But

Now, as we approach the midterms, unfortunately, the same old forces in Washington and even at the state levels are telling Trump, hey, pump the brakes.

You're affecting us business owners, et cetera, et cetera.

But the reality and what we are trying to accomplish here is to say, look, the reason that you won in 2024, maybe the biggest reason, and the signature issue of the America First movement is

is immigration and is delivering on the promises of mass deportations and so what we are doing as an organization and through this master deportation coalition is saying here is the blueprint both at the federal policy level both with and without legislation and at the state level to accomplish at least one million deportations per year and that would make good on trump's promise of

conducting the largest mass deportation operation in American history.

If I were the president, I would point to the realities of the violence of what's going on in Mexico.

The images of the CJNG cartel fighting the Mexican National Guard and the Mexican military, burning cars, burning big box stores, threatening everyone on the streets with murder if they did not obey them and get out of the streets to clear for their operations against the Mexican government.

What people need to realize is that

The pocketbooks of that cartel are lined by an open border and by what happened under Joe Biden.

Even the people who come here that everyone says are good people that commit no additional crime other than crossing the border illegally, those people line up.

the pocketbooks of these cartels.

And they are the ones that are providing the financing for them to be able to take this violent action and engage in drug smuggling and human trafficking and all of the activities that we see that shock us.

And so if I was the president, I would say these are the fruits of an open border, are violent military cartels that are capable of doing battle against nation states.

And we have that right on our

right on our bottom border, on our southern border.

And that's something that we're going to have to contend with.

And the reality is the cartels have infrastructure in the United States as well.

And so we're going to have to contend with that.
