Bachmann at the
Border: ‘Bills Don’t Stop the Problem’
Josh Siegel
July 31, 2014
Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., traveled to the Texas border with
Mexico last weekend to get a close-up look of the border crisis. In an
exclusive on-camera interview with The Daily Signal, Bachmann describes
what she saw, supported by video and photos that she shot with her
iPhone.
Among images Bachmann caught on video during her “eye-opening” visit
with Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa: Smugglers, called coyotes, bringing a
pregnant woman across the Rio Grande.
Bachmann would not say how she would vote on the House’s $659 million
emergency spending plan for the border, on which action is expected
today. A larger solution is needed, she said, because President
Obama is “giving lawless direction… and failing to enforce border
protection whatsoever.”
“The bills in front of Congress don’t stop the problem,” Bachmann said.
“The kindest, most compassionate thing we can do is to build our fence,
secure the border for the safety of the American people, deport people
immediately on the spot, and tax [their] remittances. We gotta protect
our people.”
Patrick Frank, a contributor to The Daily Signal, produced the video.
