Following reports that US immigration officials had launched countrywide raids and arrested hundreds of illegal aliens across the nation as a result of Donald Trump’s recent immigration executive order, this morning the President weighed in on Twitter, stating that “the crackdown on illegal criminals is merely the keeping of my campaign promise. Gang members, drug dealers & others are being removed!”

As the WSJ notes, “almost everybody living in the U.S. illegally is now subject to deportation, and more undocumented arrivals at the southern border would be jailed or sent back to Mexico to await a hearing rather than released into the U.S.” according to the new guidance.
Many political commentators made comments on this new stance in relation to Mexico, and British politician and Trump supporter Nigel Farage was one of them.
In a recent interview on Fox News, Nigel Farage said “The Illegals Should get out”. He then followed this up by saying that “Mexicans Haven’t a Right to Complain”
This is exactly what we need to move forward as a safe and prosperous nation. Who’s with me?
