Buck Sexton sounds the alarm on a Republican backed immigration proposal that he says amounts to full blown amnesty. Buck takes aim at GOP lawmakers including Rep. Maria Salazar who are now embracing what he calls word games like calling it “dignity” instead of what it is a betrayal of the rule of law. Buck breaks down how the proposal would reward illegal immigration, weaken US sovereignty, and ignore the clear mandate from voters demanding mass deportations and a secure border.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, let make
sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app
or wherever you get your podcasts. Absolutely no illegals left
in this country. That is what President Trump has promised,
that is what the law states. And yet there are
(00:31):
not just Democrats, Republicans, Republicans who are making the case
now for amnesty. This is a total betrayal of the
rule of law, of American sovereignty, and of the will
of the American people, as evidence by the most recent election,
where there was overwhelming support for dramatic deportations of millions
(00:56):
of illegal aliens from this country. This is not an
issue on which there are two sides. You either or Rather,
there are only two sides. You either want the rule
of law or you want there to be an amnesty.
That's it. And yet what we have here is the
continuation of the word games. Here's a perfect example. It's
(01:19):
not amnesty, it is dignity. This Republican from my home
city now of Miami, Republican Congress Froman Salazar, here's what she.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Says, President Trump, Sir, the same God who saved you
from death in Pennsylvania one year ago, and who put
you back in the Oval office against all lotts. Is
the same God Almighty who millions and millions are begging
to for some type of dignity, not amnesty, Sir, I
(01:52):
believe that you could be for immigration what Lincoln was
for slavery and Reagan was for communism. You are a
businessman who understands our economy needs a reliable working force
in areas where other Americans don't participate.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Okay, a few things about this one. She's completely just
pretending that we don't know how this goes, which is
that there will be amnesty. If you can stay in
the country, that's amnesty. If you're not supposed to be
here and you get to stay, that's an amnesty. They
know that politically, the American people do not want that
(02:28):
majority of Latinos, majority of blacks, majority of whites go
down a list. They don't want people who are here
illegally to stay. And you're gonna hear more and more
of this. Oh, they're doing the jobs Americans won't do.
That's just an absurd talking for it. That's a lie.
All of the fields that you can point to, for example,
construction and people who are in hotel hospitality sector. They say, oh, well,
(02:53):
we need illegals to do these jobs. Eighty percent of
the people who do the job are not illegal, so
why do we need illegals? Most vast majority of the
people who are already doing the job are not illegals.
All legals do is bring down the wages of the
other eighty percent who are actually doing the jobs, or
even if it's only sixty percent who do the jobs,
(03:13):
whatever the number is. That's what we voted against. No
more of this, because it's not just about the here
and now, with the wages and the access to emergency
rooms and the votes. I don't want people from other
countries who are sovereign to some other entity voting here
in this country after they've broken the law to be here.
(03:36):
I think that this breaks the assimilation process. This breaks
the covenant that the American people have with their laws
that allow people to come here legally. But here you go.
This is the kind of propaganda that now Republicans are
even willing to speak.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Mister President, the eye of history is upon us. Some
of the most shameful moments in our passes the country
relates to how we have treated immigrants who are not criminals,
and we are in one of those moments. If we
get this wrong, generations will pay the price in shame.
(04:13):
But if we get a right, the United States will
continue to lead a liberty and you will have been
the commander in chief. It's in your hands, mister president,
made the Lord guide you.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Okay. As if this isn't clear enough with the oh,
it's it's dignity, What does that mean? That's a not
that's like saying it's hope. Might as well say she
wants hope and change. This is nonsense dignity for people.
They're welcome to have whatever dignity they seek legally in
some other country that they came here from. And I
(04:48):
know that in Miami this is a particular issue because
you have a lot of people here who don't speak
English at all, and they live here and they want
to live here forever, and they speak no English. I
don't I don't mean they speak English with an accent
or no no, I mean no English whatsoever. And here
she is to hammer this point home, this member of
Congress speaking in Spanish about the amnesty that she wants.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
And your Presidentel me morios, Pennsylvani Alamo, the well time
Officino while in contra hel met Morio.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Leandro Gando.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I'm sorry, but no, not acceptable, not acceptable. If you're
gonna come to this country and you want to stay here.
I'm not talking about people who are visiting. Obviously, we
love tourists. Come spend your money here, hang out here,
have a great time. If you want to come here
and you want to stay, you should. You should learn English.
We should not have any ballots printed in English that
(05:49):
I've been printed in languages that are not English. I
I view this is very straightforward. We should not have
any government signs, insignia, nothing in any language other than
English or you know, e plurbus uno. I can. I
can handle a little Latin for ceremonial purposes, but that's it.
Everything should be in English language, whole us together as
(06:11):
a people. There is no place for this to be
a polyglot nation with fifteen different languages on the ballots.
Say in New York City, which is what I saw
when I was I couldn't even tell what the writing was.
I mean, they got tie ballots, they got you know,
like I don't know, I can read Arabic a little bit,
(06:34):
but they had, you know, they had Sanskrit probably on
their you know, crazy things. I have no idea how
to read or know what they are. If you can't
speak English, you don't know enough about what's going on
in America for your political opinion to be valid. This
is just the truth. You don't know enough about what
is going on if you don't speak English to have
(06:55):
an informed voice in American politics at any level. Everybody
should be able to speak English. Obviously, people speaking more languages,
that's fine, that's nice, you know, multi lingual, fine, whatever,
But if you cannot speak English, there's a problem. And
there should also be an understanding that there is an
American culture, an American way of doing things, that anybody
(07:19):
who comes here should seek to adopt. This is part
of assimilation. It's not I'm going to keep doing things
the way that I did them in the home country.
But I want to be here because here is so
much better than the home country.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You know, you'll notice this people, so many of them
come here and they never have to address, well, why
is the home country that you came here from such
a corrupt mess. It's particularly true of a lot of
Latin American countries where corruption is just it's just the
way that everything everything is. It's just madness. And I'm sorry,
(07:51):
but this is really straightforward. You're a United States Member
of Congress, salas are, and you're advocating for people who
are here in violation of the federal laws that you're
supposed to have a hand in writing and upholding. And
you've due to the Constitution of the American people, not
to illegals who are clearly a constituent or constituency of
this Member of Congress in Miami, and she thinks of
(08:12):
them as such. She thinks that she represents illegals as
part of her job, and that should not be the
approach of any member of the United States Congress, especially
a Republican. So I have no tolerance for this at all,
and I think that any talk of an amnesty, I mean,
first of this is going nowhere. But it's a reminder
(08:34):
that even our own side, even the Republican Party, can
have people in it who are willing to sell out
on this core issue. Our sponsor's paradigm press. You know,
there's something under American soil that has value in the
trillions of dollars. It's not new. This endowment, so to speak,
could pay off our national debt four times over thanks
to a Supreme Court decision that Trump administration could soon
release this endowment to the public. Jim Rickards, former advisor
(08:57):
of the White House and Federal Reserve, says, if you're
over fifty, this could be your best chance to build
lasting well from a once in a century event. You
hear more of what Jim has to say, go to
birthright twenty twenty five dot com. He's right. It could
make President Trump the most popular present in history and
help millions of investors with their retirement accounts. Go to
birthright twenty twenty five dot com to get the details
free of charge, paid for by Paradigm Press. Now we
(09:22):
have just to bring this all home Stephen Miller explaining
why it's not just about the rule of law. But
though that's critical, there's also the benefits that sending illegals
home will bring two people in this country to Americans
of all ethnic backgrounds. But for Americans who are here legally.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
The difference is in this administration, they're getting a ticket
out of America so that we can take care of
our own people. Do you have any idea how many
resources will be opened up for Americans When the illegals
are gone, no more waiting in line at an emergency room,
no more massive traffic in Los Angeles, Your health insurance
premiums go down. Your public school classroom size will shrink dramatically.
(10:07):
They have more time to educate every student, have to
compete for public benefits. If you're hard, if you're down
on your luck, you're having a hard time, and you
do need to get support from the government. You're not
going to be in line behind millions off illegal aliens
from the Third World. This is going to be such
a gift to the quality of life of everyday Americans. Jesse.
It's hard to even express.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yes, it would be nice, wouldn't it if we didn't
have to account for twenty or twenty five million illegals
in the housing market, in the emergency rooms, in the
school system. They're all supposed to eventually get Medicare you
know this right that they're We're going to be told,
oh my gosh, we have no choice. They're just going
(10:47):
to be clogging the emergency rooms as seniors if we
don't get them all medicare so people who have come
here in the last ten years, last twenty years, they're
expecting that they will all tap into the welfare state
more so than they already have. And you're always being
lied to about this. You're always being told, oh, they
pay in and they don't take out. That's a lie.
And the whole game is you get here and you
have a kid here as fast as you can, so
(11:09):
that becomes the anchor baby. And then that anchor baby
is the basis for officially getting federal funds and getting welfare.
And then that anchor baby also becomes the basis for
chain migration to bring the rest of the family from
back home, all skipping the line, all going ahead of
people who are even trying to come here through the
legal immigration process. It's a mess, and we have allowed
(11:31):
this lawlessness for far too long. The deportations need to
get to they need to be over a million a year,
and that needs to be going on for all the
Trump administration and beyond everybody who came here. Just to
think about this, everybody who came here illegally during the
Biden administration. That's over ten million. Think of how long
(11:52):
it'll take just to deal with that. That's just in
four years. And people are talking about how all but
we need this person can't be sent home or that
person can't be sent home. No, first we're do them
with the criminals. Fine, and then it should be people
who have arrived he under Biden. Fine, and then it
should be other people who are here illegally, and we
work through this, and yeah, do we want to have
a conversation at some point if someone's been here for
(12:13):
twenty years and you know, and they have never broken
the law, and they're you know, at that But I'm
talking about after you've deported ten or fifteen million people,
then we can have that conversation. As a country, we
can decide, the American people can decide without this this
burden and this additional political constituency of illegals all over
(12:34):
the country in such huge numbers that people like this
congresswoman pander to them, pander to non Americans. So yeah,
at that point, I want to say, let's see where
we are if the border's still secure, but I need it.
I'm talking about come on now, ten fifteen million. If
we get there, we'll be lucky. We'll be lucky to
(12:55):
get to half that number. Even Trump will be lucky
to get to half that number. And the Democrats might
just kick the border wide open again. So you know,
this is a matter of absolute urgency right now, and
I just think it's important that we have no confusion
on it whatsoever. Thanks for hanging on the show. She'll
