To those that don't know, there is an ongoing influx of immigrants being shipped into this country and the border patrol is being made to be the escorts into the country from way south. There's even reports of actual human trafficking being done in a lucrative fashion by the drug cartels in Mexico.
Art IV, Sec IV of the US Constitution:
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a
Republican Form of Government,
and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened)
A Health and Human Services official refused to allow a member of Congress to enter a facility in his district where some of the unaccompanied immigrant children are being housed.
Representative Jim Bridenstine (R., Okla.) was told he could schedule an appointment for July 21. “What are they trying to hide?” Bridenstine said after the incident. “Do they not want the children to speak with Members of Congress? As a Navy pilot, I have been involved in operations countering illicit human trafficking. I would like to know to whom these children are being released.”
There are 1,200 immigrant children at the base. Bridenstine’s office explained that HHS releases the children to a “sponsor” in the United States. The congressman said that a security guard at the Fort Sill, Okla., facility refused to let him enter the barracks without HHS approval even though he is a member of Congress.
“There is no excuse for denying a Federal Representative from Oklahoma access to a federal facility in Oklahoma where unaccompanied children are being held,” Bridenstine said in the press release. ”Any Member of Congress should have the legal authority to visit a federal youth detention facility without waiting three weeks.”
Bridenstine is one of the best libertarian leaning Congressman on the Hill and might be doing a Senate run some time into the future.
