We’re witnessing a judicial insurrection. Just last week, a judge in California demanded that Border Patrol agents not arrest people they believe to be in the country illegally. This is just the latest in a long list of extrajudicial actions left-wing judges are taking in an effort to stop President Donald Trump.
We’ve seen judges try to stop Trump from deporting gang members back to their countries. We’ve seen judges try to stop Trump from ending temporary protected status, the program that has allowed immigrants to take over small towns throughout our country.
These judges are aiding and abetting illegal immigrants who are trying to avoid U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They’re even allegedly tampering with evidence on behalf of illegal immigrants. They are willing to destroy our country in the name of opposing Trump.
A nation without borders is no nation at all. If we allow these judges to continue to impede the agenda a majority of the country voted for, there may not be a nation left to fight for by the time the next election rolls around.
As Trump has done time and time again in the face of opposition from the Democrats, the swamp, and the deep state, we as a party need to recommit to the principles of America first. In the context of immigration, that means standing up and saying, I don’t care what these judges say, we’re going to:
Eliminate temporary protected status. This program has been abused, and you don’t need to look past Springfield, Ohio, to see how dire the consequences of its existence are.
Oppose any attempt at amnesty for illegal immigrants. If you came to this country illegally, you will not become a citizen now or any time in the future.
And most importantly, deport every single illegal immigrant from this country. Illegal immigration will not be solved in this country until we clearly communicate that if you cross our border illegally, we will hunt you down and send you back to where you came from.
These are not radical ideas, despite what activists might be screeching from the bench.
IN SPRINGFIELD, NOEM IMPLORES PRITZKER TO ABANDON SANCTUARY POLICIES
If it were up to me, I would tell the Trump administration: Do not listen to these rogue judges. Do not comply. I would tell Congress: Defund these federal judges, impeach them, do whatever it takes to stop them from sabotaging the president.
We’re finally on the right track: We’re securing our border and making America great again. We can’t afford to stop now.
