Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) told Breitbart News that Hispanic Americans are favored targets of identity theft for illegal aliens originating from Mexico and Central America.
Breitbart News Deputy Political Editor Amanda House asked Buck about politicians opposed to border security and American sovereignty.
“It’s absolutely essential that we find a way to shut down that border, and only let people into this country that we want in, and only let things into that we want. I think the Democrats – this idea of having an open border, when we are a very generous society – we have problems in my home state in the areas of education, and health care, and criminal justice as a result of too many people that don’t accept our culture, don’t speak our language, don’t share our values in our country,” said Buck, a former prosecutor.
“There are a number of areas that culturally, we are different than rural areas of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. The idea, in parts of those countries, that a 45-year-old man could marry a 12-year-old girl is just not something that is unacceptable, and it obviously is in this country,” Buck added.
“Frankly, if they’re not coming into this country legally, we should not have to spend the money and the time and the effort to do that,” Buck concluded.
