Democrats in border town fed up with illegal immigration that Democrats in Washington refuse to do anything about

Daily Caller:
The Democratic mayor of a border town in Texas says more federal politicians need to journey to the U.S.-Mexico border to see just how bad the illegal immigration crisis has become.

Mayor Bruno Lozano of Del Rio, Texas told Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn’s office that “we are sick and tired of the deaf ears” that accounts of the border crisis seem to fall upon, Fox News reported Tuesday.

Lozano suggested that the federal government has left border towns hanging out to dry as they try to cope with the influx of illegal immigrants who apparently cross the border, are temporarily detained and then released. He said it’s easy to ignore the situation when politicians are isolated in Washington. (RELATED: Trump: ICE Will Remove Millions Of Illegal Immigrants From The US)

“They need to see firsthand what’s going on. They need to understand the frustrations that the commissioners, or that the city council, the school board, the hospital officials are managing [and] having to deal with,” Lozano said, according to Fox’s account of the meeting between the mayor and Cornyn’s staffers.

The mayor said the small towns can’t cope with large immigration problems because “it is not our purview; it is not our jurisdiction.”

“We’re frustrated. We’re extremely frustrated,” he continued. “Our priorities on the city council are our streets, are our parks, are the economy, are the drive of the community and the places of worship and the places to have leisure activities. It is not the priority to solve immigration.”

But he said Washington doesn’t seem to be listening. “It’s falling on deaf ears, and we are tired of it. We are sick and tired of the deaf ears.”

The deaf ears are all on the Democrat side of the aisle.  The Democrat leadership refuses to do anything to stop the illegal migration and they are aided and abetted by Democrat appointed judges who make ridiculous rulings that handicap the Border Patrol.  Lozano and other Democrat elected officials on the border need to keep speaking out on the failure of Congress to do anything about the crisis on the border.
