Gonzales, who represents a large border district in Texas, said the emphasis should be on protecting legal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho gets hurt in this is people that have legal claims,\u201d Gonzales said. \u201cImmigration reform gets further and further behind when we only focus on the illegal part.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gonzales said the Biden administration should act to send a \u201csurge\u201d of immigration judges to the southern border, as a pileup of asylum claims have led to years-long wait times on court dates. Gonzales, who visited border facilities over the weekend, said he saw wait times as long as eight years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat person should get their case heard in days, not years,\u201d Gonzales said. \u201cThis is America. Get your day in court. If you do not qualify for asylum\u2026 you get sent back to your country of origin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gonzales also criticized Republican calls for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to be impeached, saying it was easy for public officials to pass the blame to others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou see career politicians blame somebody else, it\u2019s always somebody else\u2019s fault and not them,\u201d Gonzales said. \u201cRight now, the light is shining on Secretary Mayorkas. This is all of our problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
