Gohmert Upset over Immigrant Case Rulings

WASHINGTON — The Department of Homeland Security is reviewing thousands of pending immigration cases. Officials say they are moving to dismiss cases on those filed against suspected illegal immigrants who have no serious criminal records. Many are disappointed with the action, including Tyler Congressman Louie Gohmert.
According to Gohmert, the action is devastating to those who follow the rules by trying to bring loved ones here legally. “It is also a position that tells the world we are not exerting our sovereignty as a nation. It says to the potential billion or more people who would like to come here to do so illegally and get our welfare, our healthcare, and our benefits that taxpayers are funding, because even if you get caught here illegally, this administration has decided that there will be no consequences. This utter disregard for the rule of law
is so hurtful to people of every race, gender, religion, and national origin who have worked so hard to follow the law. It also moves us ever closer to being like those countries which immigrants are fleeing because of their disregard for the rule of law.”
