Lombardo ‘fully committed’ to Trump deportation plan

(Jessica Hill | LVRJ) – Karoline Leavitt, spokeswoman for the Trump-Vance transition team, said in a statement that local and state officials on the front lines of the “Harris-Biden border invasion” have been suffering for four years.

“On day one, President Trump will marshal every lever of power to secure the border, protect their communities, and launch the largest mass deportation operation of illegal immigrant criminals in history,” Leavitt said in the statement.

Chuck Muth, a conservative blogger in Nevada, said Lombardo has been “very reasonable and responsible” when dealing with the immigration issue, so “I’d have to defer to the governor’s judgment on this one.”

He said Trump hasn’t been inaugurated yet, and his plans remain hypothetical, so it is premature to jump to conclusions.

Muth said the border needs to be closed, which he thinks will be the easiest part of Trump’s plan. Next is the deportation part, which will be harder. Deporting undocumented immigrants currently serving time in U.S. prisons is “easy low-hanging fruit,” though the process itself will be difficult, Muth said.

When it comes to people who have been in the U.S. for a long time and are responsible members of the community, Muth would like to see a program that allows for them to stay without automatically granting citizenship.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS

  • “Like it or not, Trump is mainstream. He shows up at those most American events – football games and MMA fights – and gets applause. He eats McDonald’s. He himself is part of the pop culture.” – Rich Lowry
  • “If he (Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson) impedes us, if he knowingly harbors and conceals an illegal alien, I will PROSECUTE HIM.” – Border Czar Tom Homan
  • “We will not be a safe haven for those who commit violent acts. We don’t do it for those who are citizens, and we are not going to do that for those who are undocumented.” – New York Mayor Eric Adams after meeting with Border Czar Tom Homan
  • “If a Trump supporter went into DC and assaulted AOC so badly that she got put in an arm sling, it would be international news. But since a trans man assaulted a GOP woman, barely a peep.” – Rogan O’Handley
  • “Pretty interesting that a healthcare CEO is murdered in cold blood on the streets of NYC and nobody on the Left is talking about gun control.” – Dave Rubin
  • “Poll results from the Manhattan Institute (show) that by a three-to-one majority, Americans want to treat all Americans the same regardless of race or ethnicity, rather than install racial preference policies. This is a rejection of the divisive ‘race-conscious’ orthodoxy of the left, and another sign that ‘wokeism’ is on the decline.” – Stephen Moore
