Discussion on Trump Administration's Immigration Enforcement and Gang Crackdown

Published | Video Starts at 08:24

It should be obvious and universal that keeping our citizens safe is not a partisan exercise. It's nothing more than common sense. And it's actually the responsibility of government to actually enforce the laws that Congress passes. Refusing to arrest and lock up criminals who never should have been in the country in the first place will go down in history as one of the biggest mistakes the Biden administration and Democrats have ever made. The Trump administration is rightly correcting the terrible mistakes of the Biden administration. The American people deserve to live in a country where they don't have to be fearful for their safety. (08:24–08:40)
