Cole, Lankford Outline Immigration Concerns
Oklahoma’s Cole, Lankford blame Obama for border, immigration woes
by Silas Allen, The Oklahoman
MIDWEST CITY — A day after the first wave of unaccompanied immigrant children began arriving at Fort Sill, U.S. Rep. Tom Cole blamed President Barack Obama for the predicament.
Speaking to a group of journalists and publishers Saturday, Cole, R-Moore, said Obama had failed to stanch the flow of people, including unaccompanied children, entering the country illegally across the U.S.-Mexico border.
“This is not a humanitarian crisis,” Cole said. “This is a policy failure.”
Fort Sill is expected to house as many as 1,200 immigrant minors who were caught at the U.S. border while trying to flee Central American countries. The children will be housed on the grounds at Fort Sill as they go through the deportation process. Workers will try to reunite the children with their families or find them a sponsor.
Cole & Lucas are a joke.
They BOTH voted last week AGAINST an amendment on the Transportation bill that would HAVE STOPPED HOUSING WELFARE FOR IA’S…..bought & paid for pols.
