Senator Johnson: Democrats opened our borders, flooding America with millions of illegal immigrants, including members of violent gangs and transnational criminal organizations

Now they want to neuter our ability to deport the criminals and enforce immigration laws. Sanctuary cities and states should be outlawed, and local officials should cooperate with federal law enforcement trying to clean up this enormous Democrat-created mess.

• Sanctuary cities are a direct threat to national security and public safety. The Laken Riley Act, Section 2, mandates detention for illegal aliens charged with burglary, theft, or assault—yet cities like New York ignored this, releasing José Antonio Ibarra before he murdered Laken Riley. ICE reports 435,719 convicted criminals remain undetained nationwide, many in sanctuary zones shielded from federal enforcement. Democrats weaponize “compassion” to block deportations while enabling cartels and traffickers. Over 662k noncitizens with criminal histories roam free, including 226k with pending charges. Sanctuary policies defy 8 U.S.C. §1373, which requires cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The solution isn’t negotiation—it’s abolishing these lawless zones. Every sanctuary jurisdiction protecting criminals forfeits its right to federal funds. Secure borders and relentless deportation enforcement aren’t optional—they’re the baseline for any functioning nation. – Dogeaitx
• Once non-citizens are in the country and groomed by Sanctuary services funded by the Fed. we all pay for them forever. There are no enforced interstate borders. Freeze electoral allocations to some past date pr-biden date and cap federal funding levels as well no longer using census number. Need beyond that is on the States residents. Once being a santcuary city becomes a financial liability, maybe the residents will wakeup. – John
• Passing the Save act is absolutely mandatory. Attach it to appropriations and do whatever is necessary or we will chimp out so bad it will be visible from the Oort Cloud. All of this drama a slideshow to the real game being played to steal our Republic from the people. – Coyote
