Members of the Michigan Freedom Caucus held a press conference on Wednesday after three of their members traveled to the U.S. southern border last week to observe and report on the unprecedented flooding of migrants allowed by the Biden regime.
Reps. Steve Carra (R-Three Rivers), Matt Maddock (R-Milford), and Neil Friske (R-Charlevoix) traveled to the U.S. southern border last week where they observed the disastrous situation first hand. They held a press conference with Freedom Caucus colleague Rep. Jim DeSana (R-Ash Township) where they described what they saw occurring at the border.
“A lot of the more dangerous people…are people coming from places other than Mexico. Whether it’s Venezuela, Colombia, the Middle East, people are coming from 140-150 different countries using Mexico as their direction to come through across the border down there,” said Carra, who is the Chairman of the Michigan Freedom Caucus.
Carra blamed the welfare state for “incentivizing” the flood of dangerous migrants across the border. They played clips at the press conference of former Democrat Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton calling for stronger border policies.
“We saw the aftermath of what I call a giant crime scene,” Maddock said, describing the piles of debris around the border. “When we started asking questions about this federal processing center, we had people come out with guns… They were rather intimidating when we started asking questions.”
“There is a lot of human trafficking going on currently. We want to enforce our laws. We don’t want to create sanctuary cities or sanctuary counties where people can be free from our laws,” DeSana said.
“We didn’t go down there for a bunch of photo ops and to rub elbows with a bunch of who’s who’s… Unfortunately, I don’t see that anybody really wants this situation to end. There is so much money involved in it,” Friske said, noting that this is a huge problem in Michigan because illegals are being bussed into cities all over the state.
Even while this border invasion is occurring, the Michigan State House is more concerned with cracking down on people who are talking frankly about the disaster. An overwhelming bipartisan majority passed a resolution on Wednesday to chide Rep. Josh Schriver (R-Oxford) for exposing the replacement agenda behind the flooding of the border.
The Michigan House votes to condemn the use of racist, xenophobic, antisemitic, islamaphobic and white supremacist language by members.

Just to be clear. These five men are not racist, THEY ARE BRAVE. This was always about shaming josh for a retweet and bullying him because they hate his awesome voting record and dems want to keep their majority by inventing a fake issue. pic.twitter.com/6kavE0MBUD

The Michigan Freedom Caucus is calling for the National Guard to be deployed at the border by Michigan and other states in order to stop the “Democrat border invasion.”
