Ep 500 | Immigration Chief Cuccinelli Promises to Continue Driving Down Illegal Immigration
from Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz · host Blaze Podcast Network
In honor of our 500th episode, I am joined by Acting USCIS Director Ken Cuccinelli to discuss the state of the border and immigration police. He explains what has worked at the border and why the numbers are going down, but warns that more must be done and promises to continue driving down the number of illegal aliens. Cuccinelli also sets the record straight that the job of immigration agencies under the U.S. government, including Citizenship and Immigration Services, is to protect the interests of Americans, not to serve as benefactors to the world. “Let’s be very clear, we are a vetting agency, not a benefits agency,” Cuccinelli said. “We are here for the benefit of the American people, period.” He explains how his agency is the first line of defense against those who would come here to do us harm.
