WASHINGTON – The U.S. congressman said his trip to the border showed him the mind-boggling nature of the problem in a nutshell.

 

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, described to a hearing held by the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday morning how he saw illegal immigrants arrive on the border, claim asylum, and then be given a court date as far in the future as 2020.

 

“Meanwhile they get a work permit to compete against those legally and lawfully here.”

 

Chaffetz said there is a proper place for asylum but the current system is being abused in great numbers, and it’s all the fault of President Obama for not enforcing the immigration laws.

 

“The president owns this issue,” declared the congressman.

 

Referring to the approximately 60,000 children who have recently entered the country illegally, mostly from Central America, Chaffetz asked rhetorically, “Do we do any background checks on who we are giving these minors to? No. This administration does not do that. It is fundamentally wrong.”

 

WND confirmed that over the weekend, when Senior Staff Writer Jerome Corsi accompanied Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, to the border near McAllen, Texas.

 

“How do you know if you are releasing these kids to people who are truly family members in the United States or to pedophiles or other criminals posing as family members?” the congressman asked a Border Patrol supervisor.

 

“We only know who these children are by what they tell us,” the supervisor admitted. “Truthfully, we don’t really have any idea who they might be or where they came from other than what we can observe from questioning them. You’re right. If they give us false information, we have no way to know it or to follow it up without biometrics.”
