Tom Cotton Blasts Nancy Pelosi’s Deportation Stance: ‘If U.S. Can’t Deport Illegals Who Have Been Ordered Deported, Who Can We Deport?’

“So, that is really kind of what happened. Trump didn’t say what he was going to do but, as the president said, ‘oh, I’ll let you know, I’ll let you know.’ He went into — ‘well, people broke the laws.’ A violation of status is not a reason for deportation. That’s just not so,” Nancy Pelosi said to a stunned audience.

Basically, she is saying that being in the U.S. illegally is not cause for deportation. Well, Tom Cotton who does not suffer these political foolish notions easily, had something to say about that.

Breitbart reported that Sen. Tom Cotton questioned who federal immigration officials are allowed to deport if not illegal immigrants who have already been ordered deported by an immigration judge.

Cotton appeared in an interview with Fox News Sunday‘s Chris Wallace, and asked if the U.S. cannot deport even illegal aliens with final deportation orders, who can be deported? Here is how the exchange went:

WALLACE: President Trump has also delayed a round-up that was supposed to begin today of migrant families that have already been given their deportation orders.

[Trump] says he’s giving Congress two weeks to work out, to reform the asylum system, otherwise, he’ll impose the round-up. I don’t have to tell you, you have a little bit of a look on your face.

The likelihood … you talk about healthy skepticism, Congress isn’t going to reform the asylum system in two weeks, sir. [Emphasis added]

COTTON: So Chris I was just going to say healthy skepticism is warranted when you’re dealing with Democrats on immigration.

Let’s just think about the Democrats’ position here Chris. These are people who have claimed asylum in our country, they’ve had their day in court, they’ve had their claims rejected and now they face a valid and final order of removal.

If we can’t deport people like that, who can we deport? That’s why the Democrats’ position ultimately comes back to, in essence, open borders. [Emphasis added]

WALLACE: So what do you think of the president’s decision to hold off on the round-up of these people who should be deported? [Emphasis added]

COTTON: Two weeks for a couple of thousand families is not going to make a big difference. And if we could get a … genuine law passed through Congress that would address the asylum reforms that we need to stop the crisis at the border, that would be a good thing.

But, again, I go back to this point: If you can’t deport an illegal alien who has a valid and final order for removal that’s adjudicated by an immigration judge, who can you deport? [Emphasis added]

There are more than 1.7 million illegal immigrants with deportation orders or pending deportation orders that are yet to be reported from the United States.

More than 600.000 of the illegal immigrants have final orders for deportation, and more than 1 million illegals from Mexico and Central America have pending deportation orders.

Tom Cotton Steps Up – Fires a Shot In Support Of President Trump’s Big Move On ‘Fixing Broken Asylum System’

Tom Cotton is an impressive man with an immpresive resume. Born to middle-class parents in Arkansas he got to the top the hard way, by working his tail off.

As Cotton was to benefit from his hard work at all the top schools in America he did the unthinkable and joined the Army. Because of his Harvard law degree, they wanted him in JAG but he said no and joined the infantry.

Tom Cotton attended Harvard University as an undergraduate, and later returned to Harvard Law School, graduating in 2002. After that, he worked for Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. In 2005, he enlisted in the U.S. Army.

On January 11, 2005, Tom Cotton enlisted in the army. He declined offers to serve in the Army J.A.G. Corps and instead volunteered for the infantry. Cotton had resolved to serve as an Army infantryman in his third year of law school while watching live news coverage of the 9/11 attacks, and had begun a regimen of physical exercise and studying military history. In March 2005, he entered Officer Candidate School, and later in June was commissioned a Second Lieutenant of Infantry.

In May 2006, Tom Cotton was deployed to Baghdad as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom as a platoon leader with the 101st Airborne Division. In Iraq, he led a 41-man air assault infantry platoon in the 506th Infantry Regiment, and planned and performed daily combat patrols. In December 2006, he was promoted to First Lieutenant. He was assigned as a platoon leader for the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment at Arlington National Cemetery in Northern Virginia.

In October 2008, Tom was deployed to Afghanistan. Cotton was assigned within the Train Advise Assist Command – East at its Gamberi forward operating base in Laghman Province as the Operations Officer of a Provincial Reconstruction Team, where he planned daily counter-insurgency and reconstruction operations. His deployment ended on July 20, 2009 so he returned from Afghanistan. He then returned to farming at his family ranch.

In July 2010, Tom Cotton transferred to the Army Reserve. His military record shows his final discharge from the Army Reserve was in May 2013. Cotton was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and earned a Ranger Tab, Combat Infantryman Badge, Parachutist Badge, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Air Assault Badge, and Iraq Campaign Medal.

As you can see, Tom Cotton is not your average weak, know nothing politician. He is an America hero, smarter than your average liberal.

That is exactly why leftists hate him that much. He went to all the top schools that they believe should only breed left-leaning individuals, but Tom went into the lion’s den and came out the winner.

Cotton can throw their arrogance right back at them when they question Trump’s and America’s decisions. We are by far the most generous nation in the history of the world and questioning that is a great disrespect.

The Free Beacon reported that Sen. Tom Cotton applauded President Trump’s proclamation concerning asylum for immigrants who illegally cross the Mexican border into America.

“I applaud the administration’s efforts to fix our broken asylum system. Individuals with valid asylum claims should apply in their home countries or a safe third country, not by showing up at our border. We will not let anyone take advantage of America’s generosity by exploiting loopholes in our immigration system. Congress should also act to codify these common-sense reforms,” Sen. Cotton said in a statement.

Tom Cotton Blats SPLC – Calls Them A Hate Group & Suggests They Lose Tax-Exempt Status

On Tuesday, Republican Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton made an interview with Tucker Carlson and laid out his plan to end the tax-exempt status of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

CNN reported that the non-profit recently had to replace its CEO for “inappropriate conduct.” In addition to recent workplace difficulties, the Center also parks a great portion of it’s funds and endowment in overseas markets, a fact that Cotton asserted was the reason it earned an “F” rating from Charity Watch.

“I don’t know many charities that send their endowment overseas. Charity Watch gives them an F rating. They have become a hate group themselves and use that to stigmatize opponents. There are plenty of groups on the left I don’t agree with, but I don’t stigmatize them as a hate group and peddle that to CNN and the New York Times,” Cotton began.

After calling on Congress to investigate them, Cotton calmly exclaimed, “Talk about misusing funds! The founder was paid $400,000 a year. They do nothing other than sexually harass young women working in the Southern Poverty Law Center.”

The Arkansas Senator sent a letter to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requesting that auditors re-asses the group’s tax-exempt status because of their multiple alleged transgressions.

“The letter I sent today is just the first step I am taking to get the IRS focused on this serious problem. A so-called charity that has racism and sexual discrimination problems. It’s using that money to target political opponents. That’s not what American taxpayers are subsidizing with tax-exempt status. Not to sexually harass every woman in your office and discriminate against migrants,” Cotton continued.

Senator Cotton’s letter to the IRS compels the government not to support a group that, in his opinion, attacks political opponents with such ease.

“I am writing to urge you to investigate whether the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) should retain its classification as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization,” wrote Cotton to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig. “Recent news reports have confirmed the long-established fact that the SPLC regularly engages in defamation of its political opponents. In fact, the SPLC’s defining characteristic is to fundraise off of defamation.”

“This business model has paid well. The SPLC has accrued more than $500 million in assets,” Cotton asserted.

“According to the group’s most recent financial statement, it holds $121 million offshore in non-U.S. equity funds. The SPLC uses these assets to pay its executives lavish salaries, far higher than the comparable household average.” he concluded.
