Our managing editor, Javier Manjarres was on NewsMax TV’s Newsmax Prime along with Democratic media strategist Franco Ripple discussing the decision by the Department of Homeland Securities surprise decision to deport illegal immigrants.
Ripple said the Obama administration has been very strong on illegal immigration.This administration has always actually been very strong saying ‘look, if you break our laws, if you come across our borders illegally, especially if you are ordered to be deported . . . DHS is going to find you and deport you.
He also pointed out a judge is making Obama deport illegal immigrants he currently has in jail.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Manjarres responded by saying even though Obama have been deporting more illegal immigrants then any other president in history, Â he feels the current decision by the Department of Homeland Securities is political. It is partially a response to the recent terrorist attacks and also the public outcry for him to be tougher on illegal immigrants.
He also said illegal immigration and terrorism are directly tied.I think this is all political obviously. I think this has to do more with the recent terrorist attacks that have stemmed from illegal immigration.
Donald Trump has stated the only reason the President is deporting illegal immigrants is because he brought it up when he first launched his campaign. Manjarres thought Trump was smart taking the credit because it will only boost his campaign more. Ripple thought Trump was just trying to steal the limelight once again.
