Senator Schmitt on Biden Admin's Immigration 'Abuse' and Border Security

Biden Administration's Immigration Policies Under Fire

• 🚨 ICE has arrested multiple Afghan nationals released by the Biden administration who had convictions for crimes including kidnapping and child abuse.
• 🎯 Senator Eric Schmitt criticizes the Biden administration's exploitation of the humanitarian parole process, stating it was not conducted on an individual, case-by-case basis.
• ⚠️ Tens of thousands of individuals from countries like Afghanistan have entered the U.S. through this process, with taxpayers covering their travel, and their backgrounds are largely unknown.
• 💔 Schmitt describes the administration's approach as ‘suicidal empathy’ that has caused havoc in communities.

Calls for Immigration Pause and Stricter Controls

• ⏸️ A pause on all immigration is proposed, along with thorough vetting of individuals already in the U.S.
• ⚖️ Schmitt references the Immigration and Nationality Act, stating the President has the authority to suspend entry of aliens if detrimental to U.S. interests.
• 🚫 He anticipates objections from the Democratic party, particularly the 'radical leftist' faction, but asserts that as a sovereign nation, the U.S. has the right to control who enters.
• 🗺️ The discussion highlights a perceived Democratic disregard for borders, viewing them as arbitrary lines, which Schmitt argues is contrary to the nation's history and the principles of a sane immigration policy.

Addressing Drug Cartels and 'Naroterrorists'

• 🚢 Some Democrats are creating sympathy for cartel members involved in drug trafficking, referring to them as ‘shipwrecked sailors’.
• 🗣️ Schmitt contrasts this with past statements from Joe Biden, who referred to drug traffickers as ‘naroterrorists’ and advocated for international strike forces.
• 🧠 He attributes the shift in Democratic rhetoric to the ‘woke mind virus’, suggesting their primary motivation is to oppose anything associated with President Trump.
• 🇺🇸 The Senator emphasizes the President's authority as commander-in-chief to combat drug lords and their shipments, particularly those carrying fentanyl, which causes numerous deaths annually.
• 🤝 Schmitt believes the current administration is committed to protecting Americans and taking action in their own hemisphere.
