The thousands of migrants Department of Homeland Security officials release into Hidalgo County, Texas, are “legal immigrants” because they are allowed to legally travel within the United States, County Judge Richard Cortez says.
That’s something not many people fully understand and something that adds to misperceptions about the Rio Grande Valley region, Cortez told Border Report during Monday morning sit-down interview he hopes will set the record straight between who is “legally” allowed to be in the country, and who is here illegally.
“What we have now is an overflow of ‘legal immigrants,'” Cortez said from his office in Edinburg, Texas. “These are legal immigrants that our law says they can come here and they can stay here and this is what’s causing the problem.”
The “legal” migrants, under federal law, must be processed within a few days and released. And he says South Texas is doing its best to safely help test them for coronavirus by partnering with local, city and federal officials to keep communities safe so they don’t board buses or airplanes carrying the virus.
“We have a law and a policy that’s creating a problem of having too many legal immigrants coming into this area,” he said.

Many of them are, and the connection has been discussed, except in the MSM.
Judge, the law says the opposite and DHS has no legal authority to admit illegal aliens who fail to appear at a port of entry for inspection and who lack legal documentation permitting such entry.
The US congress never authorized this. DHS is breaking the law and you judge should ask for your money back from whatever law school spawned you.
Sounds like a distinction without a difference.
County Judge Richard Cortez is a liar.
