Kaylee McGhee White: “They understand very clearly the message that if they come here illegally ... they are going to be found, they are going to be arrested, and they are going to be sent back in chains."

EMILY COMPAGNO (CO-HOST): Isn't that fascinating, Kaylee, how great an impact can have of just having competent people in these positions like Secretary Noem and Tom Homan, that are just committed to enforcing our laws and executing the will of the people through the executive president.
KAYLEE MCGHEE WHITE (WRITER, WASHINGTON EXAMINER): Well, and I think it's important too to note that part of the reason why Kristi Noem is having to deputize so many State Department agents is because they can't get sanctuary cities and states to use local law enforcement to assist in federal immigration efforts. So now they're having to tap into other resources. And part of the messaging element here that's so important for people to understand, I understand how it can be a bit jarring. You know, I think about my friends and family back in the Midwest who are maybe seeing some of these social media videos of the deportations.
And sure, okay, I get that it's a bit jarring. But what you have to understand is that whereas most law-abiding Americans aren't worrying about how to evade law enforcement because because they respect this country and the laws that are there to keep us all safe, what Trump and Kristi Noem understand is that a lot of the illegal immigrants that the Biden administration spent the past four years importing don't. They understand force. They understand threat, and they understand very clearly the message that if they come here illegally, and especially if they come here illegally and continue to commit crime, they are going to be found, they are going to be arrested, and they are going to be sent back in chains. So that is something that is very important that needs to be communicated to these countries.
