They belong to our country. Rather than being deported, they are undoubtedly exploiting the immigration loopholes they have found at our southern border, smuggling people, drugs, and weapons, and wreaking havoc on our communities. .”

“Next are the people who have actually tried to take advantage of this system, prosecuting individuals who have illegally re-entered the United States after being deported. As you know, many of them have criminal records and are subject to U.S. sovereignty. blatant disregard for public safety and poses a continuing threat to public safety. Visa overstays, which make up almost 40% of illegal immigrants, are exactly what President Trump is doing by addressing violent criminals and dealing with criminals who break the law in our communities.

I think it will be a much smoother working relationship than many people expect. Because I think this plan of President Trump is shared by a lot of people in that it solves a lot of the problems that we see. They are illegal immigrants to our country. ”
