Gohmert Adds Further Comment on Trump’s Border Decision

TYLER — Congressman Louie Gohmert of Tyler follows up on some comments he released Wednesday evening in favor of President Trump’s plan to send troops to the Mexican border. Noting that such actions have been taken before, Gohmert singled out Woodrow Wilson, who did likewise in the early 20th century during the era of revolutionary Pancho Villa. Gohmert also comments that the border needs to be secured — not sealed. He told KTBB, “We need to have people coming in. It’s a good thing to have immigration, but it has got to be lawful — and there’s the distinction.”
