LULAC Responds to Texas Sheriff Bill Waybourn’s Comments Calling Migrants “Drunks
Who Would Run Over Your Children”
=================================================================================
Washington, DC – Today, Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn delivered remarks
during a White House press briefing about border security, calling immigrants
"drunks who would run over your children." Domingo Garcia, LULAC National
President, issued the following statement in response to Waybourn’s comments:
“It is appalling that a man with a badge and gun like Sheriff Waybourn would make
such ignorant and twisted racist statements influenced by his far right-wing
ideology. We know that in Texas, the data shows that native-born residents are
much more likely to be convicted of a crime than immigrants. This sheriff needs
to resign and apologize for his bigoted comments immediately. The domestic
terrorist attacks in El Paso and Gilroy have shown that this rhetoric can have
deadly consequences."
