Louie Gohmert: “So it would seem to reasonable people, reasonable minds would think that, if El Salvador is costing America a huge hunk…”

“So it would seem to reasonable people, reasonable minds would think that, if El Salvador is costing America a huge hunk of what the President says needs to be $3.7 billion to deal with the crisis that El Salvador is helping cause, then perhaps we ought to stop sending them money when they are costing us even more money. So let's get this right. We are paying El Salvador to cost us billions of dollars in return. That doesn't seem to be a very good investment. How about Guatemala? Gee, fiscal year 2014 has had $65,249,000 appropriated to be given to Guatemala, and I have been down to the border in recent weeks and heard people say they were coming from Guatemala. Of course, they don't say, ``We are coming from violence.'' Violence seems to be down, certainly not up. It is certainly not spiking, so it makes it clear that the reason that there is a huge spike in people rushing to America is because this Obama administration is making clear to Central America and South America that, if you come, you get to stay. Why? Because they are not interested in what words politicians are saying here in Washington. They are more interested in what those politicians in the Obama administration are doing, and what they are doing is allowing hundreds of thousands of people to stay in America once they get here illegally. For fiscal year 2015, apparently, this administration thinks that Guatemala is costing America what this administration says is a need for billions of dollars.…”
