Victor Avila is a former federal agent and is now running for TX-23 US Representative.
“I want to get into what’s going on at the border,” began Joe Pags. “On average, do you go once a week?”
“I’ve been there once every other week or so,” explained Avila. “Now, there are a large number of people who don’t speak Spanish. They’re coming from Syria, China, Bangladesh, Russia, and a bunch of others.”
“They’re not asylum seekers. They told me that they’re coming to the United States to get a job, to make money. They told me they’re not being persecuted by their government. They just want to come here,” he added.
