Thousands of illegal immigrant children who have been arrested for crossing the U.S. border are merely pawns "in a political game" by President Barack Obama, Rep. Marsha Blackburn charged to Newsmax on Saturday.
"I find it just horrific that these children would be used for a political point," the Tennessee Republican said after touring a detention center at Fort Sill Army Base in Oklahoma. ....
Blackburn spent about two hours at the Fort Sill center with Oklahoma Rep. Jim Bridenstine, who appeared on Newsmax TV on July 3 to tell "MidPoint" host Ed Berliner how he was denied access when he tried to visit there earlier this month. ....
President Obama asked Congress last week for $3.7 billion to address the border crisis — but Blackburn told Newsmax that she will not support it because the funds will only make matters worse. Bridenstine concurred in his statement. Obama already has the money in the current budget.
"We are not going to incentivize the continued abuse of the southern border," Blackburn said. "We're not going to incentivize the human trafficking, sex trafficking and labor trafficking of these children and young adults."
She said her position was reinforced at Fort Sill.
"You don't want to continue to add to this, to these children who are confused and unaware," Blackburn said. "Nor do you want to incentivize these traffickers.
"There may be a child who is going to someone they don't even know. They have a name. They have a telephone number — and how do you know that they are the parent?
"If someone is in the country illegally, how do you do a verified background check?"

He’s like a 4 year old at a pet store. No, Mr. President, you can’t keep them.
Obama's incentivized the gangs who bring the children here... and he's handled this situation with all the competence of the Obamacare roll out... Democrats are evil...
You underestimate the Obamunists’ sinister (indeed Stalinistic) disregard for human individuals.
So Marsha, what are you going to do about it???
It seems that he spends whenever, whereever and whatever he wants. The pathetic Republicans certainly are not going to stop him, that's for certain.
Thanks Tailgunner Joe.
