Following the midterm elections, large caravans of migrants are marching toward the U.S. southern border, believing that a Democratic majority in Congress will grant them entry and amnesty. While Democratic leaders call for the abolition of ICE and the dismantling of the DHS, President Trump and his administration vow to keep the borders shut and maintain strict enforcement.
James Kaufman, World News Report Today.
Multiple caravans of tens of thousands march towards
the U.S. southern border.
The caravans are chanting, quote,
Democrats will help us as they move through Mexico now.
We're in big trouble after the Democrats stole these elections.
Days after the midterms, multiple caravans
of illegal aliens are already marching north to the U.S.
And they're counting on the Democrats to let them in.
Why wouldn't they?
Congressional Democrats are vowing to abolish ICE,
dismantle the DHS, stop deportations,
and hand out amnesty while border state Democrats
cut off cooperation on immigration enforcement.
It's the same open borders agenda
that unleashed the worst border crisis in American history.
But President Donald Trump says he's
not letting Democrats bring it back.
These are all quotes by people interviewed in these caravans.
There's a light at the end of the tunnel, a way for us to get in.
We believe the Democrats will help us, said a Nicaraguan migrant
who's already been deported once from the United States.
Quote, we know the Democrats are not going
to let a point as big as the Latino vote be
lost, and I think they're going to give us
the opportunity to reach our new home, said
a migrant traveling within the caravan.
Quote, we hear that Congress has changed.
Borders are now open.
We have faith that the Democrats will help us,
said a migrant heading for the border.
Quote, from what we have seen in the news, the Democrats intend
to allow us in, said a Guatemalan migrant traveling north.
Since the election, Democrats have reinforced those expectations.
Representative Hakeem Jeffries on the 9th.
ICE is way out of control. We need to put an end
to Donald Trump's violent mass deportation machine.
Representative Anna Presley yesterday.
With our new Democratic majority,
we must defend our immigrant neighbors, abolish ICE, and expand TPS.
On the 10th, Representative Rashid Tlaib.
We need to abolish ICE now.
On the 8th, Representative Claire Valdez.
We have the mandate now to abolish ICE.
On the 8th, Representative Delia Ramirez.
Together, we will dismantle the DHS and abolish ICE altogether.
On the 8th, Representative Pramila Jayapal.
Reining in ICE and getting ICE off our streets is a massive priority.
Representative Anna Presley.
On the 8th, Democrats have a mandate to abolish ICE,
shut down detention centers, and stop deportations.
On the 8th, Representative Juan Vargas.
These are all Hispanics or foreigners.
They should have never been allowed into positions of power,
especially on the federal level.
Completely ridiculous.
These people are not swearing their allegiance
to the Constitution of the United States,
and they're not here to assimilate.
Quote, we need the people that are being deported here in the U.S.
Senator Alex Padilla on the 4th, right after the elections.
Americans have spoken.
We're sick of ICE and the DHS.
Lawlessness and cruelty.
It's time to rein both of them in.
Now, border state Democrats
are already tearing down enforcement, especially in Texas.
It's a complete joke and hellhole.
We've waken up.
To another nightmare that we're living live.
Texas Governor-elect,
who no one had even heard of and knew she was running,
Gina Hinojosa, also Hispanic,
strict border enforcement, was a dog and pony show.
It was political theater and it's nonsense.
Lieutenant Governor-elect Vicki Goodwin said on the 9th,
We need to make sure that law enforcement is not aiding
or abetting ICE here in Texas in any way.
Houston Mayor John Whitmire on the 9th.
We have changed our policy regarding contact with ICE.
Elections do matter.
San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz
on the 6th.
Elections matter.
We want to eliminate ICE.
Austin Mayor Kirk Watson on the 6th.
I've said Austin.
It will not play into or perpetuate a policy of fear
when it comes to immigration.
The change in state leadership,
I anticipate being able to better partner with the state
on issues, including those related to civil immigration enforcement.
President Trump, in the meantime,
has promised that the borders will stay shut and has deployed
thousands of troops to defend our borders.
President Donald J. Trump, yesterday on the 12th, here we go again
with the perceived loss by the Republicans in midterms.
I was not on the ballot.
The invasion of our country is taking place again.
Huge caravans are forming and beginning their illegal march.
Through Mexico, but they will not be accepted.
Mexico must stop them now, and if they do not do so,
the tariffs on Mexico will immediately be doubled.
There will be no leniency whatsoever.
White House borders are Tom Holman on the 11th.
Congress may be more blue.
Texas may be more blue.
But the White House is red, bright red.
These caravans can come to the border all they want.
They're not going to be released to the United States.
We're not giving one inch on this border.
Department of Homeland Security General Counsel James Percival, quote,
if they do reach the southern border,
they're going to find the border patrol that is extremely ready.
What about all the troops that have been deployed?
The president is still the president.
The midterms didn't change that.
And we're very prepared to deal with this, period.
So, ladies and gentlemen,
they will be coming by the tens of thousands, if not millions.
And most of these people, well,
it has caused us to deport them once, twice, three times a lady.
The Democrats are determined to destroy the United States of America,
no matter what it takes.
They see it happening in Spain, Germany, France,
all of Western Europe, and they want the same
for you.
Complete chaos.
God bless, folks.
What good is a border if it's not enforced?
I would say shoot to kill, period.
Again, please give us a thumbs up and share, and God bless you all.
