Report: Dem rep secretly sends staff to Mexico to coach illegals how to beat the system

Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) secretly sends staff to Mexico to locate and coach migrants who are trying to enter the US. These illegal aliens are being instructed on how to "exploit a loophole" to game the asylum process, as alleged by a number of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials.

The Washington Examiner reports that they have been told by the National Border Patrol Council's El Paso chapter as well as several CBP agents, that Escobar's staff tries to locate migrants that have been sent back to Mexico from El Paso, Texas "under the 'remain in Mexico' policy, then coaching them to pretend they cannot speak Spanish to exploit a loophole letting them return to the U.S." By 'claim' they mean 'lie.'

A senior union official shared evidence supporting their claims with the Examiner and said, “What we believe is happening is Veronica Escobar’s office is going … to basically second-guess and obstruct work already done by the Border Patrol.”

It seems plausible that instructing others to lie to government officials to gain illegal entry back into the United States is against the law. Perhaps Escobar should be prosecuted on those grounds, but I am not a lawyer, so I leave that to the experts.

Loopholes need to be fixed but people who use deception to get around the system with the loopholes need to be held lawfully accountable.
