Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, warns that the United States will become a third world nation if the federal government does not enforce its immigration laws.<\/p>\n
Speaking to \u201cThe Sean Hannity Show,\u201d the Republican lawmaker said the country will be destroyed if the U.S. continues to allow thousands of immigrants to cross the border illegally.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve got to follow the law. You cannot bring hundreds of thousands of people in this country without destroying the country,\u201d Gohmert told Hannity. \u201cThen there\u2019s no place that people can dream about coming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gohmert stated that it\u2019s the government\u2019s job to defend the U.S. \u201cagainst anybody that would overwhelm the country and bring it down.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always been such an irony, though, that people would flee a country that\u2019s got \u2026 drug cartels, people that ignore the law, or bribe people to look the other way,\u201d Gohmert said. \u201cSo they don\u2019t have jobs there so they come to the United States because we\u2019ve mostly been a nation of laws where the rule of law matters. But then once they are here, they say now we want you to ignore the rule of law, which ironically is like the country they came from.\u201d<\/p>\n
