Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) must have missed the memo that he's running for President of the United States. O'Rourke, for whatever reason, is campaigning in Mexico. Again, did he not know he's running for President of the United States and not President of Mexico?
According to the Associated Press, O'Rourke plants to head to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico to meet with so-called asylum seekers who must wait in Mexico while their application is processed. Ciudad Juarez sits right across the Rio Grande River from El Paso, O'Rourke's hometown.
The goal of the trip, according to O'Rourke's campaign, is to meet with “individuals and families directly impacted by Donald Trump’s cruel and inhumane policies" and “shed light on the desperate circumstances those who are seeking asylum and refuge are fleeing, and the conditions these families and individuals are forced to endure when they’ve been turned away from our borders.”
O'Rourke is supposed to meet with illegal aliens, primarily from the Northern Triangle countries of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, CNN reported.
"In all of the debate around immigration, we can't forget who it impacts most: the people traveling thousands of miles, fleeing the worst kind of violence and oppression," O'Rourke said in a statement. "Turning away refugees, families and asylum seekers is not who we are as a country. But as long as Donald Trump is president -- it will be."
Team Beto also plans to hold a "Rally for the Children" outside of the Border Patrol Station in Clint, Texas.
Here's how the event is being billed on his campaign website:
Join Beto to speak out against the cruel, dangerous and inhumane treatment of immigrant children being held at the Clint Border Patrol station as a direct result of Donald Trump’s policies.
The conditions reported at the Clint Border Patrol station housing migrant children are so unsafe and unsanitary that it’s been declared a “public health emergency.” These children deserve respect, dignity, and humane living conditions. Moving them out of these facilities quickly, providing them adequate shelter and support, and uniting them with family members immediately should be this administration’s top priority.
Last year, on Father’s Day, Beto led a march to raise awareness about the mistreatment and detention of children at the Tornillo facility in El Paso who had been separated from their families. He continued to return to the camp until all of the children were successfully released and the facility was shut down.
Folks should be prepared for the heat - please bring water, a hat, and dress for the weather.
O'Rourke has positioned himself as the "expert" on immigration issues because of his experience growing up right along the United States-Mexico border. Instead of enforcing our immigration laws, O'Rourke, however, wants illegal aliens currently in the country to have a "pathway to citizenship." The Democratic hopeful's immigration proposal includes sending $5 billion to improve conditions in the Northern Triangle and deploying thousands of lawyers to the southern border to help process asylum cases.
This is one of the greatest examples of political pandering. O'Rourke is running for President of the United States, not Mexico. Yes, it's important to get an idea of what's taking place on our southern border. Yes, it's important to hear what our Border Patrol agents and those on the front line have to say. But what's ridiculous is a presidential candidate meeting with those who knowingly break our law to see how he could help those people, should he secure the nomination, and ultimately, the White House.
Talk about divided loyalty.
Scumbaggery.
(not ‘audacity’)
Revoke his passport while he's in Mexico.
Let him try to live off of remittances.
Let me get this straight, Democrats can campaign in foreign countries, and that’s not collusion, but....
Has he perfected his Irish brogue so he can use it when he's down in Mexico?
[ Well, That’s Different: Beto Is Campaigning For POTUS...In Mexico ]
Democrats - BEYOND obvious
They care about foreigners MUCH more than American citizens. They just need idiots in America to vote for them.
Just like Jeb! Boosh.
Well, maybe in Mexico someone will listen to him.
The last gasp of a presidential campaign at its end. The MSM has crowned so many potential nominees in the past year only to see them crash and burn.
So he goes to a foreign country to tell them that he will make it easier for them to leave their home country to escape violence and oppression and go to the USA.
What an insult to the government of Mexico!
“Hey Mexicans! Your country sucks! I’ll make it easier for you to escape to the USA.”
He is just going direct to the source of future voters.
Only a matter of time until the Democrats demand polling places all over Latin America.
Why not overseas, across the border?
That’s where the democrat voters and donors are.
Aren’t they all campaigning in mexico?
Shouldn’t Irish Bob be campaigning in the Emerald Isles?
The goal of the trip, according to O’Rourke’s campaign, is to meet with “individuals and families directly impacted... .................. and have them fill out voter registration forms????
“...These children deserve respect, dignity, and humane living conditions. Moving them out of these facilities quickly, providing them adequate shelter and support, and uniting them with family members immediately should be this administration’s top priority.”
Also, shouldn’t you be out drunk driving and pretending to be a Mexico anyhow? Jerk.
Beto O'Rourke's upcoming trip to Mexico is billed as the first foreign trip by a presidential candidate this election.
Beto was also in Mexico sucking up votes as a Senate candidate.
A 2016 Congressional delegation to Mexico on the taxpayers' dime led by Speaker Pelosi included suckup Democrat Reps:
<><> Norma Torres, Lucille Roybal-Allard,
<><> Pete Aguilar and Linda Sanchez (Calif.);
<><> Senate candidate then-Cong Beto O'Rourke and Henry Cuellar (Texas);
<><> Ruben Gallego (Ariz.); Michelle Lujan Grisham (N.M.).
SCHADENFREUD Beto sucked-up bigtime for latino votes....but still lost his Texas race against Cruz.

PELOSI PLEDGES HER UNDYING LOYALTY TO MEXICO--demeans American citizens and Trump to Mexican officials
In 2016 Nancy brought a Congressional delegation to Mexico City to meet with Mexican dignitaries. Pelosi told the Mexican president and his entourage: “We come here as a bipartisan and large delegation to express our respect for the people of Mexico and the country of Mexico; to acknowledge our shared border and our shared values and to learn more about how we can work together for the bright future for not only our two countries but for our hemisphere.”
Pelosi later said the Congressional delegation had a busy time in Mexico City. “We heard a sermon on the importance of workers in Mexico, a view we share. We’ve met with members of the American Chamber of Commerce. We had a very beneficial meeting with Director General Zapata on the subject of the economy and on the subject of TPP (trade pact) especially.
"And then we had a glorious meeting, a really very thorough exchange of subjects and views – again about our shared values and our shared border – with the President [of Mexico]......with Members of the Federal Deputies – Mexican Federal Deputies – and Senators. And in the evening we had a dinner meeting with the Mexican Foreign Minister,” Pelosi said.
=============================================
PELOSI DEMEANS AMERICAN CITIZENS WHILE ON MEXICAN SOIL
PELOSI SLAMS DONALD TRUMP TO MEXICAN OFFICIALS
(BEFORE TRUMP GOT THE NOM AND GOT ELECTED BY 63 MILLION AMERICANS)
CIRCA 2016----Pelosi in Mexico telling Mexican officials Trump is speaking to an "insecure minority,"
who maybe lost their job and think it was because of immigration, or trade. I think it's putting too much weight on all this."
" (Candidate) Trump only has one half of one half, 25%," Pelosi emphasized. (Trump won by 63 million votes)
==========================================
Pelosi wants borders open wide. She is working hard to get as many foreigners as she can into our country.
(The very survival of the Democrap party depends on open borders and illegals votes). It has been asserted that Democrats have their lawyers at the border to give foreigners legal advice WRT loopholes to get into the US.
It's all about self interest in the swamp. Republicans aren't a heck of a lot different, although the R's elevation of self over country just happens to be less poisonous, or tends to taste less bad. Then again, sipping antifreeze kills just as well as eating borax.
