America has laws â and they should be enforced.
Check This Out  Dem Rep Wants To Give Amnesty To Every Illegal
Democratic Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost is calling for a pathway to citizenship for every illegal immigrant living in the United States.
Frost, a left-wing House Democrat who traveled to El Salvador in April to advocate for the release of suspected human smuggler and MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia, argued at a press conference in his central Florida district Wednesday that foreign nationals living in the United States with no legal status have not committed any crimes. The Florida Democratâs appeal for mass amnesty comes as a majority of Americans approve of the presidentâs goal to deport illegal immigrants, according to recent polling. (RELATED: Democrats Enjoyed Luxury Resortâs Comforts While Protesting Deportation Of Alleged MS-13 Gangbanger)
âI want to be clear: being undocumented in this country is not a crime,â Frost said at a press conference Wednesday. âTo my Republican colleagues who say, âI donât want any undocumented people in this country,â I actually agree with you. So letâs document every single one of them.â
More than 11 million illegal immigrants were living in the United States as of 2022, according to the Pew Research Center. That number is likely far higher today following the unprecedented level of illegal immigration along the U.S.-Mexico border during the rest of former President Joe Bidenâs term.
House Republicansâ campaign arm, the National Republican Congressional Committee, criticized Frostâs support for mass amnesty, signaling the Florida Democratâs remarks could be a political boon to Republicans during the midterms.
âMaxwell Frost just said the quiet part out loud: Democrats donât want secure borders,â NRCC spokesperson Mike Marinella said in a statement. âThey want to fundamentally transform our country with mass amnesty for every single illegal immigrant, and this is exactly why voters donât trust a word they say.â
Less than 20% of likely voters in battleground districts across the country approve of Democratsâ handling of immigration, amounting to a 58% net-negative rating, according to a June survey from a Democrat-aligned polling firm
The Florida Democrat unveiled legislation at the press conference to place new requirements on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to publicly list information about illegal immigrants they detain. He slammed ICEâs work to carry out the presidentâs deportation agenda, calling the agencyâs efforts âterrorism in our communities.â
He proceeded to call on ICE agents to resign, claiming they are participating in work that is tantamount to âsome of the worst horrors and crimesâ that have occurred in human history.
âWe also have to talk about the [ICE] agents themselves that are carrying this out,â Frost said. âIf you have any decency, quit now. Go do something else. Because just doing what youâre told has been the justification for some of the worst horrors and crimes against humanity in the history of not just this nation but the world.â
Frost is not alone among the House Democratic Caucus in espousing a far-left message on immigration. Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezâs campaign has repeatedly called for the abolition of ICE in the past several weeks. Her colleague, Democratic Vermont Rep. Becca Balint, has criticized the Trump administrationâs deportation efforts, claiming that without migrant labor âweâre not going to have anybody around to wipe our asses.â
Some Democratic lawmakers, conversely, are shifting right on immigration following the Democratic Partyâs struggles at the ballot box last November.
Democratic Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin, who is carving out a moderate streak in the upper chamber, said in May that illegal immigrants living in the United States who have committed a crime should return home.
A spokesperson for Frost did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundationâs request for comment.
