They would get that much beloved and talked about pathway to citizenship because I guess they were smart enough to come into the country when Joe Biden, remember I was going to say held the floodgates open, but no, they permanently welded those open so we could get the maximum amount of illegals possible in.

So all of those people would just get to stay here because

I don't know, Maria Salazar can't give an answer other than because apparently they're the people who are picking your peppers and doing your chores.

Well, Maria Salazar, I would like to inform you that you sort of created the problem that you're actually setting out to fix.

And that is that you, she's a very wealthy woman, and your elite friends are the only people who can afford the help that you import and then you pay cheap wages.

You've hollowed out industries like American manufacturing, every factory ever.

You shipped those over to China.

You made the wages for agricultural work so depressed and so low that Americans realistically won't do it.

And now you want to sit on the House floor and basically give yourself a pat on the back for creating an economic reality that necessitates you importing mass amounts of foreign cheap slave labor?

I mean, screw you.

I am so sick and tired of this revisionist history that the establishment Republicans want to throw and shove down our throats that what we voted for in 2024 was anything less than complete and utter mass deportations.

There were no asterisks on the deportations.

The signs that people held up said mass deportations, not the worst of the worst, not criminals.

All of them, at least 20 million, probably 30 million.

Even those of you who say 65 million, I probably agree with you.

Immigration policy for MAGA is, always has been, and always will be about scale, not these one-off cases.

That's what build the wall is about.

It was treating immigration as a sovereignty problem, not an optics or perception management problem that these weak people like Maria Salazar and frankly every other Republican president ever are so scared to actually hold the line on.

It's absolutely disgusting to see these calls for softening our approach on immigration to only the criminals.

And then realistically, they're probably going to give a pathway to citizenship to these people anyways because they're so obsessed with the cheap labor.
