Excerpt:
Bensman: “A major issue is that it’s almost impossible to vet these people to see if they’re already criminals coming in. This month and last month, we had 40,000 gotaways. These are people who were not apprehended at all. They just skipped right through our thinning membrane of Border Patrol defense into the interior of the country. We have no idea who they are. And even the ones who are showing up and turning themselves in so that they can get the freebies… we don’t know who they are, coming from Haiti and Cuba. We don’t know if they’re coming out of the prison systems or what. We will be, unfortunately, generating more angel moms. This is a sad reality. I’ve met angel moms. I’ve interviewed them. I’ve delved into the cases and it’s truly awful what’s going on with that, truly awful and ma’am I’m truly sorry for your loss.”
