During an interview Wednesday on Fox News, Dallas' mayor also suggested there needed to be stricter security at the U.S.-Mexico border.
, Johnson also suggested there needed to be stricter security at the U.S.-Mexico border. The mayor made the comments after being asked how Dallas was addressing migrants in the city and if he would deport them.“Of course, we’d support that,” Johnson said during the three-minute segment. “Of course, we’d stand by President Trump in an effort to get rid of people in our country illegally who have violent criminal records or who commit violent criminal acts here.
When asked if city officials have had discussions, city spokesman Nick Starling said, “Because that statement was made by Mayor Johnson, please reach out to his office directly.”As Dallas mayor, Johnson doesn’t have the power to unilaterally direct police or city policy related to undocumented immigrants. The mayor and the city’s 14 district council members have equal voting power on policy decisions, which typically require majority approval to pass.
“You have multiple billionaires complaining that the poorest people are the problem, and it’s just a big lie,” Garcia said. “Unfortunately, looks like the mayor of Dallas bought into that big lie.”
