Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) said on Monday that entering the United States illegally must have consequences or criminals will continue to exploit the system and profit from smuggling and transporting illegal immigrants across the southern border.
In Laredo, Texas, the senator met with a group of mayors, county judges, and community leaders to discuss how this crisis is impacting them. He said they discussed the “mess of the immigration courts, which have a backlog of 1.2 million cases.”
