Julian Castro, a Democrat candidate for President in 2020 struggling to make a name for himself, pulled off a political stunt at the southern border that failed miserably.
Castro headed to the southern border near Brownsville, Texas on Monday, where he and a group of officials representing the Texas Civil Rights Project escorted migrants to border patrol agents in the hopes of having them released in the country pending process of their asylum claims.
The group of migrants allegedly were members of the LGBT community or disabled, according to Castro, some of whom had been “beat up.”
Thus, he thought they should be exempt from the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy until their cases could be adjudicated. Prior to this effective policy, migrants were released in the States, but instead, stay south of the border while that process plays out.
Castro filmed himself at the border discussing the humanitarian crisis he and his party just months ago were saying was a figment of the President’s imagination.

For Donald Trump, the cruelty is the point.
His immigration agenda has created the conditions on our border—conditions only bound to get worse. We are better than this. pic.twitter.com/Uq57Ubc8XZ

Castro then took the AOC route, claiming the administration was intentionally killing migrants.
“What I saw in across the border in Matamoros, Mexico is a national embarrassment – one entirely of Trump’s creation,” writes Castro. “Make no mistake: his agenda is killing people – and it’s on purpose.”
Actually, one could argue that by refusing to acknowledge the crisis, then refusing to provide funding for a border wall or working with the President in any manner, it is the Democrats who willfully allow people to die unnecessarily at the border.

The Texas Civil Rights Project confirmed that the stunt was a failure, as all of the migrants were sent back to Mexico.
“We just heard the terrible news that all 12 of our clients escorted by [Julian Castro] were sent back to Mexico. This is of course a mockery of due process,” they fretted.
“As soon as the reporters left to file their stories, CBP released the asylum seekers back into Mexico,” they explained.

When your best effort to raise the profile of your failed campaign is to traffic migrants into the country illegally and you fail miserably, maybe that’s the time to hang it up. After all, other Democrats break laws far more effectively than this.
This past summer, Castro was questioned by a woman who said an illegal immigrant stole her Social Security Number.
“He was caught and released on his own recognizance, and never to be heard from again,” she explained during a town hall event.
“Would you be willing to penalize offenders taking advantage of Americans by having them not released if they’re known to be illegal?” the woman asked.
Castro’s response? “Crime happens.”
It certainly does, and there’s video evidence above to show it. Human trafficking, illegal border crossing, lying to federal agents, are all on Castro’s resume now.
Such a failed, insignificant, no-name loser….Those Dems certainly do enjoy wasting the taxpayers money doing this same trek to the border time, after time, after time, after time NOW saying there are people being killed ON PURPOSE!! Three months ago the Dems were saying there wasn’t a problem at the border and everyone that was saying there is a problem was being called a liar….the Dems have ALWAYS had a problem with remembering what constitutes a lie as their truth is also a lie!!!
Keep up the/your EXCELLENT campaign strategy Jillian CAZZ-trow as your polling numbers are sizzling hot and smokin’!!!! HaHaHaHaHa – Better carry a fire extinguisher with you Jillian just to keep yourself safe!!!!!
He’s just doing his part for the Cartel bosses that own him. No Illegals coming in, no drugs coming in.
ISN’T HE THE ONE WHO WANTED TO PROVIDE ABORTIONS TO TRANSWOMEN? ha ha ha….THAT JOKER IS TOTALLY CLUELESS
Oh, and BTW Juan, it’s now LGBTTQQIAAP
(lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, ally, pan-sexual)
You don’t want to offend anyone, you may loose one of your 12 supporters!!
Another failed demmie candidate…bye bye
Castro is a fraud — but so are the other Dem candidates!
Anyone caught trying to smuggle or bring an illegal across the border can be immediately sent to pison. Why did they not arrested him?
“”When your best effort to raise the profile of your failed campaign is to traffic migrants into the country illegally and you fail miserably, maybe that’s the time to hang it up. After all, other Democrats break laws far more effectively than that”” Truer words have never been spoken
Where was all that wind coming from? I think I know.
Am I hearing this right, he’s representing not just minorities, but young minorities, annnnd there sick, annnnnd there also members of the LGBTQ community, oh annnnd there disabled.
My God, I was waiting to hear what other group they were part of, and how did he just “find” them, among ALL the 100’s of illegal aliens waiting( yeah, that’s right NYC, I said illegal aliens) we’re to believe he just “found” them. Give us a break!
“crime happens” and this is why he should be in jail.
low T Nancy boy.
I’m sure at least one of those he escorted had felony warrants either from here or the nation they came from, so Castro is guilty of aiding and abetting a known felon. He should be arrested.
That’s what happens to the delusional.
He should be jailed immediately. Anyone not arresting him is a traitor.
When they think they have all the answers, they find out they know nothing. That’s what being a dem is all about.

Send him back to Cuba !!
Should be arrested for aiding and abetting. Clear violation of the law, and he should be deported with them.
they should have sent him back with them
