Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin expressed concerns regarding the challenges faced when attempting to deport individuals to countries that refuse to accept them back. The Senator highlighted a specific case involving a person suspected of being involved in a crime who could not be deported due to the country's refusal to accept them.
The Senator emphasized the importance of preventing such situations by implementing stricter border control measures to prevent unauthorized entry into the country. He acknowledged the difficulties in deporting individuals already present in the country when their home countries refuse to take them back.
Furthermore, the Senator criticized sanctuary cities that provide refuge to undocumented immigrants, calling for stricter enforcement measures to apprehend and deport individuals residing in the country illegally. He also raised concerns about the financial burden placed on taxpayers by providing benefits to illegal immigrants.
The Senator highlighted the issue of automatic parole for individuals crossing the southern border, stating that a significant percentage of them are granted parole and allowed to remain in the country until their court date, which could be years later. This practice, according to the Senator, contributes to the growing population of illegal immigrants in the United States.
In conclusion, the Senator called for stronger enforcement of immigration laws, an end to sanctuary city policies, and a review of the parole process for individuals entering the country illegally. He emphasized the need to address the challenges posed by countries unwilling to accept deportees and the impact of illegal immigration on the nation's resources.
