Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) said in a television appearance that Democrats had blocked a bill that would have stopped American taxpayers from allowing illegal immigrants to enter the United States. Breitbart News Daily.
Hagerty explained that this happened Saturday because Democrats rejected proposals that would have made America safer.
“This happened early Saturday morning this weekend. Once again, this was pushed back. Chuck Schumer maintained as much control of the ball as possible right up until the near-shutdown of the government.” The senator said, explaining that Schumer wanted to avoid introducing a bill to Hagerty that would “stop the use of tax dollars for airplanes.”Illegal immigrants come here on chartered planes from countries like Nicaragua. [and] Haiti. ”
“There are Venezuelans coming into the United States on chartered planes, all courtesy of American taxpayers, the American government, American taxpayer money,” he said, adding that these people are crossing the border. He emphasized that the number is not 43, but the number 43. Airports are different here in America. ”

The senator went on to say that in 2023, under the Biden administration, 320,000 illegal immigrants entered the United States using this method. So Hagerty said he put a simple vote on the floor asking lawmakers to stop spending tax money on it.
“All the Democrats voted against me,” he said. “All Democrats voted to continue this ridiculous policy of illegally flying thousands of people into our country,” the senator explained.
“And this brings me to the amendment that I introduced two weeks ago. That law was also very simple. The party would not count illegal immigrants in apportioning parliamentary seats and electoral votes. I think most people in America are shocked to know that’s happening now. Those who are here on vacation are not counted. “People are not counted as diplomats. Why should we count people who are in the country illegally? But that’s what’s happening,” he said, adding that the left is He added that this is the motive behind allowing illegal immigration to worsen, thus increasing seats.
“This is the motivation behind crime at the border, because when you look at people leaving blue states like New York, Illinois, California, and you think, where are the sanctuary cities? New York, Manhattan, Chicago, etc. , Los Angeles, San Francisco — I think the motive is becoming very clear. They’re trying to maintain power in Congress,” he said.

Host Mike Slater emphasized that Hagerty was not talking about deporting people already in the United States illegally to other states.
“You’re not talking about airlifting illegal aliens from Texas to Chicago. Are you talking about airlifting them from Honduras to Chicago?” he asked.
“Yes. These people are being rounded up by the U.S. government and flown directly from their countries of origin. We’re talking about flying here from Colombia or Venezuela. Crime rates have decreased in Venezuela. You’re the reason. Did you know that Venezuelan gangs are currently operating here?” the senator said.
“You remember seeing two Venezuelans who brutally beat a police officer in New York. They were then released without bail and fled to California. You’re right here in your neck of the woods. I think about the crime that’s happening here, the murder of a fellow Venezuelan at the University of Georgia. [He] “He committed a crime in Manhattan, left because they released him without bail, came to Georgia and killed Laken Riley,” he said.

“It would be completely foolish to leave this alone,” he continued. “But the Biden administration is desperately trying to bring these people into the numbers and turn a blind eye to the devastation that all this crime, fentanyl, is causing. It’s a crisis. And yet they’re managing this crisis so they can control Congress.”
Additionally, Hagerty said that as the election approaches, Democrats will continue to push the border, as President Joe Biden has signed dozens of executive orders in his first 100 days in office, reversing former President Donald Trump’s policies. He warned Americans not to assume he cared.
“He issued 94 separate executive orders to revoke the secure border that Donald Trump left him. He now has the power and authority to come back again. [build] All the things they won’t do, like build the wall again, end catch-and-release, start deporting criminals again, which was a very effective Remain in Mexico policy,” he said. I left,” he explained.
“They need to reestablish that. Instead, Mexico is telling us what will happen here in the United States. What has happened because of this weak posture and weak policies is just shocking.” he added.
