Jason Smith: Bring back Trump's effective border agenda


(From Eighth District Congressman Jason Smith)

On September 22, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department Officer David Lee tragically passed away after he was struck by the car of an illegal immigrant who was intoxicated, driving without a license, and going way over the speed limit. Officer Lee was a father, husband, and a hero who dedicated his life to protecting the community. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.

What makes this tragedy more painful is that it never should have happened. The illegal immigrant who struck Officer Lee had a criminal record; he was on probation for a 2020 DWI case and felony domestic assault conviction for breaking down the door of the home he shared with a woman, then strangling, punching, and kicking her. He should have been deported for committing these crimes; instead, he was given a slap on the wrist and released on bond.







Far too many innocent people have been murdered or violently attacked by dangerous people who are living in this country illegally. Back in March, an illegal immigrant stabbed two people at a laundromat in the St. Louis area. In February, 22-year-old Laken Riley was brutally murdered by a Venezuelan national who had been paroled into the country in the fall of 2022. And in June, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was murdered by two Venezuelans who were caught illegally entering the country then released. These are just a few examples of the dangerous consequences of the Biden-Harris administration’s open border agenda that they began putting in place the day they took office.

On day one of the Biden-Harris administration, they ended construction on former President Donald Trump’s border wall. They continued taking a sledgehammer to Trump’s effective border agenda by reinstating catch-and-release and getting rid of Remain in Mexico and Title 42. Thanks to their radical immigration agenda, there have been more than two million known gotaways since they took office – that’s almost double the total number from the previous 10 years combined. For 40 consecutive months, illegal immigrant crossings were higher under this administration than the highest month under Trump. And under their watch, nearly 400 suspected terrorists have been caught illegally crossing our borders; making matters worse, at least 99 of them were released into our country.

On September 27, Border czar Kamala Harris made her second trip to the border. It was nothing more than a photo-op – just like her first visit where, according to the New York Post, “federal agents on the front lines were instructed to completely sanitize the area to hide the true severity of the crisis from cameras.” 







Photo-ops and empty rhetoric won’t solve the border crisis. What we need is for the Biden-Harris administration to bring back Trump’s effective border agenda – policies they got rid of because they were Trump’s.

The chaos on the border has created major public safety and national security issues. Far too many innocent people have been murdered or violently attacked at the hands of illegal immigrants. Instead of pandering to radical Leftists who want America to be the only nation in the world without borders, the Biden-Harris administration must use the tools it has to make our border secure and our communities safe again. I will continue pushing this administration to do what’s right and bring back Trump’s tough immigration agenda.

Damn, even more misleading magat misinformation. Nowhere does this loser mention the bipartisan border bill that the orange ogre ordered his spineless subjects to shootdown. This is more division and partisan bullshit. Is there a politician as inept and ignorant as this individual?

More lies. No soul Smith at it again.

Damn, even more misinformed BS from Elvis. Nowhere does this loser say anything that resembles reality.

Don't be so cruel 723. I know you're not capable of coming up with your own ideas and resort to plagiarizing me (an authors greatest recognition is being copied by others), but geez, find a little originality please. Thanks again for recognizing my literary abilities. 🥰 Elvis

He hopes no one realizes that House Speaker Johnson (Republican, Louisiana) recessed the house until after the election in November.

If the Republicans had gotten a border deal done, then it wouldn't be a problem.

They didn't, and now they are on vacation!

We wouldn’t need a border deal if the damn dumbs would have left Trumps remain in Mexico. Be careful these are actual facts handle with care dims, you to Elvis

I'm speechless. How does one respond to 259 and not feel guilty and ashamed for harming an innocent compromised soul. I'll refrain on this one. Loading up for the next one.

It's almost as sad as all the Cancun Cruz loyalists in Texas!

@2:59 I bet you weren't aware that Biden has not touched Trump's border policies. So if you don't like what's happening at the border, blame Trump.

Are you for real? Everyone knows they did away with it, where do you get your news from?

8:18am. complete BS, just because you keep saying lies, doesn't make them truths.

In four years Trump managed to get 2% of the wall built.

Americans paid for it, not Mexico.

Trump lies.

Republican lies.

Trump didn't do anything for the border, then prevented border action so that he could run on the border.

Not very presidential, definitely not very patriotic.

The border?! Trump can’t even secure the fence at his own golf course!

He had to fight the dumbs tooth and nail. Had we got together for the betterment of our country and built it I damn well guarantee Mexico would have paid for it, one way or another. Mexico needs the USA more than we need Mexico

You won't have those cheap chicken tenders and burgers without all the immigrants doing the work.

Where are you finding cheap chicken tenders and burgers, do you know what inflation is from the Biden/Harris regime

"Mexico needs the USA more than we need Mexico". I have serious doubts about that. Considering Mexicans are coming here and working cheap labor that nobody else will perform in order to get food to your table.

"Mexico would have paid for it, one way or another" Mexico said they weren't going to pay for it. Trump, a known pathological liar, said Mexico would pay for it. What legal precedent would allow the US to FORCE Mexico to pay for something that America built on American soil?
