AND POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES THAT
CONTINUE TO DISMANTLE THE
SECURITY OF OUR COUNTRY.
WE CALL ON PRESIDENT BIDEN TO
TAKE THE APPROPRIATE STEPS TO
REMOVE SECRETARY MAYORKAS.
TODD: LAWMAKERS ARE MOVING TO
GRANT NONCITIZENS THE RIGHT TO
VOTE IN SOME LOCAL ELECTIONS.
THE IDEA GETTING PUSHBACK WITH
EVEN THE FAR LEFT MAYOR BILL
DEBLASIO EXPRESSING CONCERN.
>> I HAVE RESERVATIONS.
I UNDERSTAND OF FOLKS SAY I AM A
PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP BUT ALSO
HAVE FEELINGS ABOUT THE VALUE OF
CITIZENSHIP, WANTING TO
ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO BECOME
CITIZENS FULLY.
TODD: A SOUTH TEXAS REPUBLICAN
CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE WHO
BECAME A US CITIZEN WHEN SHE WAS
6 YEARS OLD, JOINS ME TO DISCUSS
HOW BAD AN IDEA IS THIS IF NOT EVEN DEBLASIO IS ON BOARD.
EVEN DEBLASIO IS ON BOARD.
>> IT IS A HORRIBLE IDEA. THIS IS I JUST BELIEVE BEING AN
THIS IS I JUST BELIEVE BEING AN
AMERICAN CITIZEN IS A PRIVILEGE,
A BLESSING THE ONLY AMERICANS
SHOULD BE ABLE TO VOTE IN THIS
COUNTRY.
IN MEXICO WHERE I’M FROM YOU
NEED A BORDER ID AND TRUST BE A
CITIZEN OF MEXICO TO VOTE.
WHY WOULD IT BE DIFFERENT HERE?
LOCAL ELECTIONS TO ME ARE MORE
IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT IMPACTS US
DIRECTLY. IT IS A HORRIBLE IDEA AND SEND
IT IS A HORRIBLE IDEA AND SEND
THE WRONG MESSAGE AND WANTS TO
ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO BECOME
AMERICAN CITIZENS.
THESE PEOPLE WILL NOT SEE THE VALUE OF IT IF WE ALLOW THEM TO
VALUE OF IT IF WE ALLOW THEM TO
VOTE.
>> AWAY FOR DEMOCRATS TO PUMP
VOTER ROLLS AND EVEN IF YOU
CAN’T VOTE IN STATE AND NATIONAL
ELECTIONS THIS IS PUTTING A TON OF DEMOCRATS AS YOU MENTIONED
OF DEMOCRATS AS YOU MENTIONED
THAT THE LOCAL POLICIES ARE
DEMOCRAT IN NATURE FROM HERE TO
ETERNITY.
>> LOCAL ELECTIONS ARE JUST AS
IMPORTANT IN SOUTH TEXAS.
I GOT INVOLVED IN MAYOR
ELECTIONS AND REALIZE THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAVING THE
WRONG MAYOR IN THE RIGHT PERSON
FOR THE JOB.
AND HOW IMPORTANT THESE LOCAL
ELECTIONS ARE AND THIS DECISION
SHOULD ONLY BE MADE BY AMERICAN
CITIZENS AND WE MUST PRESERVE
THE VALUE OF BEING AN AMERICAN
CITIZEN.
IT IS A TRUE BLESSING TO BE AN
AMERICAN CITIZEN AND ONLY
AMERICANS SHOULD BE ALSO TO VOTE
IN THIS COUNTRY FROM THE TOP TO
THE BOTTOM. TODD: YOU HEAR SO MUCH OUTRAGE
TODD: YOU HEAR SO MUCH OUTRAGE
FROM THE LEFT ABOUT VOTER
INTEGRITY LAWS, YOU BEING IN
TEXAS, YOU ARE WELL FAMILIAR
WITH THESE BUT WHERE IS THE
OUTRAGE OVER THE FACT THAT
ACTUAL CITIZENS OF THESE CITIES
MANY OF WHOM ARE BLACK AND
LATINO THEMSELVES WILL HAVE
THEIR VOTES DILUTED BY THESE
KINDS OF ACTIONS?
>> EXACTLY.
YESTERDAY, I ASKED IN SOUTH
TEXAS ABOUT THIS INCIDENT,
EVERYONE DISAGREES, THEY BELIEVE
ONLY AMERICAN CITIZENS SHOULD BE
ABLE TO VOTE EVEN AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL.
NOT ONE PERSON, 90% HISPANIC,
THE PEOPLE I SPOKE WITH
DISAGREED, ONLY AMERICAN CITIZENS SHOULD BE ABLE TO VOTE
CITIZENS SHOULD BE ABLE TO VOTE
AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
THIS IS SOMETHING --
TODD: YOU MENTIONED DOING IT THE
RIGHT WAY BUT LOOK WHERE WE ARE
IN MY SOCIETY BETWEEN THIS,
WHERE IS THE INCENTIVE FOR
PEOPLE TO DO IT THE RIGHT WAY,
THE INCENTIVE IS THE OPPOSITE
WAY.
DO IT THE WRONG WAY AND THERE
ARE NO CONSEQUENCES.
>> THERE IS NO CONSEQUENCES.
UNLIKE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY I AM
FOCUSED ON THE LEGAL PROCESS.
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS FOCUSED ON
THE ILLEGAL PROCESS.
THEY DON’T WANT TO FIX THIS
PROBLEM.
I DO.
WE DO.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS FOCUSED
ON THE LEGAL PROCESS.
WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO
COME HERE THE LEGAL WAY.
DON’T HAVE TO GO TO THIS
HORRIBLE JOURNEY PUTTING YOUR
LIFE AT RISK AND HAVING TO PAY
CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS AT THE
SOUTHERN BORDER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
WE WANT YOU TO DO IT THE RIGHT
WHERE YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO THIS.
TODD: THERE IS ONE THING I
LEARNED ON MY DINER TRIPS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY SPECIFICALLY WHEN I
SPOKE TO PEOPLE WHO DID IT THE
RIGHT WAY THEY ARE THE MOST
UPSET BY WHAT THEY SEE HAPPENING
ON THE BORDERS AND THAT IS
DURING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
IMAGINE HOW THOSE PEOPLE FEEL
DURING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
