Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), during an interview on Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Tonight on Monday, advised President Donald Trump to pressure Mexico into doing its “fair share” to combat illegal immigration to the U.S. via leveraging NAFTA negotiations.
Breitbart Senior Editor-at-Large Rebecca Mansour asked Gosar about the “caravan” of Central Americans crossing Mexico to reach the Mexico-U.S. border.
“Apparently, their plan was to go to a port of entry and request asylum into the United States, in which case they would presumably be admitted, and then, they would be given a court date for them to come in front of a court to petition,” said Mansour. “If they did not show up to that court date, if they sort of disappeared into the interior, we would never know. … What do you make of this process, and what is Congress to prevent something like this from happening again?”
“This was brought forward in large scale by the Obama administration,” replied Gosar, “because what ends up happening, for the minors that are here, if they’re a non-contiguous country, we can’t send them right back. Minors from Mexico or Canada can be sent immediately right back, but there’s a loophole that allows people from non-contiguous states to be able to stay pending a court hearing.”
