Conservative rock musician Ted Nugent said he supports the Trump administration's early push to round up illegal immigrants and banish them.
“Everyone I know – my ranch buddies, all the landowners on private land – we keep our borders safe,” said Nugent, a Texas resident, on Tuesday, “Balanced by News Nation.” “He talked about.
“What we can expect is that our government does what our people do and what we demand.
So far, arrests have focused on what authorities say is the most dangerous immigrants, but federal officials have the ultimate game to illegally deport people in the US. I admit that this is the case. Nugent says the government cannot worry about immigrants who are not permitted to be here when agents face danger on the ground.
“We have no responsibility, time or effort to decide who is dangerous or who is not. After you invade our country, you are a bad guy,” he said of the host. He told Leland Vittert.
He added: “This is war.”
Ted Nugent: From lockers to shockers
Nugent, 76, was a commercial success as a solo recording artist and concert act in the 1970s and 1980s, and is perhaps best known for his 1977 album, “Cat Scratch Fever.” He later joined the supergroup damn Yankees.
In recent years, natives and hunting and gun rights advocates have controversed his honest views. In 2014, he wrote a column suggesting that illegal immigrants should become “indentured servants” until they gain citizenship.
He also elicited scrutiny of the US Secret Service in 2012 after telling NRA audiences that he was “dead or in prison” if then President Obama was re-elected. The problem has been deleted After Nugent meets with the agent. He later called Obama “a subhuman Mongrel” and apologized.
