Sen. Barraso on Habeas Corpus: Dems Lost the Election Because They Opened the Borders to 10 Million Illegal Immigrants

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
WELKER: “Finally, senator, I want to talk about something that one of President Trump’s top aides, Stephen Miller said this week. He said the administration is actively looking at suspending habeas corpus. That’s the right to challenge a person’s detention by the government. This would be part of the broader effort to speed up their deportation policies. the Constitution says that habeas corpus may not be suspended, quote, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion. Would you vote to suspend habeas corpus since the power does ultimately lie with Congress?”

BARRASO: “The president said he will follow the law. The president says if he disagrees with the law that he will appeal those things. The president was elected, and he won every one of the battleground states on promising to secure the border and bring safety back to our communities. That’s exactly what he is doing. People do not want to live with MS-13 gang members in their communities. The Democrats lost the election because they opened the borders to 10 million illegal immigrants, including members of criminal cartels, drug dealers, gang members. That’s what the election was about, and the president is now seeing judges, district judges, radical district judges using their courts to set national standards on making it harder for the president to deport individuals, criminals, and I stand with the president.”
