Rand Paul Slams Donald Trump's Migrant Deportation Plan: "Terrible Image".

[0311]

K
entucky Senator Rand Paul has said it would be a "terrible image" to use the United States Army to round up illegal immigrants as part of plans for mass deportations.

The nominated next Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee told Newsmax that he supported bringing back President-elect Donald Trump's Remain in Mexico policy but had reservations about other aspects of immigration plans.

Paul said that immigrants who had committed crime should be the first targets for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), claiming around 15,000 migrants in the U.S. had committed murder.

"I think if we start there, we will be fine," he said Tuesday. "I'm not in favor of sending the army in uniforms into our cities to collect people. I think it's a terrible image."

This is the one time I agree with Rand Paul.

I usually "Stand with Rand" but not this time.....All tools should be used to rid ourselves of the illegals.

The illegal aliens have got to go no matter what it takes.

Same here.

Hey Rand...People are getting MURDERED! We don't give a shit about "image".

Secondly...the army will be holding the illegals. They wont be the ones rounding them up.

No human is illegal.

Undocumented individual commit less because of the fact they are undocumented. Do you understand that?

You are.

"Terrible image? What does that mean? The American public already made the big decision to end the illegal immigration by electing Trump.

It's just not true.

No...I can't say that I do

No human is illegal. Acts are illegal. Those who commit illegal acts are criminals. They are criminal aliens.

I don't want to speak for Rand, because I don't know what his thoughts are on this exactly… But I'm guessing that it's not that he's opposed to the deportation. I think what he's opposed to is using the army to do it.

I don't care how it looks. We have tons of Mexican gang members operating at will. That takes all hands and all the firepower you can muster.

His criticism has a bad look. Nobody is proposing that jack-booted Army thugs go door to door and arrest illegals. Trump has stated that he sees nothing wrong with using military assets in appropriate ways to facilitate his deportation plan. Picture barracks being set up in Texas to temporarily house arrested illegals while their cases play out in immigration court (or whatever). Soldiers could be called on to staff such a facility, whose existence would be temporary.

Just like DOGE. Temporary.

It's a good point and using the Military in an effort like this might be considered a terrible image but Rand's words might be part of a throwaway comment picked up by the desperate lying anti-Trump media for a political issue.

No...I can't say that I do

They are a live, they are human, they are legal.

What I understand is that you are a damn leftist fool. I am supposed to think an illegal invader is a good buy because he decides not to murder or rape because it would get him deported, and not for the right reason because it is WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So he's more worried about how it will look as opposed to the legality or constitutionality of doing this?
