in the country. I'll take one more question.
00:02
Mr. Miller, a federal appeals judge...
00:04
Sir, when are we going to see accountability and consequences for
00:08
Secretary of State and local officials that are violating AUSC 1324
00:12
by harboring illegal aliens?
00:15
As well as, isn't it kind of bizarre that
00:18
Chris Van Hollen tried to smuggle
00:21
and facilitate the re-entry of this illegal alien
00:24
also in violation of AUSC 1324?
00:26
We also haven't heard any stories about the Logan Act this time around for whatever reason.
00:29
So, it's a great question.
00:36
An knowledgeable question.
00:37
I don't get a lot of questions around here where people are citing the Immigration and Nationality Act.
00:41
So, that's great.
00:43
You're exactly right that the sanctuary cities are engaged in
00:47
multiple criminal violations,
00:49
harboring, smuggling, inducing, obstructing justice,
00:53
obstructing official proceedings,
00:54
and many other crimes.
00:56
And this is something that the Department of Justice is taking a very hard look at.
01:00
I will just say that it is my view,
01:03
the view of this administration,
01:05
that these cities are engaged in systemic criminal violations,
01:10
and that they are engaged in a scheme to nullify and obstruct the duly enacted laws of the United States of America.
01:17
And I would again note, when we talk about morality, we talk about decency.
01:22
Sanctuary cities shield criminal illegal aliens from removal.
01:25
We repeatedly go into communities and arrest illegal aliens who were previously in custody,
01:30
that they refused to turn over,
01:32
that were sent back onto the street,
01:34
that have subsequently raped or abused a child.
01:36
I just want you to think about that for a second.
01:39
You have sanctuary cities, like Los Angeles, like Boston, like Chicago,
01:44
where illegal aliens will be booked, arrested, placed into city or state custody,
01:50
charged with serious crimes.
01:52
ICE will ask them to be turned over for deportation.
01:55
They will willfully release them back onto the street,
01:58
obstructing federal law enforcement,
02:00
doing so at a time and place that they're choosing,
02:02
making sure that we don't know where and when they will be set free.
02:05
And then those illegal aliens will go out and take someone's son or someone's daughter
02:10
and abuse and rape them.
02:12
This is, the word scandal doesn't even come close to describing the enormity of the evil
02:19
that we are talking about with these policies.
02:21
But repeatedly subjecting citizens on purpose, deliberately, deliberately,
02:25
with malice aforethought,
02:27
to crimes against them and their families by individuals who by law shall be removed from this country.
02:32
You know, and we have a whole body of immigration law, by the way,
02:36
the last administration shredded,
02:38
that says illegal aliens shall not be allowed to enter the country,
02:41
shall be detained through removal,
02:43
shall not be set free,
02:45
that they chose repeatedly, in mass,
02:49
to not only ignore,
02:50
but to give them parole,
02:51
to give them work permits,
02:52
to give them welfare,
02:53
a scheme to violate our laws.
02:55
You're not talking about just one time,
02:56
or two times,
02:57
or three times.
02:58
Millions and millions of times,
03:00
they engage in this scheme.
03:02
So much criminality,
03:03
that it defies our ability to even catalog it.
03:06
And the wages of that,
03:08
the destruction that created,
03:10
can only be measured in the tears of all the moms and dads whose kids are now dead,
03:14
whether dead by drugs,
03:15
or dead by crime.
03:16
And that doesn't even measure the impacts on our education system.
03:19
I mean, we always talk about how low our test scores in this country.
03:22
And no one ever talks about the fact that we have a completely open border
03:24
until Donald Trump with the world flooding our schools with students
03:28
who are not even literate in the language in the countries from which they came.
03:32
Destroyed our education system.
03:33
Destroyed our infrastructure.
03:35
Destroyed our healthcare system.
03:37
Where do Americans go to get their cities back?
03:39
Where do they go to get their lives back?
03:40
Where do they go to get their lost income?
03:42
How many small businesses have been closed over the years
03:44
because they were competing with illegal labor?
03:47
How many lives and dreams have been destroyed?
03:49
The other side in this debate,
03:52
this isn't a debate between two reasonable points of view.
03:56
It's a debate between a political party led by Donald Trump
03:59
that believes in nationhood,
04:01
that believes in sovereignty,
04:02
that believes in the idea that there is such a thing as citizenship and it's sacred,
04:05
and a party that is literally waging war against the very idea of nationhood.
04:10
And as far as they're concerned,
04:12
every single American citizen who's hurt or killed as a result,
04:15
it's acceptable collateral damage.
04:17
Well, it's not acceptable to Donald Trump,
04:18
and we're shutting it down and we'll never apologize for it.
