Look, it's fine if you want to oppose the president's immigration policy.
We had a debate on that in the campaign, though.
The president won.
The American people want to stop the slow motion invasion we saw for four years in the Biden administration.
They want to deport illegal aliens, especially violent, illegal aliens.
What you cannot do is violently attack law enforcement and obstruct the proper functioning of federal authority.
Well, typically, it's when the mayors and the governors of a city or a state refuse to protect innocent lives, refuse to protect federal property and federal personnel.
The president can use the National Guard if necessary.
President Eisenhower, for instance, used the National Guard in my state when Orval Faubus, a Democrat segregationist, refused to follow the law and integrate Little Rock Central in the 1950s.
The president has the ultimate authority over the National Guard, just like of course he does over the active duty troops.
As President Trump has said, he would like to see the local authorities and local police handle this situation.
But the scenes we saw over the weekend shows that they're either unwilling or unable to.
You have cars being smashed and set on fire.
You have violent street gangs attacking law enforcement and attacking federal authorities, people stopping traffic, not just on city streets, but on major highways.
throwing bricks and cement and frozen water bottles at federal authorities.
We can't tolerate this kind of lawlessness, and it needs to end now.
And President Trump, with whom I consulted over the weekend, promised that he is going to protect innocent lives and property and federal property and personnel in Los Angeles.
Yeah, Ben, I mean, the Democrats are an open border party.
They have been for a long time.
We saw that in the Biden era when we had a slow motion invasion.
