Not Open Borders: Warren Suggests Suspending Deporations Of Illegal Aliens

Sadly, I wasn’t able to attend Liz Warren’s events here in Raleigh, but, probably for the best: I’m a heckler, and I might have yelled out questions that Liz couldn’t answer. Since the news media fails to ask pointed questions

At Latino community forum, Elizabeth Warren says she’s open to suspending deportations

Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has supported focusing U.S. deportation efforts on criminals and national security threats rather than all immigrants in the country illegally.

At a rally Friday in Raleigh, Warren went farther, saying she would be open to a moratorium on deportations.

“I am open to suspending deportations particularly as a way to push Congress for comprehensive immigration reform,” Warren said. She said she believes “that when ICE comes into our communities, takes our neighbors, our friends, our family members, that they do not make this country safer.”

Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection should be focused on “real threats” from terrorism, contraband, and the shipping of deadly narcotic drugs like fentanyl, Warren said.

So, did anyone in the media ask a rather important question: “Senator, if you are for focusing deportation efforts on criminal illegal aliens, then why would you suspend all deportations of those who are criminals, putting U.S. citizens at risk for those criminals to commit crime against them, all to legalize people who are unlawfully present per U.S. federal law?”

Warren did not specify if such a suspension would apply to immigrants with criminal records.

No one asked her? Were you folks there as reporters or supporters?

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis tweeted in response to a video of Warren’s statement that her “radical, liberal agenda would be a disaster for North Carolina and the country,” calling it a “dangerous” proposal.

The comments also drew an emailed statement from President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign saying, “Warren is proposing regressive socialist plans that would dismantle our economic gains and hurt Latino families in North Carolina and across the country.”

Obviously, there are quite a few other questions she could be asked, such as “how does allowing open borders and rewarding people who broke our laws help out the Latinos lawfully present in the U.S., including those who are citizens, many of them who went through the whole long, expensive process to become citizens?”
