GOP Candidate Mistakes YMCA Kids For Migrants, Describes 'Fear In Their Faces'

The Huffington Post | By Igor Bobic

A Republican running for Congress in Arizona snapped a photo of a passing school bus full of children on Tuesday near a housing facility for undocumented minors. He posted the picture to Twitter with a stern warning to his followers: "Bus coming in. This is not compassion. This is the abrogation of the rule of law."

Adam Kwasman later spoke with a local reporter and described seeing "the fear" in the children's faces, urging authorities to abide by the law and enforce the border against the influx of child immigrants crossing into the United States.

But there was a problem with Kwasman's story. The school bus was carrying local children on the way to a YMCA camp not far from the migrant shelter. A reporter at the scene said he saw the children laughing and taking pictures with their iPhones.

Here's his tweet:

This POS's words should be screaming back at him from his opponent's campaign. People like him have been given a pass for far too long and this needs to stop.
