In a stunning betrayal of the America First movement, several Florida sheriffs are now openly calling on President Trump to abandon his campaign promises and create amnesty pathways for illegal aliens who have managed to secure employment in the United States.
The sheriffs, who should be standing with our President as he works to restore law and order to our immigration system, are instead parroting the same failed talking points we've heard from establishment Republicans and Democrats for decades. Their demand for a so-called 'path to citizenship' is nothing more than rewarding lawbreakers while spitting in the face of legal immigrants who followed the rules.
This comes at the worst possible time, as Trump's administration is finally making real progress on the mass deportation operations that Americans voted for in overwhelming numbers. These sheriffs are essentially asking the President to abandon the very policies that got him re-elected.
Rewarding Criminal Behavior
Let's be crystal clear about what these sheriffs are really asking for: amnesty for people who broke federal law by entering our country illegally. The fact that some of these lawbreakers have found work doesn't magically erase their criminal entry into America.
What message does this send to the millions of people waiting in line to immigrate legally? What about the American workers whose wages have been suppressed by illegal labor for decades? These sheriffs seem more concerned about protecting foreign nationals than serving the citizens who pay their salaries.
This is exactly the kind of establishment thinking that President Trump was elected to eliminate. We've tried comprehensive immigration reform before – it never works. Every 'path to citizenship' just encourages more illegal border crossings.
Standing with Trump
Patriots across Florida need to make their voices heard. These sheriffs work for us, not for illegal aliens or the Chamber of Commerce donors who profit from cheap illegal labor. President Trump has a mandate from the American people, and local law enforcement should be helping him execute that agenda, not undermining it.
Will Florida voters remember which sheriffs stood with foreign lawbreakers instead of American citizens when election time comes around?
