All 15 members of HomelandDems will boycott a congressional trip to the US-Mexico border this week on the basis that it was a political move by the GOP to overstate the border issue. Chairman RepMarkGreen said it was 'disappointing' for them 'to bail.'
The House Homeland Security Committee's 15 Democratic members will skip traveling to South Texas and will not be attending a two-panel hearing led by Republican leadership Wednesday morning.“After careful consideration, Committee Democrats have decided not to participate in the Republicans’ field hearing this week," said Rep. Bennie Thompson in a statement to the Washington Examiner.
Green criticized Democrats for inviting a witness of their choice, then abandoning that witness with their refusal to attend the hearing. That person, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official, is still slated to attend the hearing. The boycott follows the example of Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee, who refused to travel down to the southern border for a hearing in late February.
