House Republicans demand details on Dems' mysterious trips to Mexico
Fox News ^ | 09/09/2019 | Adam Shaw, Brooke Singman

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee are calling on their Democratic colleagues to provide more details about a series of trips taken to Mexico while staff were touring border detention facilities, amid reports that at least one Democrat has been involved in “coaching” migrants there on how to exploit U.S. immigration law.

In a letter to Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., obtained by Fox News, ranking member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said there were at least two committee staff trips into Mexico in August — one of which required Border Patrol agents to provide a special escort back into the U.S.

“Although you have the authority to direct Committee staff to travel internationally on official committee business, you have not explained why you authorized this travel into Mexico or what you sought to learn through these trips,” Jordan wrote, adding that Republicans were not notified of the trips.

Jordan went on to accuse Democrats of seeking “to delegitimize the administration’s border security efforts and vilify the men and women who protect our border.” He said GOP members are concerned the trips “could continue to result in misleading information about the administration’s border security efforts.”

Fox News has reached out to Cummings' office for a response to Republicans' claims. […]

According to The Washington Examiner, staff from (Texas Democratic Representative Veronica) Escobar’s office recently coached migrants in Ciudad Juárez on how to exploit federal immigration law — including telling would-be border crossers to pretend they cannot speak Spanish to exploit a loophole that would let them enter the US. …

Our worse problem is not the Dimocrats and the commies. IT IS the so called Republicans, the so called conservatives, the so called RINOs WHO HAVE NOT DONE THEIR JOB!!! They run their mouths, but do NOTHING!!! They are our worse nightmare. We can no longer rely on them. We are on our own. We have no party to be a member of. No one to call on to back our side. We are individuals alone, against the mob, against the Dimocratic Homo Loving Communist of Amerika. We are the few, but the proud, fighting the fight alone, without help from the Republicans whom we were once members of said party. I left them years ago, when they allowed Klinton to get away with his criminal acts. The House impeached him. The cowards in the Senate did not convict him. They were too afraid. That is when I knew we were screwed by the Republican party. That is when I left. When I KNEW we on our side were screwed for the long haul. Simple as that. I have not cared about that party since they let us down. Sadly, their party is the only one we can find a person running to vote for. I vote for those that are close to my beliefs, otherwise I skip them and move on. Sadly, there are VERY, VERY FEW on the Republican side for us to back, and vote, for.

"They were mules for carrying cash used to buy democrats from the cartels into the country."

Sure.. Why not.. Nobody in the justice department is going to enforce the laws on the stinking lawyers (politicians) in DC in any way, shape or form..
Who knows.. Maybe they are on the take as well.! Sure seems that way... :(

Meanwhile, they keep turning over rocks to find a crime to pin on the President, for impeachment.
These traitorous Rats keep committing crimes against the U.S., right out in plain sight, and nothing is done.

“Investigations” of BJ Clinton’s wife taught us that absolute exoneration of a Rat forever and ever occurs amazingly fast.

Donald Trump and his supporters will be harassed and pursued forever, thanks to ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY for our domestic enemies’ crimes against America.

They’re becoming bolder.

Cummings has not explained why he authorized a tax-paid delegation to travel to Mexico........could be drugs.

Good point.

We should consider Cummings and his wife's activities, shaking down outfits with business before his committee
(and other thefts from disappearing billions voted to his district) are just fronts.

The really big money is trafficking in the drug trade coming over the border.

Well, this will amount to something.......... Zero is something, but it amounts to nothing. If a Congress Critter is involved, its going to be nothing.

"It’s all about subverting the constitution. It’s a coup. When is that not treason?"

I think the actual term for their actions would be SEDITION. I'd love to see conservative pundits start attaching that word to the Dems who are openly under-mining our Republic. I'd also like same pundits stop calling them Liberals and call them for what they now are - SOCIALISTS! That's what I call them - Dim/Socialists.

That is because almost half the country - the institutions and social structure - wants to see the country essentially destroyed and turned into a leftist dictatorship. When we are that fundamentally split, the institutional establishment side can get away with pretty much anything, the only way to stop them is force...and they’re daring our side to try that.

On the agenda:

1. Meetings with HSBC banking reps to arrange money laundering for cartels. Payoffs to politicians to off shore secret accounts.
2. Meetings between dea agents and cartel reps to negotiate how many drugs will be seized and where as well as who will take the fall.
3. Meetings between dea officials, middlemen and HBSC agents to arrange recycling of captured drugs to middlemen and back into the market.
4. Meetings with Chinese officials and dea on fentanyl importing to Mexico and direct to US.
5. Meetings with US commanders in Afghanistan regarding opium imports and processing into heroin in Mexico or elsewhere.

Indeed, they’ll be busy doing the “people” work.

What is this loophole? I don’t understand it.

Of course they are involved in foreign collusion.

Partner, u hit it out of the ball park with this statement. The Rats probably told them like the Mexican government tells the Mexican Illegal Aliens where they can go to find jobs in the U.S.

The Rat party has always been the Communist party. BTW, we have heard that nobody likes the Rat congresswoman from the west Texas town of El Paso.
