🚨 Support is surging for Sen. Tommy Tuberville and Rep. Andy Ogles’ Assimilation Act, and it’s exactly what America needs right now. This bill would: • Ban chain migration • Require merit-based immigration only • Abolish the diversity visa lottery • Demand good moral character • Enforce much tighter vetting Tuberville nailed it: “We cannot allow people to come here to change our culture, our constitution, our laws… If people come here, they come here to assimilate. If they don’t, they go home.”

Florida's Next Governor Byron Donalds throws his full support behind capping all immigration and completely abolishing the H-1B program. He emphasizes that America already has the talent, they just haven’t been trained right — the issue is the education system, which must be fixed. Donalds call for: - Abolishing H-1B visas - Implementing strict immigration quotas - Introducing a biometric exit system - Ending birthright citizenship "We have the talent, it just hasn't been trained right. The H-1B system is a complete scam and chain migration needs to go." "Going to quotas is what we need to do. One of the bills im filing is creating a biometric exit system. We created the entry, we never created exit. How do we even know when visas leave?" "You have to end birthright citizenship. The immigration system has to be completely overhauled from top to bottom."

🚨 “THIS IS OUR COUNTRY - DEPORT THEM ALL.” REP. ANDY OGLES DELIVERS A CONGRESSIONAL MIC DROP - YES! - AMERICA IS FIGHTING BACK 🇺🇸 Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) just delivered one of the most raw, confrontational, and unapologetic moments Congress has seen in years, and Washington, the media, and CAIR are predictably melting down. There was no hedging, no soft language, no walk-backs. Ogles opened with a declaration: “Let’s be clear. The United States of America is safer today because of President Trump.” “The United States of America is the dominant predator across all landscapes.” Then he went straight to the numbers Congress has spent decades dodging: “Since the 1965 Hart–Celler Act, we’ve seen chain migration on a scale I don’t think even the authors of that bill could have imagined.” He revealed stunning facts - on the record. “We’ve seen roughly 60 million migrants come into this country - about 90% from third-world countries.” “There are roughly 300,000 Afghans in America. About 200,000 came under Biden.” “Approximately 45% of Afghans are on food stamps. Sixty-eight percent are on Medicaid.” Ogles didn’t stop at domestic impact. He cited official European crime statistics that governments overseas are now openly warning about. “Paris: 48% of crimes committed by foreigners - most of them Muslim - according to the French Interior Ministry.” “London: 40% of sex crimes committed by foreigners, most of them Muslim - Metropolitan Police data.” “Rome: 83% of street robberies by non-EU citizens - almost all Muslim.” He then brought it home. “Minneapolis, Cedar-Riverside - a Somali hub - violent crime rose 56%.” “Dearborn, Michigan: crime 105% above the national average.” Ogles cited a case in his own state that RAIR Foundation exposed, saying that in Nashville, a Somali migrant who entered the U.S. in 2015 raped and killed a woman on the steps of a church. And then came the moment that detonated across social media, cable news, and activist networks. 🔥“I’ve had enough.” 🔥“I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again.” 🔥“Deport them all.” 🚨“This is our country. We decide who comes in, and we decide who has to leave.” Predictably, CAIR and its allies immediately erupted, accusing, labeling, blah, blah, blah, precisely as they did after Tommy Tuberville and Chip Roy spoke the truth. But here’s the reality, they can’t scream away: Andy Ogles didn’t invent these numbers. He cited them. He didn’t incite violence. He articulated a policy position grounded in national sovereignty, law, and public safety. And he said what millions of Americans are thinking but have been told they’re not allowed to say. This was a line being drawn. WE ARE BACK. America’s leaders are finally fighting. And the old intimidation playbook isn’t working anymore. 🇺🇸 Stand with Andy Ogles. 🇺🇸 Stand with leaders who refuse to be silenced. 🇺🇸 America is done apologizing.

Sorry Tennessee It Looks Like You’re Up Next 🚨 Department Of Homeland Security Sends Letters Saying Illegal Immigrants Will Be Sent To Tennessee Cities “The city of Franklin received this letter from the US Department of Homeland Security. In short, it says that hundreds of people going through the immigration process could end up in Middle Tennessee cities.” “The notice says DHS may release noncitizens from custody who have been fully screened and vetted, pending the outcome of their immigration process.” “Nashville mayor Freddie O'Connell was unsure as of this morning if his administration has received this same letter” “It's very troubling that, you know, someone can come to this country, name Nashville or Greater Nashville as the destination.” “US congressman Andy Ogles telling Fox 17 News that he had a conference call with DHS yesterday with a series of questions, including a request for updated numbers, how people will be tracked, and if they have prior convictions.”

JUST IN: Biden revives Trump executive order on illegal immigration into the United States, says, "Today, I am moving past Republican obstruction and utilizing the executive authorities available to me as President to address the border issue. Ideally, I would have preferred to tackle this through bipartisan legislation, as that's the only sustainable way to fix our broken system, hire more border patrol agents, asylum officers, and judges. However, Republicans have left me with no choice. "I am announcing actions to bar migrants who cross our southern border unlawfully from receiving asylum. Migrants will be restricted from receiving asylum at our southern border unless they seek it through an established lawful process. For those who come to the United States legally, for example, by making an appointment and arriving at a port of entry, asylum will still be available. "However, if an individual chooses not to use our legal pathways and comes without permission, against the law, they will be restricted from receiving asylum and staying in the United States. This action will help us gain control of our border and restore order to the process. "This ban will remain in place until the number of people trying to enter illegally is reduced to a manageable level for our system. We will carry out this order consistent with all our responsibilities under international law." EARLIER, I WROTE: President Biden has just issued a new executive order that prevents migrants from seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border when daily crossings exceed 2,500. The order allows for the quick return of migrants and will only reopen the border to asylum seekers when crossings drop below 1,500 daily for a week, plus an additional two-week wait. This move addresses voter concerns and mirrors a blocked 2018 policy by President Trump.

This is insane! Most Americans have no clue how massive the illegal immigration problem is in our country. I hope this video helps illustrate. On our ride with #ICE ICE Baltimore Friday morning we were in pursuit of a criminal illegal suspect in the white van. As the team was about to engage, the vehicle pulled into a parking lot with more illegals than I’ve ever seen in one place waiting to get picked up to take more American jobs. Unfortunately, we did not have the 50 units it probably would’ve taken to conduct the operation to apprehend all of these illegals effectively. We did manage to make the arrest on the targeted vehicle with the criminal illegal inside, but we’ll have to come back for that parking lot. The reality is there are tens of millions of criminal legal aliens in our country, millions that were invited in under Joe Biden and the Democrat’s invasion. Now the same radical communist activists who were a part of supporting the invasion are attacking #ICE for doing their job. It’s very simple. Let #ICE do their job and you won’t get shot! If we allow these terrorist activists and the politicians that encourage them to win, we will not have a country in a very short period of time. The sad reality is that is the objective. We have traitors in our own country, many of them politicians some of them in the media and some in these activist organizations, whose objectives are to destroy this country from within. It’s our job as patriots to defeat them. No more compromise with traitors! God bless #ICE! God bless Border Patrol! God bless President Trump! God bless America! And to hell with the Traitors!

Chris Murphy just dropped the mask and exposed the Democrat endgame on the Senate floor. He declared it's time to change the Senate rules because Republicans used reconciliation for appropriations after Democrats refused to agree, particularly on protecting agencies like DHS now carrying out mass deportations. Murphy's warning is blunt: Once the lid is off, Democrats will never negotiate again. They will ram their entire agenda through reconciliation with zero Republican votes. What he calls a "hard to get agreement" is Democrats' refusal to fund the government unless they can keep importing and shielding their future voter base. Their months-long lies on DHS have been exposed. Republicans cannot afford to play defense any longer. The 60-vote threshold is dying. It is time to NUKE THE FILIBUSTER while you still hold the majority. Jam through every initiative and bill that gives the GOP base REAL RESULTS: voter ID, airtight border security, mass deportations, LEGAL Immigration reform, energy production, spending restraint, and pro-American policies. Deliver tangible victories now that motivate voters to show up in massive numbers for the midterms. Fail to act decisively and Democrats will return to turn the Senate into a pure majority-rule weapon against everything you stand for. The clock is ticking.

Just a reminder: If you come on my show, you’re going to be asked about the affordability crisis crushing young Americans. It must be solved. There’s no greater threat to this country than the theft of the American Dream. It's time to: - Ban H-1B Visas, America has the talent - Deport everyone on visa programs, overstays, or engaging in visa fraud - Severe cap on legal immigration, like zero - Build 10 million homes across the country Texas AG Ken Paxton lays out exactly how he would drive down housing costs and restore that dream for the next generation: "This is a huge problem created by too much governent spending. That's why we have higher interest rates and our national debt is $38 trillion. This is one of my top three issues. It robs the American people of opportunity to have stable pricing and to buy a home. "We have high property taxes in Texas. We should eliminate property taxes, we have the ability to do it. That would help a lot of buyers. On the federal side, stop spending so interest rates and inflation come down."

I have consistently maintained this view regarding illegal immigration from our southern border, and I extend the same principle to those seeking to enter from elsewhere: immigration is not a global entitlement. Entry into the United States is not a moral guarantee—it is a policy decision that must be made based on our national interests. Period. The United States has always been a nation of immigrants, yes—but only when immigration was tied to a clear contribution to the country’s development. We cannot continue to frame immigration as an emotional issue. It is a matter of economic limits, social cohesion, and political responsibility. Assimilation is necessary, but it is not sufficient. Even the most well-meaning immigrant draws from the same finite pool of housing, education, healthcare, and job opportunities as native-born citizens. That is not an ideological opinion—it is a reality of scarcity. Resources are not elastic. We have overcrowded schools, strained hospitals, and a housing crisis that is pricing out working-class Americans. Only a fool would advocate adding more people to a stressed system, regardless of their character or intentions, worsens these challenges. This is not about demonizing anyone. It is about prioritizing Americans—particularly the working-class, who are often the first to feel the pressure of unchecked immigration. Low-skilled workers are often the ones who are asked to absorb the costs of policies designed by elites who remain immune to their disastrous consequences. I think we need a temporary immigration moratorium, it’s not isolationist; it is pragmatic. It is not a wall against the world—it is a pause to rebuild our foundation. Before we open the door any wider, we must ensure the house is in order. We must fix our schools, address our housing shortage, restore the integrity of our immigration laws, and rebalance a labor market that is growing increasingly hostile to the working people of this country. Immigration must serve the national interest—not sentimentalism, not globalism, and certainly not guilt. Until we can guarantee that our immigration system works for the American people, we have no obligation—moral or legal—to accept others simply because they ask or because some people feel bad. This is not a rejection of compassion. It is a reaffirmation of responsibility.
