In a recent discussion surrounding the incoming administration of President-elect Trump, GOP Congressman Ralph Norman from South Carolina shared some fiery opinions about the country’s border crisis. As he sat on a channel spotlighting the pressing issues at hand, Norman emphasized how the surge of illegal immigration and the influx of drugs have become significant concerns for many Americans. He made it clear that he believes these issues escalated under the current administration’s policies, and he’s ready to see some changes.
The congressman pointed out that the situation at the southern border is so serious that every state is now considered a “border state.” This alarming shift, he said, underscores the important reason why people voted to put Trump back in the White House. According to Norman, President Trump’s previous term saw a decrease in illegal crossings and increased border security measures, leading to a more prosperous America. Sadly, those days seem like a distant memory as Norman highlighted that under President Biden, the country is seeing a dramatic rise in illegal entries, estimated at nearly nine million individuals in recent years.
Norman expressed fervently that the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of Democratic leadership, especially Vice President Kamala Harris, who has been labeled the “border czar.” He criticized her approach to immigration, suggesting that her policies have left the doors wide open for criminals and others wishing to exploit the system. Norman painted a heartfelt picture of the human cost, recalling tragic stories of innocent lives affected by these policies, including victims of crime.
In addition to his strong condemnation of Harris, Norman mentioned Tom Homan, a former Immigration and Customs Enforcement director, as someone who understands the gravity of the situation and has the right approach to enforce immigration laws effectively. He emphasized that the Democratic leadership’s failure to address the border crisis has resulted in an intentional act of “invasion” affecting countless communities across America. Norman believes that with the right team and leadership, the chaos can be reversed.
Looking ahead, Congressman Norman expressed optimism that President Trump will enforce a hardline approach, which includes mass deportations. However, he provided a sharp critique of critics who label these plans as cruel, arguing that the real cruelty lies in the consequences of unchecked immigration—such as the growing drug epidemic and violent crime associated with gangs and trafficking operations. As the debate continues, many Americans will be watching to see how these issues unfold under the forthcoming administration. They’re hoping for real change and a focus on the safety and security of U.S. citizens.
