Release Date: June 17, 2024
Podcast: The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson
Hosts: Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson
Tragic Incident Highlighting Immigration Policy Failures
The episode opens with a disturbing account of violence attributed to illegal immigration policies under President Biden. Senator Ted Cruz (00:01) introduces the grim news:
"Tragically, we've had yet another woman murdered by yet another illegal immigrant released by Joe Biden... Americans are dying week after week after week." (00:17)
Ben Ferguson further details the case of Rachel Marin, a 37-year-old mother of five from Maryland, who was brutally raped and murdered by Victor Martinez Hernandez, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador (03:49). The discussion emphasizes the recurring pattern of violent crimes committed by individuals released into the country, highlighting a perceived failure of Biden's immigration policies to protect American citizens.
Biden Administration’s Amnesty and Its Implications
The conversation shifts to the Biden administration's recent announcement aimed at providing amnesty to over a million illegal immigrants (00:17). Cruz criticizes the executive orders proposed by Biden, arguing they undermine border security and prioritize political gain over national safety:
"It's all about votes. This is all about power for Democrats." (01:36)
The hosts discuss the administration's strategy to offer legal status and deportation protections to unauthorized immigrants married to U.S. citizens, potentially leading to permanent residency and citizenship. This move is portrayed as an attempt to secure future Democratic voters by granting benefits to immigrants, thereby increasing Democratic power through electoral influence.
Voter Registration Controversy and the SAVE Act
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the issue of voter registration among non-citizens. Cruz and Ferguson express strong concerns that welfare offices and other government agencies in 49 states are distributing voter registration forms to migrants without verifying citizenship (22:08). They argue this practice is designed to increase Democratic voter bases:
"It's all about power... They want illegal immigrants to vote for Democrats." (17:15)
The discussion references the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, commonly known as the Motor Voter Law, which mandated voter registration at agencies like the DMV and welfare offices without requiring proof of citizenship. This legislation is criticized as a deliberate tactic to include non-citizens in the voter registration process.
In response to these concerns, the House Administration Committee has passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act), which mandates proof of citizenship for all voter registrations (28:08). Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is quoted:
"It is incumbent upon Congress to implement greater enforcement measures that secure the voter registration process and ensure only American citizens decide the outcome of American elections." (28:08)
However, Democrats and organizations like the Campaign Legal Center oppose the SAVE Act, arguing it could suppress eligible voters and unfairly target non-citizens.
Historical Context and Future Implications
The hosts draw parallels to past immigration policies, notably President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), highlighting how executive actions have previously led to increased illegal immigration and associated social issues. They assert that current policies continue this trend, leading to more illegal entries and potential voter manipulation.
Cruz emphasizes the long-term consequences of these policies on American democracy and security, warning that unchecked illegal immigration and voter registration without citizenship verification could undermine the integrity of future elections.
"They've made a very cynical decision that staying in power is worth it. If innocent people have to die, that's a price they're willing to pay." (31:10)
Conclusion
The episode concludes with a strong condemnation of the Biden administration and Democratic Party's immigration and voting policies, framing them as deliberate strategies to consolidate political power at the expense of American citizens' safety and the integrity of the electoral system. Cruz and Ferguson call for immediate action to secure borders, enforce voter eligibility laws, and prioritize the protection of American lives over political ambitions.
