Charlie Dent on Migrant Crisis: ‘Frankly, Both Parties Have a Lot To Be Blamed for in This Situation’

RUSH EXCERPT:

DENT: “Well, wolf, I served on homeland security committee tor six years and I could say this, this is a political stunt to be sure. But it is highlighting a point. The immigration system is broken. There are a lot of people coming into the country unlawfully and many are seeking asylum and many are not legitimate asylum cases. But the point is the immigration system is broken. They need to deal with the dreamers, they need to make sure that their adequate detention beds and immigration judges, to process these things. There isn’t infrastructure at the border to deal with this. These people have to be delt with humanely and be fair. The office of refugee resettlement routinely will send migrants from the border up into the interior of the country like it did in my district in Pennsylvania. We often housed refugees. I don’t agree with the way they’re doing this. Some of the governors. But they are making a point. They need help from Washington. To fix this system, once and for all. And frankly both parties have a lot to be blamed for in this situation.”
