Here's what I learned: a law that isn't enforced isn't a law. It's a suggestion.

For decades, Washington has told Americans that immigration law matters, then refused to back it up. Final orders of removal issued by immigration judges go unexecuted. People who've had full due process, and lost, stay anyway. That isn't compassion. It's a system that punishes the millions who waited in line and followed the rules.
Large-scale removal isn't radical. It's the law Congress already wrote, finally applied at the scale the problem demands:

Prioritize public safety threats and those with final orders

Give ERO the manpower, detention space, and transport to do the job

End sanctuary policies that release criminal aliens back onto the street instead of honoring detainers

Make legal immigration the only path that works
Secure borders and real enforcement protect every community, including immigrant communities, who are often the first victims of the criminals we're talking about.

I know how this works from the inside. It can be done. It just takes the will.
