The ongoing migrant crisis has prompted a controversial move by Texas Democrats, who are distributing ‘Know Your Rights’ cards to illegal immigrants. These cards, handed out by Rep. Colin Allred, the Democratic nominee in the Texas Senate race, provide instructions on how to avoid law enforcement and potential deportation.
The cards advise undocumented individuals not to open their doors or answer questions from immigration agents. They also instruct immigrants to refuse signing any documents and to ask if they are free to leave if approached by agents outside their homes.
Allred’s distribution of these cards has raised concerns among Republicans, who accuse him of supporting illegal immigration. Allred has a history of voting against stronger border security measures and reportedly missed a House vote on this issue recently.
Meanwhile, Project H.O.O.D founder Pastor Corey Brooks has expressed his diminished trust in government due to the allocation of city resources towards migrants. He believes that the government has neglected the needs of its citizens in favor of providing aid to undocumented individuals.
The Texas border is facing a significant influx of illegal immigrants under President Joe Biden’s immigration policies. The distribution of ‘Know Your Rights’ cards by Texas Democrats has added to the controversy surrounding the handling of the migrant crisis.
