O'Rourke: Assign Case Managers to Asylum-Seekers to Make Sure They Appear in Court
(CNSNews.com) - "Most asylum-seekers pose no threat or danger to the United States," Robert "Beto" O'Rourke told CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday.
He was explaining why he would release asylum-seekers into U.S. communities, after assigning government employees to monitor their cases.
"We know from past history that when we connect them with case managers in a community, they have a 99-percent chance of meeting their court dates and their appointments with ICE. In other words, we do a better job helping them to follow our laws when they have case managers in the community, and it costs us a tenth of what we pay to keep them in detention and in custody," O'Rourke said.
