Representative clay higgins joining us now, representative clay higgins. Thanks for your time. Guest good morning. I am happy to be here. Host when you hear people talk about the actions of Governor Desantis and governor abbott, what you think it does for the conversation on immigration in the United States . Guest the narrative across the citizenry is responding to the massive illegal crossing at our southern border. We have been enduring and suffering since the Biden Administration has been in power. We have communities across the country being heavily impacted in a negative way and governors have been left on their own to respond. The federal government has failed to secure our Sovereign International border with mexico and the mexican side of that border is 100 controlled by criminal cartels who traffic human beings and drugs, so the Biden Administration has essentially by policy and failure to enforce existing laws waived these illegals in here in america has suffered because of it. The narrative is reflective of that. Governors have to make decisions to stabilize their own sovereign state. They are doing that. Host if the idea is to get the border more secure, what you think these actions do toward that specifically . Guest the actions of the governors . Governors do not have authority to deport these illegal aliens back to their own country. I am sure they wish they did. The menu are speaking of our constitutionalist conservative republican men so they are transporting these Illegal Immigrants, who now have legal status within the country, and they have a destination of record that they have provided to federal Law Enforcement and state Law Enforcement that works hand in glove with the federal guys. They are sending them across the country close to where they want to go, exactly what the Biden Administration has been doing for two years in the dead of night in secret flights you have heard of and read of and america has spoken of. The governors are responding to the reality that the federal government has failed to secure our international, sovereign border with mexico. That is a federal role. The cleat complete collapse of our sovereignty in texas and the entire nation has been impacted and governors have a right to perform on behalf of their own sovereign citizens. Host you can have a conversation with our guest. If you want to call, 202 7488000 for democrats. Republicans, 202 7488001. Independents, 202 7488002. Text us at 202 7488003. Here you are the Ranking Member of the Homeland Security subcommittee on the border. We had the chair of that committee. She was asked but the actions of the governors. I want to tell you what she had to say and get your response. [video clip] it is shameful because they are lowering migrants under false pretenses, so im glad to see there is an investigation being opened by the texas bexar county officials to see what is happening. If you look at the information these migrants are given, they were led to believe they were going to get housing, services, that they were even going to collect benefits, which asylumseekers in the United States do not get. Refugees who havent granted asylum will get, but not asylumseekers. It was very misleading. And then to leave them without giving city officials or the governor a heads up was a tragic situation. The good that has come out of it is we have seen these communities welcome these migrants, step up and say, how can we help . We need to make sure we are developing a system across the nation that can take in these migrants and give them that welcoming message and maybe that is something that looks like a National Case management system. The other interesting thing to talk about, we are talking about people coming from failing, communist countries. Take a look at the number of migrants, even those sent to Marthas Vineyard. It is people from venezuela nicaragua, and cuba, oppressive countries. Those countries are not even taking migrants under deportation back from the United States, so we have to welcome them. We have to do better on investing in our system and making sure there is a better system because these political stunts are a waste of taxpayer money and not the right way to do it. Host those were some of her comments. Reaction to that . Guest the chairwoman and i have a friend the relationship. We serve on committees together and i respect her opinion. She is very erudite with her descriptions of what her rescission is, but she is wrong. The Biden Administration insists it is the democratic agenda to lure Illegal Immigrants across mexico and Central America into south america. That is the pipeline. And the pipeline receives Illegal Immigrants from across the world. It is the Biden Administration and democrats like the chairwoman that have lord lured least citizens from other nationstates to come to our nation illegally. To transport illegal aliens has been happening for two years. We have had three point 5 million documented illegal crossings and another 1. 5 million hardened criminals that eve a lawful Law Enforcement. Those are my numbers. The official number is 900,000, but my numbers are more accurate. You are about 5 million illegal aliens who have crossed into our country in two years. Where do you think those people have gone . They have been forced into every square inch of america, every state, every county has been impacted. Democrats are all about redistribution of wealth and they consider illegal aliens, which they call migrants now, they consider them to be a a valuable asset to the country, so why would they stand against redistribution of valuable assets across the country . One would think they would be thanking the governor of texas and florida. Regarding investigations, is any american watching surprised that this executive branch, which has weaponized itself against conservatives across the country , is anyone surprised that conservative governors are being investigated from this executive branch and this doj . This fbi . Of course there are investigations happening. That is reflective of a very oppressive executive regime, which has most certainly targeted regular american citizens from sea to shining sea. That is a shame, but we will fix that in november. Host lets hear from alabama, democrats line. Caller mr. Higgins, if i could get you guest ronald greene. Caller in your state you have not said anything about this. If you look at his case it was a lot worse than what happened with mr. Floyd. It israel said that this has not come to the forefront. You being a representative of louisiana, you should be pushing for no coverups. Guest im not just a representative. I am a political i am a citizen. I did not have access to that investigation in the early hours after what happened with mr. Green, but our governor did. Our democrat governor had access to that information, and we are most certainly going to reveal what happened that night. I am an eternal member of the thin blue line brotherhood, police officer. There is no room in our ranks for violation of civil rights. When there is suspicion that such a thing happens, it should be investigated aggressively and that should have begun with our chief executive in louisiana, which is our democrat governor. We are definitely looking into that. We will win the Governors Mansion next year in louisiana, and i suspect afterwards is when you will see very aggressive reveal of what happened that night. Host from decatur, alabama, here is gina. Caller hello, pedro. Hello, clay higgins, congressman. Thank you for your service. I have one problem, a little funny to me that Marthas Vineyard has so much money they could not take and fiftysomething people and i remember i worked relief up here in north alabama for over two months and we had no problem accommodating people from new orleans. My question is, christine the guard, the European Central bank lady came out and they are having an economic crisis in europe. They have had 11 million flee ukraine. Is there any possibility that we could issue visas to fill some of these 11 million jobs we have . Because we have three jobs for every person and they have one person for every three jobs. Thank you for your service again. You have a blessed day. Guest america has the most generous and compassionate immigration system in the advanced free world, amongst wealthy nations across the entire planet i challenge anyone to find a more welcoming and compassionate immigration laws.
