YUMA, Ariz. — Congressional Republicans who toured part of the southern border this week saw firsthand the number of families and children arriving.

But the House lawmakers were shocked at the idea that smugglers recycle children across the border.
“I think the entire delegation was shocked,” said Luke Ball, press secretary for Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla.

The Washington Examiner was riding along with Reps. John Joyce of Pennsylvania, Pete Stauber of Minnesota, Dusty Johnson of South Dakota, Andy Biggs of Arizona, and Gaetz Tuesday night when officials leading the tour pointed to a group of more than 40 people who had just crossed through the Colorado River south of the Morelos Dam and surrendered to Border Patrol agents less than a quarter-mile into the U.S.
“Right now, they’re getting their biographical information: name, first name, last name, date of birth, nationality. Right now, they may ask them where they’re going — how many people, if it was a family unit, were they by themselves, were they minors?” an agent, who spoke on background, told the group of lawmakers.
“Every one has a kid, at least one. Every one has a kid,” one congressman reacted at the scene...

This isn't new.  Kirstjen Nielson had reported this before.  This shouldn't be happening when they already have knowledge of it.  And I would say if they think that taking finger prints of children is worse than allowing human trafficking of children then law is upside down.

The D party may have more frauds, hustlers and corruption;
although it's a close call.
But the R's win hands down when it comes to ignorance,
stupidity and plain assholery.
So they're shocked children are being recycled??? SHOCKED!
Bet they also think these caravans of trash are spontaneous
rather than rigorously organized???

Yes, reading stories like this it makes a person wonder why can't our government stop this?  Useless is right.

They are intimidated. They don't want to be accused of being racist. Say what one will about Ryan or Boehner, the last speakers of the house, they were NOT good by any stretch but the Republican majority seemed to have some stones.

They recycle children at the Welfare office, too.

The only shocking thing is that the Congress Critters are just now discovering for themselves what we've been hearing about for years.

But telling them that they are trafficking children through your back yard is just "anecdotal" and not real evidence if you don't have a PhD in demographic studies and publications to your credit in the peer review journals in your field....so, oops, not credible, circular file.

I have seen it before in other topics.
