Republican members of the House Border Security Caucus vowed to back President-elect Trump's mass deportation plans and target sanctuary cities. They criticized the Biden administration's handling of immigration and called for stronger border security measures.
Members of the House Border Security Caucus pledged to back President-elect Trump and his border czar Tom Homan’s mass deportation plans and vowed to crack down on 'particularly pernicious' sanctuary city policies protecting 'evil terrorists' and 'cartel thugs.' Rep.
Brian Babin, R-Texas, decried the historic level of illegal immigration under the Biden administration and the subsequent dramatic rise in migrant crime and gang activity, including the violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua. He called for the rest of Congress to stand behind Trump’s border security plans, saying that 'every single one of these cartel thugs and evil terrorists needs to be deported immediately.' 'The American people can finally breathe a very big and deep sigh of relief,' said Babin. 'The disastrous Biden administration is coming to an end and with that, that will be an end of open borders, asylum abuse, lawlessness, sanctuary cities – all these will end as well.' 'But for us, as members of the House Border Security Conference,' Babin went on, 'our job is just begun.' California Republican Rep. Tom McClintock also said congressional Republicans’ 'first priority' must be passing the Secure the Border Act. He said this would 'assure that future presidents cannot subvert the law as Biden has.' 'President Trump proved that simply enforcing laws can produce secure borders,' he said. 'But President Biden proved that a president intent on leaving our borders wide open can do so as well.' McClintock also said Congress needs to sanction sanctuary jurisdictions that are protecting criminal illegal immigrants from deportation
