Florida Lawmaker on Biden's Border Policy and Census Integrity

Border Security and Policy Shifts

• 🎯 Congressman Carlos Gimenez criticizes the Biden administration's past border policies, stating that the low number of illegal crossings is due to a change in presidential policy, not a lack of resources.
• ⚠️ He emphasizes that the administration's previous approach was "on purpose" and that a different president with the will to enforce laws has led to the current results.
• 🛂 Gimenez advocates for the deportation or jailing of all undocumented immigrants, stating they "should have never been allowed to enter in the first place."

Census Integrity and Representation

• 🏛️ President Trump plans to redo the U.S. Census before the 2026 midterms, aiming to exclude illegal immigrants from the count.
• 📈 The goal is to prevent Democrats from gaining extra seats in the House of Representatives, as Trump claims the current census methodology unfairly benefits certain states.
• 📊 Gimenez supports this, noting that states like California and Florida lost seats due to what he calls a "fair census" and that Florida was "gipped" out of at least one seat.
• ⚖️ He suggests that only legal residents and citizens should be counted in the census, calling it "common sense."
