• To me, it’s pretty simple. Americans overwhelmingly support legal immigration.
• That’s why our country invites over a million of our world’s neighbors every year to become American citizens.
• That’s more than any other country on the planet,” the senator said.
• Illegal immigration is illegal.

. . . By signing the latest round of executive orders on immigration, President Joe Biden’s “has decided to adhere to the edicts” of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), “who worships at the altar of open borders, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) told “Fox News Primetime” on Tuesday.

“I don’t understand why the issue is perceived to be so complicated. To me, it’s pretty simple. Americans overwhelmingly support legal immigration. That’s why our country invites over a million of our world’s neighbors every year to become American citizens. That’s more than any other country on the planet,” the senator said. . .

I looked at President Biden’s executive orders. I support his efforts to try to reunite kids with their parents. I mean, who wouldn’t? But the rest of his executive orders don’t seem to make a distinction between legal and illegal immigration,” Kennedy said.

“His executive orders are designed to roll back the efforts of the Trump administration, which did more in four years to stop illegal — not legal — but illegal immigration, than any other president in my lifetime, and I think — I hate to say this, but I think President Biden has decided to adhere to the edicts of Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, who worships at the altar of open borders, and I think it’s a big mistake, and I don’t think the American people will support it,” he said.

On the issue of Biden’s executive orders on oil and gas, the senator called them “immeasurably foolish.” . . .

“Here’s President Biden’s new energy policy. We are not going to reduce our own oil. Instead, we’re going to buy oil from countries that hate us so they will have more money to buy weapons to try to kill us. It’s immeasurably foolish. Most Americans support and all of the above energy policy – oil, gas, wind, solar, nuclear, geothermal, hydrogen, but they also understand that we can’t run the greatest economy in all of human history without oil and gas – Not now, and not probably for a long time,” he said.

“I don’t know about you, Trey, but my car does not run off fairy dust. My car doesn’t run off unicorn urine, and I think once again, president Biden has given into the left-wing crazies, who say none of us except them care about the planet — that’s not true – and who, when they break a shoelace, they blame it on climate change. You know, they’ve taken a specific, discrete, scientific problem. Is our climate changing? How’s it changing? What’ll we do we do about it? And they turned it into a religion, and President Biden appears to be sucking it up like a Hoover Deluxe,” the senator said. . . .

Kennedy said that Kerry is “living in La La Land.”

“I mean, you’re going to tell a 50-year-old woman who’s been working for oil and gas company, who’s developed extraordinary expertise, who has kids in school, who has a mortgage to play, just to quit your job, because we are going to fire you, anyway, and go back to school, and then you can go work in a green job, but we haven’t told you which one yet. I mean, you know, put down the ball. That’s just not realistic,” the senator said. . . .

“Number one, due process matters in America. Speaker Pelosi gave President Trump a fair and impartial firing squad. She wouldn’t allow him to defend himself. He got no due process, and let me say it again, due process matters in America. These proceedings are defective in their inception,” he said.

“Number two, we’re asking to impeach a president who’s no longer president. The constitutionality of that is dubious at best. So we are being asked to go through — put the American people through this, and then later, we will find out if it is constitutional,” the senator added.
