Congressman Returns From Central America With The Truth
Posted on 28 July, 2014 by clyde
As the only member of Congress to serve in both Vietnam and Iraq, Rep. Kerry Bentivolio, R-Mich., knows what a dysfunctional country looks like. He has seen his share of suffering an squalor during 27 years of service in the U.S. Army and National Guard, and after evacuating from the surge in Iraq in 2007 with a neck wound.
Yesterday Bentivolio had just returned from a three-day fact-finding trip to Central America to see the source of the immigration crisis for himself.
The congressman told WND that conditions in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador are certainly not great and there is much hardship, but they are not war zones.
As for the recent avalanche of immigrants? “I really wouldn’t call them refugees,” said Bentivolio. He noted, “Our kids are facing similar problems. We have to put our own house in order first.”
The congressman said the children he saw in Central America do indeed have dangerous schools in dangerous cities and have few job prospects. But so do many children in the United States. He seemed particularly moved by what he saw in El Salvador, the poorest of the three countries he visited. And it was not hard to understand at all why they want to seek a better life up north.
“They say the immigrants are leaving because of few job opportunities. Well, look what is happening here,” he said, referring to the record number of Americans, 92,120,000 in June, who did not participate in the labor force.
But Bentivolio felt the sudden surge seemed of immigrants was instigated by President Obama’s decision to stop deporting minors in the country illegally. The immigration problem really boils down to this, said Bentivolio: “Democrats want the votes, and the Republicans want the cheap labor.”
