2022 LA Senate race: on Immigration


Gary Chambers: Open to abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

If he does make the runoff, Chambers, who has been labeled a "firebrand" and a "provocateur," will face accusations that he is too far out of the political mainstream. Chambers is open to abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement--the federal agency that deports immigrants in the country illegally--and he led street protests against the police killings of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge and George Floyd in Minneapolis.

John Neely Kennedy: Biden's immigration policy people are "pink-haired 'wokers'"

This year, over 2 million people will come into this country illegally. To me there are only two possible explanations. The first is incompetence. It may be that the president has put in charge of his immigration policy a bunch of pink-haired 'wokers' who don't know their ass from their elbow. I use 'ass' in the King James Bible sense. It may be that the president's put in charge of his immigration policy people who shouldn't be allowed to think for themselves because it's too dangerous.
