Biden’s AG Pick, Merrick Garland, Just Refused To Say Illegal Border Crossings Are A Crime. Says He “Hadn’t Thought About It.”
National Pulse | 02/22/2021 | Natalie WintersWhen pressed by Senators on the legality of illegal border crossings, President Biden’s Attorney General nominee Merrick Garland revealed he “hadn’t thought about it.”
“Just a fundamental question. Do you believe that illegal entry at America’s borders should remain a crime,” Senator Dick Durbin asked.
Garland replied: “Well, I haven’t thought about that question. I just haven’t thought about that question.”
“I think, you know, the president had made clear that we are a country with borders and with a concern about national security. I don’t know of a proposal to decriminalize but still make it unlawful to enter. I just don’t know the answer to that question – I haven’t thought about it,” he adds.
I wish the source was the Babylon Bee.
“I think, you know, the president had made clear that we are a country with borders and with a concern about national security. We just don’t give a s**t about illegal aliens entering this country.”
Senator, if you don’t want something to remain a federal crime, shouldn’t the Senate repeal the law that makes it one?
He’s just distracted making sure those infernal Light Warriors don’t rescue Princess Sara.
To be fair liberals have been claiming for years that it was not a crime to illegally enter the US, especially so if it happens at night. Garland already believes a crime cannot occur if it is past 6 in the evening. Probably why we also get Corona curfews.
Maybe he thinks he’s still auditioning for the Supreme Court, where the contemporary strategy is to claim not to have a pre-existing opinion about anything
