“We have the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jorzic, coming after all of us with the absolutely completely bogus and false narrative that somehow our careful approach to immigration is wrong.”
“how is it serving those communities and those families and those individuals if you're letting bad guys out on the street, reducing their sentence simply because you don't want them deported.”
“It's just a continuation of a multi-step plan. The Democrats have enacted. Step one, of course, was during the Biden administration for four years. They let in 10 million illegal migrants.”
“Are American communities safer when illegal immigrants who commit crimes are deported or when they remain in those communities?”
“You heard it. Jim Jordan read verbatim, the statement. Immigration consequences will be a consideration in prosecutorial decisions.”
“You told the voters, if you elect me, I will take into account immigration consequences when making charging and pleading decisions. This is my policy. Not what you have in your hand.”
“I mean, think about their plan. First, it was four years of just wide open border, 10 million migrants come into the country. Then they create sanctuary jurisdictions, which makes it difficult to remove those migrants when they commit another crime.”
“we're not going to pay the guys to do the removing. We're not going to fund ICE.”
“Jim Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, he was looking into this in 2024 and two weeks before the 2024 presidential election, he issued a report that used that term quiet amnesty.”
“I know you were asking me, too, for listeners about Jim Jordan, who was here at the top. And I told you his in a nutshell in Fairfax County and here in Philadelphia, Krasner and the guy in Fairfax County, if you're here illegally, they diminish the crime, even if it's a violent crime, they try to, because they don't want this to be on the radar screen that you can be deported.”
“Think about their plan when it comes with defunding ICE. So they started by letting in 10 million illegal migrants in the Biden administration.”
“Your policy tells prosecutors to give lighter treatment to defendants based on their immigration status. Isn't that just discrimination with a sympathetic face?”
