make public the names of any suspect. He said he is working with the liberal attorneys representing some migrants flown to establish what laws were broken and who should be charged. Salazar says he is “furious.”
The liberal news media is also in a frenzy. The local and national news media, including the Spanish-language news, never paid attention to the chaos at the San Antonio Migrant Center. However, since last Friday, when the story broke, they have been at the Center daily looking for illegal aliens who will confirm their story.
Furthermore, the news media is treating this story as they did the “Trump-Russian Collusion” story. They are looking for evidence to declare DeSantis, a popular national Republican official, guilty.
It is ironic and hypocritical that the news media did not care very much when children were flown by the Biden Administration out of Texas to New York in the middle of the night. So why doesn’t Salazar investigate that?
Also, some illegal aliens are being charged to be bussed from the border to San Antonio, and no one seems to know by whom. Why not investigate that?
Why not investigate why the City of San Antonio’s government is helping and facilitating illegal immigration into Bexar County by establishing this Migrant Center?
Why doesn’t Salazar investigate how many criminals, convicts, and terrorists are serviced at the Migrant Center, endangering the community?
As a sheriff who swore to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, why doesn’t he investigate why immigration laws are being broken by the Biden Administration and nonprofits in Bexar County?
Salazar is playing politics and selecting which laws he will enforce. Earlier this year, he said he would not enforce the state’s anti-abortion law or the Supreme Court ruling allowing states to determine the limits on abortion.
A sheriff must uphold all the laws and not play politics. Likewise, the news media should report the facts and not push an agenda or predetermined liberal narrative.
Perhaps the citizens and voters of Bexar County and San Antonio should investigate Sheriff Salazar to determine if he is protecting the community and upholding all the laws. Maybe they should also challenge the local and national news media’s reporting.
What part of the word “illegal” in the phrase “illegal immigration” does Sheriff Salazar not understand?
