.RepDanCrenshaw pitches solution to border crisis to unite Democrats and Republicans
Crenshaw, a top contender to take over the House Homeland Security Committee, said the historic crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border can be handled with one major change followed by several other twists. The plan may be able to appeal to both parties and includes ideas that centrist Democrats on the border have endorsed.
Pack planes full of migrants who cross illegally and deport them immediately. The crisis will end within months. "Why not just turn them away when they cross? Many have asked why Texas doesn’t do that. Because we have a river. Once they’re in the river, they’re within our jurisdiction. We can’t physically secure the Rio Grande. Even if we did turn them back, they’d cross somewhere else," Crenshaw said."So you need jet fuel.
Crenshaw called on the State Department to make deals with the uncooperative governments and force them to accept planeloads of people daily. "The truth is, the 'compassion' of Democrats open borders has allowed so much abuse to take place of our asylum system that the backlog is well over a million," Crenshaw continued."This means that real asylum seekers around the world have almost no chance of getting into the system."
