Austin’s ABC News affiliate reports:
Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn trended nationally on Twitter Monday morning, after tweeting a quote from The New York Times saying that instead of stopping illegal immigration, President Joe Biden has “emphasized the humane treatment of immigrants, regardless of their legal status.”
While some praised the statement, most others seemed to wonder what was wrong with treating anyone humanely. “That’s insane!! Humane treatment?!? What’s next human rights?!?! Let’s storm the Capitol with some racists!!” Condé Nast Legal Affairs Editor Luke Zaleski responded.

Thank you @JohnCornyn for truthfully explaining a key difference between Democratic & Republican policy: Democrats want to keep our border safe & secure, but do care about the humane treatment of immigrants. Meanwhile, Republicans enjoy suffering of immigrants.

Imagine thinking “humane treatment” is something to be ashamed of.

That should work -not! Also, @ChiefSkero said last week that the Del Rio sector had encountered migrants from 54 countries so far this year. Even if this did work, you would have to increase your advertising budget. https://t.co/5rSCmSdUkm
