SENATOR WARNOCK: Stop the Radical Push to Open Borders; Make Immigration Work.
Senator Warnock Knows that American’s Security is at Risk because of Record Border Crossings.
There are already an estimated over
12 million people with unresolved immigration cases in this country.
Americans want safer borders.Yet, illegal border crossings have been hitting record numbers. The Border Patrol is processing around 7,000 people every day. This is the time to improve the U.S. immigration system, not throw it away. We are the most generous country when it comes to immigration but we must ensure the safety of all Americans.
Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock admits, “We need assurances that we have security at the border and that we protect communities on this side of the border.” About reversing Title 42 he said. “I think this is the wrong time and I haven’t seen a plan that gives me comfort.”
But what is Senator Warnock going to do about it?
We Want to Fix Immigration
Most Americans recognize that immigrants come here for jobs and to improve their lives, but the majority worry that a broken immigration system could create too many demands on government services. According to a Pew study, most Americans (69%) believe there should be a way for undocumented immigrants who are now living in the U.S. to stay in the country legally if certain requirements are met. That can’t happen with Open Borders.
We have to focus on fixing the system, not throwing it away.
When immigrants come to this
country, they make an impact on all communities, especially the Hispanic
community. We believe in having a welcoming country based on legal immigration.
Let’s keep our borders safe and secure and have an open door to legal
immigration, not an open border to illegal immigration.
We believe in developing and
promoting leadership in the Hispanic community to advance free-enterprise
principals through advocacy and educational activities.
There are over 50 million Americans
of Hispanic descent and they represent a treasure of American society and
uphold the best values of hard work, faith, community and family.
We fought to protect Dreamers with a permanent solution for DACA and we support the rule of law, including humane alternatives to detention through ISAP.
Radical Progressives’ Real Goal is to Abolish ICE
Radical progressives want to do away with all immigration policies and abolish ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Many radical progressives criticize our country’s immigration system as a “mass deportation and incarceration state,” which of course, is far from the truth. Their ultimate goal is to persuade Senator Warnock and his colleagues to establish Open Borders.
There are a handful of groups
telling misleading and inaccurate stories as part of their campaign for Open Borders
including Just Futures Law, Community Justice Exchange, and Mijente.
These three organizations make claims that sre unverified and meant to provoke fear. They have become go-to soundbites for liberal reporting on immigration. They are suing the government over data collected on illegal immigrants who have been released from custody, but are monitored through SmartLINK mobile monitoring and other technology, while they await their court hearings. ICE owns the data and complies with all federal laws.
As their past statements make clear, the real goal of these groups is to
eradicate all immigration laws.
Just Futures Law – “disrupt and dismantle our deportation and mass incarceration systems” and “ends local involvement in immigration enforcement and the laws of prosecuting border entry.”
Community Justice Exchange – “We are fighting to end the deportation and detention system…ending the surveillance of immigrant communities, and supporting the right to migrate.”
Mijente – ICE funding is “dumping, dropping, flushing all this money down the toilet.”
The U.S. has common sense rules and
laws that benefit current citizens as well as future U.S. citizens. When too
many people overwhelm the system, it can break down and the most vulnerable can
fall through the cracks as we are witnessing today. ICE has a special process –
the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (ISAP) – that helps non-violent,
law-abiding immigrants seeking a home in America. If they are selected and
follow the rules, they are able to live in a community and establish themselves
while they wait for an immigration judge to rule. This is a humane alternative
to detention.
Before ISAP, only 11% complied with final orders issued by Immigration Judges
Those in ISAP have a + 95% compliance rate with release and reporting conditions
Participants work with Case Managers to receive wraparound stabilization services and are treated with dignity, fairness and respect
ISAP is more cost-effective than detention
Radicals criticize this as “government surveillance” because people are required to check-in using a special electronic device. The majority of the people in ISAP are given a communications device that looks like a smartphone, but doesn’t have the capabilities of a smartphone. It’s called SmartLINK. Only about 13% of participants – those considered the highest risk of breaking the rules – are monitored with an ankle bracelet.
SmartLINK doesn’t browse the internet or download apps
SmartLINK doesn’t send or receive texts
SmartLINK doesn’t make calls
It keeps participants in touch with their case managers through a special application.
It keeps them informed about upcoming appointments.
It helps them access court documents and community resources for housing, medical care and other essential services that add stability to their lives.
95% of those in the program show up to their court date.
Monitoring technology does not track individuals, collect background data, or conduct any surveillance.
ISAP Recently Had Broad Political Support, But Some Liberals Shifted Further to the Left
Just a couple of years ago, Democratic candidates campaigned on a platform that would “prioritize investments in more effective and cost-efficient community-based alternatives to detention.” Since it began, ISAP’s court appearance rate has been over 95%, meaning most all of those in the program are showing up for Immigration Court. That proves how such rules-based systems work.
But, progressive Democrats and Open Borders advocates are now seeking to dismantle ICE and abolish effective programs like ISAP. They talk about replacing compliance-based programs with opt-in community support. That idea will overload communities and make it tougher for service programs to help immigrants get settled, find doctors and schools for their children, and be sure they have food, clothes and housing.

In 2020, Senator Warnock spoke in front of a crowd holding signs that said “Abolish ICE” and “Imagine the Earth without Borders.” He is spending time with the wrong crowd.
