MJ Hegar’s trip to Del Rio and Laredo tomorrow ought to be an apology tour. She has made villainizing our border patrol, abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and shutting down immigration detention centers a regular part of her stump speech. 

In June, MJ told a group: "When we are committing human rights violations on our southern border, not only is it immoral, but it's also impacting our ability to have influence globally. … We cannot lecture China on their treatment of the Uyghurs. … We cannot start looking like the countries and the governments that we are supposed to be the opposite of" (Cornyn Challenger Equates U.S. Border Policies to Chinese Concentration Camps).

Hegar has taken her talking points directly from national Democrats like New York Senator Chuck Schumer -- who no one considers to be an expert on border issues -- with the goal of painting immigration authorities as evil human rights abusers. Senator Cornyn knows that’s not true. 

On her quick photo op on the border this Sunday, we think MJ owes an apology to the:

• 1,500 Border Patrol staff in the Del Rio Sector who are responsible for preventing drug and human smugglers from crossing along 245 miles of the Rio Grande River and Lake Amistad that forms the border between the U.S. and Mexico. The Del Rio Sector covers 47 counties, equating to 55,063 square miles of Texas, and reaches 300 miles into Texas from the U.S.-Mexico border. 
  
  
• 1,800 Border Patrol in Laredo, whose mission is to “prevent terrorists and terrorist weapons from entering the United States, as well as continuing its traditional mission of preventing illegal aliens, smugglers, narcotics, and other contraband from entering the country.” The Laredo Sector protects 171 miles of America’s Southwest border, stretching from the U.S./Mexico border in Texas to the Oklahoma and Arkansas state lines; and provides $80 million in salaries 
  
  
• 1,950 U.S. CBP—Customs Field Officers in Laredo
  
  
• 198 folks in Del Rio who supervise and care for those who came crossed our border illegally and are awaiting their court hearing

MJ says these Texans are human rights abusers… the same as the Communist Chinese agents committing genocide. 

With 3 days left until Election Day, it’s time to make sure Texas voters know exactly what MJ thinks of those who work along our border.
