Elijah Cummings says U.S. must let caravan migrants enter: 'That's the law' |
2018-11-26 |
[Wash Times] Dems importing voters Rep. Elijah Cummings, ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, said Sunday that caravan migrants seeking asylum should be able to enter the country immediately, challenging President Trump's efforts to keep them in Mexico while their cases are processed. "That's not the law. They should be allowed to come in, seek asylum. That's the law," Mr. Cummings said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "We need them for 2020" Asked if he would support changing the law, the Maryland Democrat said, "No." Mr. Trump is seeking a deal with Mexico in which the thousands of asylum-seeking migrants massing on the southern border would remain there until their applications are approved, insisting he will close the border if necessary. Mr. Cummings said he disagreed with the effort. "I think we have a system that has worked for a long time," the Maryland Democrat said. "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." |

#8 Dred Scot was also The Lawâ„¢, but that was DoublePlus Bad Law so we don't follow it, right? We only obey laws that are good for the Democratic Party, right? |

#6 Trump is doing it, so it must be wrong. The left is just exploring various themes to see which gets the most traction. |

#4 No, that isn't the law. There should be a law that anyone spouting stupid shit like this while holding a public position immediately loses their speaking privileges for a year. |
