I just wish the administration would talk about thisthis greatest threat to our Nation. We are doing somethingthough this is totally unrelated. but it is something that happened in my State of Oklahoma earlier this week. Earlier this week. the county commissioners in my city of Tulsa and in my State of Oklahoma voted to renew a memorandum of understanding with ICEthat is Immigration and Customs Enforcementto detain their inmates and train local deputies to refer threats of violent criminals to the Federal authorities. Entering into a memorandum of understandingan MOUhad been a routine procedure until last week. when it was derailed by illegal immigrant activiststhe same type of activists we see across the country pushing sanctuary policies. policies to give sanctuary to terrorists and policies to protect criminal aliens. allowing them to continue committing crimes against our citizens such as the one we saw with the murder of Kate Steinle in San Francisco almost a year ago. Law enforcement across the country takes part in this program so they can do their job of keeping criminals off the streets. However. their efforts are continually frustrated by liberal activists seeking to shield those same criminals from the consequences of their actions. We should stand with our friends in law enforcement. in their communities. who are working every day to ensure our safety and the safety of others. Whether criminal immigrants are here illegally or legally. it should not be controversial to deny them the privilege of staying in our country. and we should remove them from our communities until they are removed from our country. When we refuse to do it. we reward their behavior and give them an opportunity to continue to commit violent crimes. Why is this such a big deal?
