Acting ICE Director Mark Morgan is criticizing congressional Democrats for blaming the border crisis on President Trump. In an interview Wednesday, Morgan said the Democrat’s claims are outrageous and aren’t helpful in solving the dire security situation at the Mexico border.
The ICE chief stressed that Customs and Border Protection officials risk their lives every day battling ruthless cartels as well as drugs and human-traffickers to keep America safe.
Congressional Democrats have said the crisis at the border was created by the harsh treatment of children, but many Americans appear to agree with Morgan and ICE.
“We know that Border Patrol already said that there is a crisis going on at the border, even the former head for the Obama administration admitted that,” stated Jason Lo, a local resident of Miami, Fla. “So, I’m going to say one thing about the children separated at the border: the news says that President Trump is racist now because they’re being separated. What happened when Barack Obama was doing it? Nobody called it racist then.”
Morgan has also called for sweeping immigration reform to end the catch-and-release, and revoke the Clinton-era policy of separations of alien families.
