The Looney Left Report
This'll go over very well with Texas voters.
The Washington Free Beacon reported:
Crossing the border illegally should no longer be a criminal matter, three Texas Democrats running for national office said over the weekend.
Senate candidate Rob O'Rourke, gubernatorial candidate Lupa Valdez, and House candidate Veronica Escobar all backed the proposal, the Huffington Post reports.
Illegally crossing the border is currently a criminal act under federal law, with an associated fine and maximum of six months jail time for the first offense. The Trump administration took advantage of this fact in its "zero tolerance" policy, which required U.S. Attorneys in the border states to charge every violator criminally, rather than waiving prosecution and immediately deporting.
To Escobar, who is expected to win a House seat in El Paso, the case for decriminalizing comes down to not treating immigration as a crime.
There doesn't seem to be any limit on how loony the Democrats will get.
