President Trump tweeted out his concern about the border and said that “Dems created this problem”.
Would be very SMART if Mexico would stop the Caravans long before they get to our Southern Border, or if originating countries would not let them form (it is a way they get certain people out of their country and dump in U.S. No longer). Dems created this problem. No crossings!
Cummings wants caravan migrants to enter the country immediately. In other words, he wants catch and release to continue. That would mean that the illegals would be able to live in the US with a promise they’ll return for their asylum hearing. If you laughed out loud at that, you would be correct in assuming that most illegals just disappear and never show up for their hearing.
What President Trump is trying to do is keep them in Mexico while their cases are processed. We’re so blessed that our president is trying his hardest to stop the constant influx of illegals who just disappear into America.
Cummings suddenly wants to follow the law that lets the invasion continue:
“That’s not the law. They should be allowed to come in, seek asylum. That’s the law.”
Chuck Todd then asked Cummings if he would support changing the law…HE SAID, “NO”
This should be a HUGE wakeup call to anyone who doesn’t realize what Democrats want. It certainly isn’t an “America First” agenda like Trump wants!
EXCLUSIVE: @RepCummings says he does not support a potential deal where asylum-seekers coming through Mexico would stay in Mexico until their court date in the United States. #MTP

Cummings makes the false claim that the “system” has worked for a long time:
“I think we have a system that has worked for a long time. This president’s come in, wants to change it. That’s up to him. But now the Congress has got to stand up, and hopefully, they will.”
