O'Rourke to visit Mexico to meet with asylum seekers (Pander 2020)

Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke will visit asylum seekers denied access to the U.S. during a visit to Mexico on Sunday, the former Texas congressman's campaign said.

O'Rourke will visit Ciudad Juárez and hopes to shed light on the individuals and families "directly impacted" by President Trump's "cruel and inhumane policies," according his campaign.

"In all of the debate around immigration, we can't forget who it impacts most: the people traveling thousands of miles, fleeing the worst kind of violence and oppression," O'Rourke said in a statement. "Turning away refugees, families and asylum seekers is not who we are as a country. But as long as Donald Trump is president -- it will be."

O'Rourke, who represented a border district, released an immigration plan earlier this year that calls to end family separation, reunite those already separated and create a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

O'Rourke's immigration proposal fails to go as far as other candidates, notably fellow Texas Democrat Julián Castro, in calling to decriminalize the borders.

O'Rourke's planned trip to Mexico marks the first foreign trip by a presidential candidate this election. He is also scheduled to visit a Border Patrol facility on Sunday in Clint, Texas, where poor conditions for migrant children have been reported.

Immigration has been a key issue in the election, as Trump has kept it in the spotlight with this threats of Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids and reports of unsanitary conditions at border facilities under his administration.

Several candidates, including O'Rourke, visited a child migrant detention center in Homestead, Fla. last week while in Miami for the first debates.

O'Rourke to visit Mexico to meet with future illegal voting base.

[Bernard]

Will he swim back across illegally, or find a port of entry?

[madprof98]

Skateboarding back.

It’s obvious that at high levels of the Dem Party, the illegals are viewed as a current sob story to the weak minded, but also a future voting block, given government dependence, a path to citizenship, and future progeny.

But, I sometimes wonder whether every Democrat politician thinks this way, or whether some of them really believe the bleeding heart story. Beto seems to me like he could be one of the latter.

O’Rourke’s planned trip to Mexico marks the first “foreign trip” by a presidential candidate this election.

Haven’t most of this Democrat presidential clown show lineup been fundraising in California this year?

Hey Beto O’Dork drink lots of water while there. And they stay there.

[chief lee runamok]

Will o’dourke donate any of his wife’s fortune to the poor unfortunates?

[Kickass Conservative]

Is he giving them his Home Address and his Cell Phone Number?

I assume they already have the Uber App on their Phones.

[Cowboy Bob]

Beta needs to ask them why their countries suck so much.

“O’Rourke to visit Mexico to meet with asylum seekers”

makes sense ... he’s been unable to draw crowds in the U.S. any larger than a couple of dozen lately, so he might as well try a different country ...

[LoveMyFreedom]

The Rats are definitely more concern about the illegals than the American citizens. Keep showing your true colors!

[drypowder]

Maybe this entire bunch of democrat mexico pandering presidential hopefuls should just run for public office in Mexico.

[odawg]

Well, he better scoop up some of that desert dirt to eat while out and about and get his mind straight. He is not wearing well.

Policies? Wouldn’t that be Americas Laws?

Beto O'Rourke's planned trip to Mexico marks the first foreign trip by a presidential candidate this election.

Beto was also in Mexico sucking up votes as a Senate candidate. Read on.

A 2016 Congressional delegation to Mexico on he taxpayers' dime led by Speaker Pelosi included suckup Democrat Reps:
<><> Norma Torres, Lucille Roybal-Allard,
<><> Pete Aguilar and Linda Sanchez (Calif.);
<><> Senate candidate Cong Beto O'Rourke and Henry Cuellar (Texas);
<><> Ruben Gallego (Ariz.); Michelle Lujan Grisham (N.M.).

SCHADENFREUD Beto sucked-up bigtime for latino votes....but still lost his Texas race against Cruz.

=====================================

PELOSI PLEDGES HER UNDYING LOYALTY TO MEXICO--demeans American citizens and Trump to Mexican officials
In 2016 Nancy brought a Congressional delegation to Mexico City to meet with Mexican dignitaries. Pelosi told the Mexican president and his entourage: “We come here as a bipartisan and large delegation to express our respect for the people of Mexico and the country of Mexico; to acknowledge our shared border and our shared values and to learn more about how we can work together for the bright future for not only our two countries but for our hemisphere.”

Pelosi later said the Congressional delegation had a busy time in Mexico City. “We heard a sermon on the importance of workers in Mexico, a view we share. We’ve met with members of the American Chamber of Commerce. We had a very beneficial meeting with Director General Zapata on the subject of the economy and on the subject of TPP (trade pact) especially.

"And then we had a glorious meeting, a really very thorough exchange of subjects and views – again about our shared values and our shared border – with the President [of Mexico]......with Members of the Federal Deputies – Mexican Federal Deputies – and Senators. And in the evening we had a dinner meeting with the Mexican Foreign Minister,” Pelosi said.

=============================================

PELOSI DEMEANS AMERICAN CITIZENS WHILE ON MEXICAN SOIL
PELOSI SLAMS DONALD TRUMP TO MEXICAN OFFICIALS
(BEFORE TRUMP GOT THE NOM AND GOT ELECTED BY 63 MILLION AMERICANS)

CIRCA 2016----Pelosi in Mexico telling Mexican officials Trump is speaking to an "insecure minority,"
who maybe lost their job and think it was because of immigration, or trade. I think it's putting too much weight on all this."
" (Candidate) Trump only has one half of one half, 25%," Pelosi emphasized. (Trump won by 63 million votes)

==========================================

Pelosi wants borders open wide. She is working hard to get as many foreigners as she can into our country.
(The very survival of the Democrap party depends on open borders and illegals votes). It has been asserted that Democrats have their lawyers at the border to give foreigners legal advice WRT loopholes to get into the US.
