Benny Johnson: “If there could be silver linings in all of this, it must be that mass deportations have to happen. Remigration has to happen for people that are incompatible with Western civilization.”

BENNY JOHNSON: : Now this is a remarkable sort of pivot here because now it seems like, congressman, there are Texans in harm's way. Again, for decisions that were made by imbeciles that was not the Trump administration. We talked so much about, like, how the Trump administration is having to clean up the messes of generations of cowards and cowardly leadership and suicidal policies, whether it be, you know, obviously, open borders or letting 18,000 people on the terrorist watch list in here.
We saw one of those refugees, asylum seekers shoot up a Texas bar, a bar in Austin, kill some Texans. It's tragic. Can you talk us through how should Texas secure itself? There's -- I saw a lot of people in my timeline talking about the Islamification of Texas. And saying that, you know, listen. The enemy is already here. The DHS has not been able to deport those 18,000 people. In fact, they're -- like, they've only been able to deport 10% of the 18,000 terrorists that we know are here in America. We also know that there's millions and millions of other unvetted criminal aliens that are residing here. What must be done now?
REP. WESLEY HUNT (GUEST): Be vigilant. Be aware. If you see something, say something. These are the consequences of having 20 million people in our country over the four years, and we have no idea who they are. We have no idea where they went. We have no idea what their intentions are in this country, which is why having a secure border is very important. As I've been traveling all over the state running for Senate, I was in El Paso a couple of weeks ago, and I was talking to some Border Patrol agents at the border. And I asked him, I said, how many people have tried to come into the country illegally yesterday? He looked at me and said, yesterday? None. I said, what about last week? He goes, maybe, like, one or two. Our border is now secure. We didn't even need any more laws, no resolutions. We simply needed a new president to enforce the laws on the books. Well, now we are now in a different phase of this. This is why we have to empower ICE so they could do their jobs, so they could find these people and send them and get them the hell out of this country and send them back home. We can't stop them from doing that.
JOHNSON: Forgive me for the interruption. I just think that if there should be -- if there could be silver linings in all of this, it must be that mass deportations have to happen. Remigration has to happen for people that are incompatible with Western civilization. It has to happen.
