Eric Hovde on Immigration

Bipartisan bill would allow 5000 illegal immigrants daily

Baldwin: We negotiated on a bipartisan basis in the senate the toughest border bill that they've seen in years. It would have added 1500 border patrol agents to our southern border. Had it passed in the spring, they would be there now. The bill also deployed technology to our southern border to allow us to scan every vehicle that comes through the ports of entry. But you know what? Eric Hovde and Donald Trump wanted the political issue. They wanted the chaos. they didn't want the solution.

Like a rotten onion, many layers to this open border

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has reported about 10 million nationwide encounters with removable noncitizens since 2021. The Department of Homeland security defines "encounter" as any encounter of a removable noncitizen by Customs and Border Protection Office of Field Operations or Border Patrol.

The legal immigration system, however, Hovde said, is "an absolute farce," too difficult and should be fixed. "Our legal immigration process is fundamentally broken, so we've got to fix that, and we have to close the illegal immigration process," he said.
