How long did it take you to get here? Why did you come?\u2019 And to a person they said, \u2018I came to get a job,\u2019 or, \u2018I came to get together with my husband or my wife or my boyfriend or girlfriend who\u2019s here and has a job.\u2019 Not a single person claimed a genuine claim of asylum,\u201d Cotton explained.<\/p>\n<p>Cotton went on to criticize the Biden administration for preaching an open border message to migrants, filling them with false hope.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing moral and there\u2019s nothing virtuous about Joe Biden\u2019s rhetoric and policies that have induced these young women and these young children to make a very dangerous journey across almost 2,000 miles of Mexico to get our border on the hope that they will be admitted into our country and given legal status permanently,\u201d Cotton said. \u201cThat\u2019s simply not the case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, GOP lawmakers are pushing for a congressional hearing on the crisis at the southern border, to have officials from the White House testify over their handling of the situation.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/two-minneapolis-police-officers-testify-in-derek-chauvin-trial\/\">Two Minneapolis Police Officers Testify In Derek Chauvin Trial<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young minors spoke to an agent outside at a pod in the Donna Department of Homeland Security holding facility, the main detention center for unaccompanied children in the Rio Grande &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2311604,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fb_image-436.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"Report: CBP data shows number of migrant detentions hits 15-year high","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-382846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fb_image-436.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"Report: CBP data shows number of migrant detentions hits 15-year high","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=382846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382846\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2311604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=382846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=382846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=382846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
