“[The illegal immigrants are] coming in here, just turning themselves in and assuming that they’re going to be granted some kind of permission. They call it [“con permiso”] to be able to come in here. Quite honestly, it’s because we’ve given a signal by the President’s actions that this is something that would happen… All you have to do is, you know, jump in with the smugglers and get smuggled up here and you’ll be in business. You’ll get to be in the United States, safe and sound, and all will be well. It’s contrary to our laws, [and] its contrary to the rule of law in the United States.” 

Congressman John Carter (TX-31) tackles the tough issue of immigration and explains how the new border crisis is a result of President Obama’s unwillingness to enforce the law.
