- π― The left and the Democratic Party are increasingly adopting the belief that borders are arbitrary and a country should not dictate who enters or stays.
- β οΈ This shift is seen as a radicalization, leading to protests against ICE agents and their enforcement of immigration laws.
- π« Senator Schmitt asserts that the left is against ICE, naturalization laws, and law and order.
Enforcement of Immigration Laws
- ποΈ Congress has passed immigration laws to protect national sovereignty, and a federal agency (ICE) is tasked with enforcing them.
- βοΈ Historically, figures like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama supported deportations for those in the country illegally, a stance that has recently changed.
- π£οΈ The senator emphasizes that deportations will continue, and the left cannot stop them, as this is what the American people voted for.
Combating Fraud and Strengthening Controls
- π There is a call for real prosecutions of fraudsters, moving beyond mere talk.
- π¦ Greater controls are needed, with Treasury working to verify where funds are going to prevent misuse, citing examples of phony daycare centers.
- π A new bill is being developed to denaturalize individuals who committed fraud or any felony, with a look-back provision, to send a clear message.
Sending a Clear Message
- π© The government has sided with illegal immigrants for too long, eroding public faith.
- πΊπΈ The message needs to be clear: the country will not tolerate this and will side with the American people who have been wronged.
- π The principle of a nation of laws is fundamental to maintaining order and functionality.
