Today, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) appeared on Fox News’ program, The Faulkner Focus, where he addressed several topics concerning immigration and border security. Cornyn commented on the arrest of a Wisconsin judge by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for allegedly preventing the arrest of an illegal migrant by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He also criticized Democrat governors for providing unemployment benefits to undocumented migrants and expressed approval for the actions taken by President Trump to secure the southern border within the first 100 days of his administration.
Regarding the arrest of the judge, Cornyn stated, “In America, no one is above the law, including public officials and judges.” He emphasized his support for the enforcement of immigration laws, noting, “President Trump is following through on his campaign promise and for which he received a mandate on November the 5th to enforce our immigration laws, and I support that wholeheartedly. If it means that people, including elected officials like judges, are obstructing the law and obstructing that process, they should be investigated and they should be prosecuted.”
On the topic of unemployment benefits being distributed to illegal migrants, Cornyn remarked, “There are people who are actively opposed and resisting each and every thing that President Trump and this administration is doing.” He further mentioned, “Democrats aren’t doing themselves any favor by resisting even commonsense measures like this.” He concluded by saying, “They are digging their own political grave.”
Cornyn also praised the administration’s efforts to manage the southern border, indicating that significant progress has been made without the need for new legislation. He explained, “The border is finally under control. And we found out that it didn’t require the passage of new laws like Democrats, including President Biden, had said previously. It just required a new President and somebody committed to enforcing the law.”
