I would “oppose every attempt to grant amnesty” to immigrants who arrived here illegally.

"Among my very first actions upon taking office will be to stop the invasion of our country."

An RFK Jr. administration would "seal the border to illegal immigration... while expanding lawful, orderly immigration."

The US immigration system needs "comprehensive reform that includes strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship."

"Immigrants strengthen our communities. It’s time for... a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers."

The immigration system must be "radically simplif[ied] so people can come here, work, and become members of our communities without being relegated to the shadows."

"The Cornel West for President campaign for immigration justice is a call to action—a call to embrace our common humanity to extend our hands in solidarity with those who seek to share in our nation's promise."

A Jill Stein campaign will.... "[g]rant amnesty to every undocumented person in the United States, and implement a path to citizenship with expediency."

A federal judge in Oregon blocked the Trump administration twice from deploying National Guard troops to Portland, with Judge Karin Immergut ruling the deployments appeared to exceed presidential authority.

The administration cited protests at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Broadview, Illinois as justification for the deployment, claiming violent incidents were impeding federal law execution.

The administration cited protests at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Broadview, Illinois as justification for the deployment, claiming violent incidents were impeding federal law execution.

Illinois officials argued the deployment violates the Posse Comitatus Act, noting it is unlawful for National Guard units to conduct searches, seizures, or arrests or to be deployed without consent of local leadership, and that federal agents have escalated tensions through aggressive tactics.

Trump's deployment of Texas National Guard into Illinois without state coordination represents a dangerous invasion of state sovereignty. This breathtaking abuse of presidential power threatens to impose martial law on America. Military troops should never be sent into states without consent or cooperation.

Chicago's violence crisis demands immediate federal intervention after 54 people were shot in one weekend alone. Democrat governors like Pritzker refuse to protect federal officials, forcing Texas National Guard to step in and do their job. The elite Texas Guard will stop violent ANTIFA thugs and restore safety.

United States of America

Trump’s latest move is an invasion and a direct assault on state sovereignty — and that’s why Illinois and Chicago are suing to block it. Without warning or coordination, he is deploying Texas National Guard troops into Illinois and other states and even federalizing state Guard units against their wishes. This is a stunning abuse of power that turns the military into political pawns. America is now on the brink of martial law, and every American must speak out to stop this dangerous overreach before it’s too late.

Democrat leaders like Pritzker are suing to block lifesaving action even as Chicago remains one of the most dangerous cities in the world. When governors refuse to protect federal officials or restore order, President Trump and Republicans will step up to do their jobs for them. Deploying the Texas National Guard will stop violent ANTIFA rioters and help end the lawlessness Democrats ignore. Chicago desperately needs help — and with strong federal action, it will finally be safe again.
