Blaze News investigates: Reversing the illegal immigration crisis and fortifying national security | Blaze Media

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : ""It's important that states try to take action on illegal immigration not only to push back on what is happening at the federal level and the Biden administration's deliberate border crisis that they've instigated, but also because even if we do get to a point with a new administration that wants to enforce immigration laws and regain control of the border, the federal government can't fix this problem on their own," she continued.
49% : In order to execute the massive pro-illegal-immigration shift facilitated by the Biden-Harris administration, the federal government has pumped billions into non-governmental organizations tasked with providing shelter, accommodations, and humanitarian services to unlawful aliens.
47% : Meanwhile, the Biden-Harris administration has attempted to allocate up to $1.4 trillion for wiping out student loan debt for borrowers.
45% : Meanwhile, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection resources remain too strained to keep up with the increase of foreign nationals requesting asylum at ports of entry and entering the country.
43% : While ICE, which is tasked with tracking illegal immigrants released into the U.S., already has the tools it needs to remove individuals unlawfully in the country, its hands have been largely tied by the current administration and sanctuary policies, which were created as part of the "abolish ICE" movement, in liberal cities across the nation.
39% : Hankinson told Blaze News that an efficient first step for ICE would be to remove the over a million illegal aliens currently in the country who already have final order removals.
38% : "It is significantly more cost-effective for ICE to place a detainer request and execute a transfer while the illegal alien is still in local custody.
37% : Hankinson told Blaze News, "Congress would have to give significant investment and support for ICE, which has been sidelined and demoralized under Biden.
35% : Without these regulations overturned, ICE is -- and will continue to be -- forced to "expend additional resources and search within neighborhoods to reapprehend these criminals at increased risk to the public and our officers.
33% : 'Congress would have to give significant investment and support for ICE, which has been sidelined and demoralized under Biden.'Jon Feere, director of investigations with the Center for Immigration Studies, told Blaze News, "Any illegal alien released into the United States with a court date is, in theory, being tracked by ICE and can be called into an ICE office whenever the agency wants to talk.
29% : While it will undoubtedly be an expensive undertaking to provide ICE, CBP, and local governments with the resources needed to begin to reverse course, these efforts could be funded by redirecting dollars away from the NGOs, many of which seem to be making the problem worse.
