Members of the House Border Security Caucus have expressed their support for President-elect Trump and his border czar Tom Homan's mass deportation plans. They have vowed to crack down on sanctuary city policies that protect what they describe as 'evil terrorists' and 'cartel thugs.'
Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas, highlighted the historic levels of illegal immigration under the Biden administration and the subsequent rise in migrant crime and gang activity, including the presence of the violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua.
Babin called on Congress to unite behind Trump's border security plans, emphasizing the need for immediate deportation of individuals involved in criminal activities.
California Republican Rep. Tom McClintock stressed the importance of passing the Secure the Border Act as a priority to prevent future presidents from undermining border security laws.
Rep. Michael Cloud from Texas supported the idea of defunding agencies and cities that attract illegal immigrants, emphasizing the need to take tough decisions to uphold promises made to the American people.
Arizona Republican Rep. Andy Biggs labeled sanctuary city policies as 'pernicious' and criticized Democratic leaders in sanctuary states for resisting efforts to secure the border. He warned that officials supporting sanctuary policies may face legal consequences for obstructing justice.
The House Border Security Caucus members are determined to address the challenges posed by illegal immigration and sanctuary city policies. They are advocating for stricter border security measures and enforcement of existing laws to ensure the safety of communities.
