And they're looking to round everybody up and put them down in Florida into the detention center that has become known as Alligator Alcatraz. It's quite a name. You know, the president was talking about it a little bit earlier today as he began his trip down to Alligator Alcatraz and made the point that they need some kind of system to work through. You know, you get all this red tape. And even though they've been proven right at even the. Supreme Court level, right, in terms of the deportations that are now being allowed and the canceling visas for people 530 some on thousand of them that were brought here from Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Cuba under the Biden administration. They're canceling those visas, but what do you do with them at

that point? And that's become a bit of a challenge. So Ron DeSantis is offering up some answers and a little bit less bureaucracy. This is we're offering up our National Guard and other folks in Florida to be deputized to be immigration judges. We're working with the Department of Justice for the approvals. I'm sure Pam will approve. But then you have, I'll have a National Guard judge advocate here. Someone has a notice to appear. Biden would tell him to come back in three years and appear.

Now you'll be able to appear in like a day or two. So they're not going to be detained hopefully for all that long. We'll have people here in this facility that can make, you know, it's a bureaucracy. The president's got to deal with the bureaucracy. Now that Supreme Court ruling was good because that's going to allow him to be able to exercise article two, the way founders intended. But you still have bureaucracy. So we want to cut through that so that we have an efficient operation between Florida and DHS to get the removal of these illegals done. Boom.

All right. So they mean business. And, you know, alligators are quite an image. Let me just say. You know, as someone who grew up in the Northeast, I have a special. fear for those things. So that takes on a whole new meaning. But the point being that they want to be able to expedite some of these people out of the country. And in terms of some of the national security concerns, et cetera, their hope is that they'll be able to do this in a more efficient

kind of fashion. So what does AOC do with all of this? Well, she's trying to twist it into somehow that the GOP is totally anti-immigrant. Here's my news slash for her. You know what? They're not anti-immigrant. the party's not anti-immigrant. The party is pro-legal immigration. So that means some kind of system has to be developed so that you know who the heck is in the country. Don't try and tarn feather them with this whole idea that they're completely anti-immigrant. I think that's insanely unfair. But you guys have gone the opposite direction.

We're all about open borders. Are you not? About how this is about illegal versus legal immigration. They are attacking legal status and removing legal status. The Republican majority is anti-legal immigration in the United States. I want to make that very clear, and I yield back. Woo. Okay. You can't ask yourself, like, why is all this happening right now?

I mean, I know it's Trump and everything, right? We know that Trump, ever since he went down the escalator and said, you know, there's people that we shouldn't have in this country here in this country. He has become a lightning rod for this. And so they want to go after him. And then going after him, they go after this issue. But they kind of make themselves look foolish in the country. the process. I mean, Jasmine Crockett, you need look no further than the representative from Texas

one. Jasmine Crockett making some lousy remarks trying to sell her constituency on why you need open borders. So I had to go around the country and educate people about what immigrants do for this country or the fact that we are a country of immigrants. Right, right. The fact is ain't none of y'all trying to go and farm right now. Okay, so I'm lying. Raise your hand. You're not. You're not. We're done picking cotton. You can't pay us enough to find a plantation. Wow. So quite a way to phrase it. Yeah, it's quite a sales pitch. But you again, need to ask, why is this all happening right now? Why has the left gotten so extreme? Why are they trying to argue for open borders? And it brings you back to this article earlier in the year, New York moves to allow 800,000 non-citizens to vote in local elections. New York City will become the largest municipality in the country to allow legal

residents to vote if the election is approved as expected in December. Okay, so that's a pretty fascinating headline. And for everybody who's like, oh, no, there's no way that would actually happen. Well, I mean, they were trying. If the appellate court hadn't struck it down, you would had 800,000 non-citizens who were quote-unquote legally here, right? Just think about the 533, 532,000 that Biden imported from the likes of Nicaragua, Haiti, Cuba, and Venezuela. Think about that. Okay, so I guess you sort of legally are here because you've been given this pass, which, by the way, Donald Trump just took away, and suddenly you're voting in elections. You wonder how this works, right? Just math at the end of the day. Unfortunately,

Unfortunately, unfortunately, but by the way, this is a big part of why Donald Trump won. Don't kid yourself, Dems. People aren't really into this. And let me go back to what the actual rules are. The actual rules are in terms of asylum, et cetera. And we got real rules on the book. 8 U.S.C. 1158 aligns with the 1951 refugee convention, the 1967 protocol to qualify for asylum. The applicant must prove two things, two things.

Okay. One, persecution of well-founded fear of persecution. must have suffered persecution or have had a genuine and responsible fear, future persecution and be with protected grounds. So you're going to meet both of these criteria. So one, you have to be fearful, right, of your life and the situation there. But it can't just be because it's a terrible place. I mean, there's playing terrible places out there.

It can't be. It actually has to be on these protected grounds. One race, two, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a, particular social group. So this is pretty narrowly defined, and yet they wanted to change it into something entirely different, why you ask why. And look, I got to, you know, I hate to be so critical, shall always say, but you had 800,000 people that had a shot at voting in local elections that were not actually citizens in the United States, like, what the heck is that about? and it's all being orchestrated by the same people who are on the Fight the Oligarchy Tour.

Fight the oligarchy tour. In other words, they want handouts for everybody. They want open borders and they want them to have everything that they could possibly want and need. I'm thinking about the commie that wants to come into New York as mayor. And then they have the audacity to get out there and ride around on a private jet. Here is AOC with her Fight the Oligarchy Tour. What do you know? Stepping out of none other than a private plane.

Lane. Like, it's amazing how that happens. You're out there. You know, fight in the oligary. By the way, she's getting caught in a total lie. We talked about this yesterday because she apparently likes to say that she's a girl from the Bronx, but it turns out she's kind of from a Tony suburb, very different place. Wow. Okay. Whatever. You know where this is going. Okay. So they want to let them eat cake. Bring them all in. We're going to give them something. We're going to control the money. We're going to control the power. Thank you.
