In TV interview, Dan Patrick blames Democrats for immigrant deaths in San Antonio
Source: Austin American Statesman
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, in a TV interview with Fox News on Tuesday, pinned the deaths of 10 undocumented immigrants who were found inside a tractor-trailer in San Antonio on Democrat policies.
Patrick called the case a horrendous tragedy that should never happen in America, but blamed the Democrat policies of today, of an open border and sanctuary cities (that) allows and enables these drug smugglers who dont care about human life to put people in this horrific situation.
Patricks statements run counter to long-running arguments made by immigration reform advocates, who say the nations cumbersome and restrictive immigration policies encourage such smuggling efforts.
Its at least the second time in three days that Patrick has made the controversial claim.
