Democratic candidate Cory Booker causes controversy by helping immigrants return to the U.S.

Daily Mail

Democratic Presidential candidate Cory Booker has caused controversy by crossing into Mexico to escort deported asylum seekers back over the border.

The Senator, 50, visited the Mexican border city Ciudad Juarez from El Paso, Texas, to help five women who had previously been sent back to Mexico. 

He was joined by immigration rights attorneys and advocates to get the women, who are fleeing domestic violence, admitted back into the US.

However, he has been accused of breaking the law by critics who claimed he violated legislation which prohibits ‘bringing or attempting to bring unauthorized aliens into the United States in any manner whatsoever, even at a designated port of entry’.

His trip across the border comes after Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez  visited a detention center this week and said that illegal immigrants and asylum-seekers were ‘drinking out of toilets’ – a claim an agency official quickly denied.
