During a conference call last week hosted by GOP politician E.W. Jackson, Rep. Louie Gohmert dismissed concerns that young migrants are fleeing Central America due to drug violence, claiming that the children arent telling the truth.
Texas and the United States is [sic] being invaded and were in danger, Gohmert said, before alleging that most of the unaccompanied minors are lying when they tell border patrol agents that they are escaping gang violence in Central America and have been coached to make such claims. Gohmert said minors end up telling officers that we were told to say that we were fleeing gang violence.
The congressmen went on to say that the penetration of criminals and terrorists across our southern border represents a threat to the U.S. comparable to the threat of a nuclear strike from Iran against Israel.
