Podcasts about illegal immigration reform

The show follows a little different in light of President Trump hitting his first 100 days in office. I decided to use just one interview as the main through-line of the episode and intersperse other related news items, sound bites and comments along the way. I also felt I need some time to just talk without slogging through one news story after the other. I share how my wife do a weekly show called, “The Marriage Fit Podcast.” I also discuss how we continuously set a high-bar for our kids and how I believe Donald Trump is trying to do that for our country and, in turn, the rest of the world. The interview was conducted by Terry Moran of ABC News in the Oval Office. It allows me to weigh-in on tariffs, the cost of China's exports, how the Democrat Party is fighting so hard to keep all the illegals inside our borders, how much they keep fighting for the return of an MS-13 gang member and more. I tie-in a moment from the Detroit rally with the latest attempt by yet another radical, activist judge who says CBP has to have arrest warrants before they arrest any illegal inside our country. It's ludicrous. In fact, it let's me spend time on Bill Clinton's Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA). This law, still in effect, is what allows Trump's agenda to be enacted, yet Judges are literally ruling against the rule of law. We also look at a newly leaked memo from the Biden/Harris days regarding DNA testing to make sure children were with their real family members. It's a crime what Mayorkas and the Biden Administration put in place! Next we tackle the fraud, waste and abuse thus far discovered by DOGE. Throughout the interview, Terry Moran kept interjecting opinion as fact and wanted to push the Democrat narrative with each topic, to include whether or not DOJ investigations are underway. Finally, we close with the recent win by the Liberal party in Canada and what does it mean for Trump? Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

[SEGMENT 2-1] Democrats backing away from stupidity 3 Congratulations Americans, Patriots. Why am I congratulating you? Because YOU forced Democrats to regain part of their sanity. I'm not sure what step this is in the 12-step program, perhaps Step 12, but it's coming. I've NEVER seen an administration so decisive in its actions. The people being selected know their jobs. And they are already making an impact. The FBI is running scared. I saw that McCabe hates that Kash Patel has been picked to run the FBI. In any other Democratic circles, this pick would be heralded. An Indian running the FBI. He has to be the first, right? But no hoopla. And Vivek Ramaswamy co-chairing DOGE with Elon Musk. Another first for many reasons, but no hoopla over it.   And while we will soon feel the effects of the Trump economy first-hand and in a great way, the most impactful to date involves illegal immigration.[SEGMENT 2-2] Democrats backing away from stupidity 4   Remember when Johnston compared his city's commitment to protecting illegal immigrants to the iconic “Tank Man” moment during the Tiananmen Square protests? With zero irony, he boasted about deploying 50,000 angry soccer moms to protect migrants from deportation. “It's like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right?” he gushed. This was the same guy who told federal immigration officials, “More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you'd have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants.” His bravado didn't last long. President Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, responded with a mic drop: CNN's Kasie Hunt visibly stunned after playing a clip of Tom Homan saying he would gladly throw Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in jail for defying Trump's deportation operation. This is the best video you will watch all day. Homan: Me and the Denver mayor agree on one thing. He's… pic.twitter.com/ab4XMw5GrK — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) November 28, 2024 “He's willing to go to jail. I'm willing to put him in jail.” Now that reality has set in, Johnston is singing a different tune. He's gone from "Come get me, Bro!" to "Don't taze me, Bro!" With Denver's resources drained and voters increasingly restless, the mayor's focus has shifted from grandstanding to damage control. Funny how that works. Now that Tom Homan has threatened to throw Democrat Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in prison, he says he ”regrets” making tough guy comments about having his police force stand against federal forces to stop mass deportations “I certainly did not mean to stoke fear on either side of… pic.twitter.com/tB2yfn8csM — Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) November 29, 2024 REPORTER: It sounds like you're walking back the comments from a couple days ago saying that you would be willing to send Denver police officers. Do you regret making those comments and now getting questions like this? JOHNSTON: Yeah. REPORTER: Me asking you about that, and I'm sure Denver police officers are now going home to their families and saying, "Hey, I hear the mayor is telling you that you might be deployed to face off against federal forces." Do you regret making those comments?  JOHNSTON: Yeah. What I wanted people to understand was the scale of what could be coming if we take the president at his word, which is I don't think anyone envisioned U.S. military troops being deployed to American streets to gather up women and children.  [SEGMENT 2-3] Democrats backing away from stupidity 5 Give me your Leftist position and I will show you multiple Democrats who are backing away from Biden administration policies. It's almost as if Democrats were PRAYING for somebody to bring back sanity.   Talk about backtracking. But Johnston made the right decision. Because the Trump administration is serious about enforcing the laws. And if it means locking up a few hard asses, then so be it. Sanctuary cities like Denver operate in open defiance of federal immigration laws. The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996 expressly prohibits policies that block local officials from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. Despite this, Leftist mayors nationwide have flaunted sanctuary policies, betting that the Biden administration's Department of Justice would look the other way. But under Trump, that bet didn't pay off. His administration cracked down on sanctuary jurisdictions, threatening to withhold federal funding and enforce existing laws. This enforcement resonated with voters who saw sanctuary policies as a betrayal of their safety and sovereignty. Why Voters Backed Trump—and Why They'll Do It Again Trump's appeal in 2016 and beyond wasn't just about “building the wall.” It was about rejecting Leftist policies that prioritize illegal immigrants over American citizens. Sanctuary cities like Denver epitomize the broader Democratic Party's indifference to working-class Americans. When voters in Colorado and across the country see their tax dollars funding migrant shelters while their own communities crumble, it's no wonder they rally behind someone promising to put America first. Sanctuary City Spectacle: Comedy, Tragedy, or Both? The Democrats' immigration debacle is a tragicomedy of errors. Sanctuary policies like those in Denver don't just fail—they spectacularly implode, leaving taxpayers holding the bag. Johnston's flip-flop from “Tiananmen Square defender” to reluctant realist underscores the absurdity of it all. At the end of the day, Johnston and his ilk are a symptom of a larger problem: a political party more interested in virtue signaling than governance. Illegal immigration is not a crisis of compassion; it's a crisis of competence. And as long as Leftists continue to prioritize their progressive agenda over the rule of law, cities like Denver will remain stuck cleaning up the mess. Thankfully for Denverites, Coloradans, and all Americans, this nonsense is about to come to a necessary and hopefully final end.   Dallas Mayor changes to MAGA Admittedly I treat these flip-floppers with skepticism. It's easy to abandon something when you see that it's a loser. And the Democrats as a party are losers. Still, the fundamental principles should preclude a switch. Take me for example. I can't stand the Republican Party. But I have never abandoned them, for three reasons. One, the Democrats are f'g crazy. Two, Republicans freed the slaves. Three, as Trump proved, Republicans are redeemable. Perhaps that why Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson flipped as well. He left the Democratic Party last fall. And some say that Johnson's departure should have served as an early warning for Democrats. Early? Democrats should have seen this coming since 2016.     Many political pundits were stunned when President-elect Donald Trump led Republicans to sweeping wins earlier this month, breaking apart traditionally Democratic coalitions to clinch a second term and secure majorities in the House and Senate.  The red wave didn't shock Johnson, however, who said during a Fox and Friends appearance this week that “it turns out I was kind of a canary in the coal mine.” “I didn't think I was going to be some anomaly that everyone needed to worry about,” he said. “I thought that I was going to be a harbinger of things to come.” On Fox & Friends @Johnson4Dallas discussed how @GOP mayors across the country are excited to work with @realDonaldTrump to deliver on the promise of making our cities great again. pic.twitter.com/BsMaQuJbNg — Republican Mayors Association (@GOPMayorsAssn) November 20, 2024 Johnson governed one of the largest cities in the country as a Democrat for over four years before shocking colleagues by joining Trump's MAGA movement. Citing desires to use conservative principles to restore urban centers like his own back to glory, the mayor said that too often, Democratic policies “exacerbate homelessness, coddle criminals, and make it harder for ordinary people to make a living.” In the months leading up to the election, Trump received sharp criticism for saying Democrats had destroyed former manufacturing bastions and big cities like Detroit and Milwaukee.

April 1, 1997. The day that IIRAIRA (the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act) went into effect. The day we entered the Age of Immigration Darkness. Those of us involved in immigration battles at that time had an inkling what the future held. We knew immigration law was entering unchartered territory. We knew we were in for a long term fight. We have yet to recover.

IT IS INTERESTING POLITICAL HISTORY TO NOTE THAT THE 3/10 YEAR BAR WAS IMPLEMENTED INTO THE U.S. IMMIGRATION LAW DURING PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON'S WATCH.: Hillary Clinton on Thursday pledged to repeal an immigration provision that blocks undocumented immigrant from returning to the United States legally for a wait period of either three or ten years. The provision, which was included in the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, prevented undocumented immigrants who had overstayed their visas or crossed the border illegally from returning to the U.S. legally after an extended wait period, depending on the length of time that they had been in the country illegally.

www.RKTNN.com President Trump signed a presidential memorandum on Thursday cracking down on welfare-dependent legal immigration to the United States in an effort to protect American taxpayers. The order signed by Trump will enforce existing 1996 laws known as the “Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act” and “Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act” which were signed by then-President Bill Clinton. The order ensures that federal agencies will enforce the existing 1996 laws which seek to save American taxpayers by having their public welfare funding benefits reimbursed when they are used by a legal immigrant.

But there’s an exception to the rule. And this exception has affected about half a million people, according to immigration experts. It’s a law, known as the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which says that anyone who enters the U.S. illegally, stays for more than a year and then returns to their native country, is barred from entering the U.S. for 10 years. And if they’ve entered the U.S. illegally more than once, it’s a lifetime bar. For this week’s Shortwave, P.J. Tobia interviews a family that’s been barred for years under this act from returning to the United States. Last month we reported on deported veterans of the U.S. military.
