Senator Eric Schmitt was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with guest host Jackie DeAngelis to talk about restricting immigration in light of the deadly attack on National Guard members in DC.
The Senator explained the importance of enforcing the immigration laws that are already on the books. He said that one of the main reasons President Trump was reelected was because of his commitment to protect the nation from open borders and mass migration.
“I’m particularly interested in what Congress can do about our immigration policies to help President Trump. He’s doing everything that he can,” DeAngelis said.
“It was Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent who suggested moving to cut off some illegal migrants from tax benefits, from cross border money transfers,” DeAngelis said.
“Is this a good idea?” DeAngelis asked.
“I do. I think we need to take away every incentive possible that made this wide-open border the Biden administration constructed,” Senator Schmitt said.
“All this mass migration needs to be met with mass deportations. So, we have plenty of laws that are now being enforced by this administration,” Schmitt said.
“What the left wants to do, they want to you know, create controversy, create chaos, make it look like the ICE agents are the bad guys in all this,” Senator Schmitt explained.
Senator Schmitt also explained that our legal immigration system needs to be fixed. He cited the H-1B Visa program as an example of how it is affecting American workers competing with foreign workers who are paid lower wages to replace them.
“I would point out, though, that it’s not just an illegal immigration problem. We have real abuses with our legal immigration system that should be addressed,” Senator Schmitt continued.
“The good news is we have a President that wants to enforce the laws, and that is not what we saw last administration when 20 million people came here in four years, illegally,” Schmitt said.
“Can we expect a timeline where Americans will know that a system is being put into place? Our borders are secure, so that is certainly step one. I see what the President is trying to do with some of these pauses in the aftermath of this shooting,” DeAngelis said.
“What can we do to fix a broken system?” DeAngelis asked.
“I think when you hear comprehensive immigration reform it’s usually code word for mass amnesty. That’s what they are talking about, and we are not interested in that. What we need to do right now is enforce the laws of the United States,” Senator Schmitt continued.
“There is nothing particularly new about deportations. Bill Clinton deported 11 million people. The difference now is the Democrats have been radicalized,” Senator Schmitt warned.
