Corrupt Democrat rat Elijah Cummings ignored his own West Baltimore congressional district during Congress’ six week tax payer funded vacation. Instead, he took a few trips to Mexico and helped Rep. Veronica Escobar allegedly coach illegal immigrants in Ciudad Juarez on how to skirt U.S. immigration laws. Cummings is trying to a he took a “wrong turn” and ended up in Mexico. Cummings of course blames his staffers for the “wrong turn” into Mexico.

During one of the trips, Texas Democratic Rep. Veronica Escobar allegedly coached illegal immigrants in Ciudad Juarez on how to skirt U.S. immigration laws. Escobar, for her part, has called the report a “fabricated story” driven by “xenophobia and misinformation.”
Escobar, a Democrat that represents a congressional district in the El Paso area, is not a member of the Oversight Committee, and it’s still not entirely clear why she was a part of the trip.
Jordan’s letter on Tuesday not only accused Cummings of not properly answering GOP questions regarding the trips, or Escobar’s role, but also noted that Cummings’ explanation for entering Mexico was because staffers made a “wrong turn” into the country.
“There is absolutely no way the Democrats could have mistakenly made a wrong turn into Mexico, while simultaneously driving by a well-marked point of entry on a major highway. The real issue here is why the Democrats crossed into Mexico at all. We still really don’t have answers. The Democrats’ answers, so far, have been suspicious at best,” a source close to the State Department and with direct knowledge of the border trip said to the Daily Caller News Foundation said Tuesday.

The letter went on to deride Cummings’ behavior since taking over the committee gavel.
Jordan noted the Maryland Democrat’s previous denial of there being a humanitarian and security crisis as the border, a tweet distributed by Oversight Democrat of caged migrants children that was actually taken in 2014 under the Obama administration, his accusation of border security officials having an “empathy deficit,” and his reliance on the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center as a resource.
“Your entire course of conduct in investigating the Administration’s border security efforts has been in pursuit of facts to fit your preconceived political narrative,” the letter continued. “No matter how hard you try to spin your conduct, you cannot legitimize your politicized oversight.”
