1/29/26 - Immigration Under Fire: The Truth Behind the Numbers

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is doing an outstanding job. DHS is a massive department that handles some of the most difficult matters.  No one has done a better job on immigration than Noem, which is why the Democrats are calling for her head. Now, why are Democrats fighting so hard for every illegal alien to stay? To preserve their electoral viability, as resident migration from high-tax blue states to lower-tax red/purple states continue unabated. You’re also hearing more and more Republican officials (RINO’s) talking about deporting only violent criminal illegal aliens and some are even talking about granting a "pathway to citizenship" for non-violent illegal aliens. Federal law requires deportation for those who enter illegally or overstay visas. Later, pinprick measures against the Iranian regime are insufficient - the regime itself must be removed entirely, as failing to do so will burden future generations. 61% of MAGA supporters favor hitting Iran hard. Significant, decisive action—not endless negotiations—is necessary and morally right to save lives quickly. Afterward, Rep Chip Roy calls in and strongly opposes any Republican proposals to limit immigration enforcement to only illegal immigrants who commit additional crimes, arguing it would undermine the entire system, reward lawbreaking, and encourage more illegal entries. Enforcement must target both dangerous criminal aliens and non-criminal illegal entrants to secure the nation, as threats can spread quickly across states. Finally, Kevin McCarthy calls in and criticizes Democrats for threatening a government shutdown over ICE enforcement policies, calling it a sign of weak leadership driven by fear of political backlash rather than principled guidance. Democrats are holding the country hostage despite prior bipartisan funding agreements, motivated by emotional indecision and unpopularity, including references to a disliked leader afraid of voters and past book tour concerns.
