(7:05am) Jeremy Beck from Numbers USA talks about current immigration issues and the continual flow of illegal aliens into the country. They're creating havoc on the infrastructure of communities across the nation. Here is Numbers USA's response to the VP Debate:
“Senator J.D. Vance’s common-sense approach to immigration shows that he gets the complexities and the necessities of moderate immigration and can masterfully articulate it. Governor Walz is content to continue the open border policies that have created the worst border crisis in history and wreak havoc on the infrastructure of communities across America."
Vance supported measures to crack down on illegal hiring and asylum fraud, restore Remain in Mexico, and eliminate the CBPOne app that the Biden-Harris administration has used to mass parole hundreds of thousands of migrants into the country.
Walz touted a failed Senate border bill mandating the processing of 1,400 illegal aliens each day, a bill that would have codified the Biden-Harris border policies, which have resulted in the largest spike in illegal immigration in history.
Also, late last Friday (9/27/24), VP Harris visited the southern border for the first time as a presidential candidate, where she said she would bring back the failed Senate bill and sign it into law."
