Rep. Byron Donalds, a Florida Republican and vehement supporter of former President Donald Trump whose name has been mentioned as a potential running mate, revealed a big Trump and GOP priority should he win in November and Republicans take back control of Congress.
He mentioned over the weekend that if the Republicans control the entire federal government in 2024, there will be significant changes to border security and the number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. Donald made the remarks during a Sunday interview on “Fox News Sunday” with Shannon Bream when asked about what promises he could make to the American people regarding potential changes if Republicans win in November.
“A couple of things,” Donalds responded. “Trump had the border secured when he was President of the United States. When Joe Biden came in, the first thing he did was rip up the border policy simply because they were put in place by Donald Trump. It was a very stupid decision by Joe Biden. The country has suffered as a result.”
“So now what we are going to do is go back to ending ‘catch-and-release’ and go back to ‘Remain in Mexico.’ We will have to deport millions of people who should not be here because our cities and states simply cannot handle the flow of all these illegal migrants,” he continued. “You have Jordanian people going in trying to breach Quantico under Joe Biden. You saw what happened on the southern border in California, where they were trying to scale the wall in California and get over that wall there.”
“What President Trump is going to do is put back the policies that kept our country secure, and we will deport millions of people,” he concluded. “It needs to be done. Then in Congress, with a policy like H.R. 2, if you have the votes in the House and the Senate, we are going to move large parts of this to become federal law, which gives the president more authority to secure the nation.”
