<\/a><\/p>\nDuring the State of the Union, President Donald Trump gave an opportunity to stand with his administration regarding a stance. Trump called on lawmakers to stand up if they agreed that the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens. Republicans stood up while Democrats remained seated.<\/p>\n
From Fox News:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Trump’s speech included dinging Democrats for voting against tax cuts under the “big, beautiful bill,” for unleashing sky-high inflation woes under the Biden administration and for allegedly worsening the housing crisis.<\/p>\n At one point, Trump took direct aim at Democrats’ lax immigration policies, calling on lawmakers to stand and reaffirm their belief that the “first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”<\/p>\n “One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans a chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe,” Trump said. “So tonight, I’m inviting every legislator to join with my administration and reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”<\/p>\n Republicans were seen standing and applauding, while Democrats remained seated, leading to Trump admonishing left-wing lawmakers.<\/p>\n “Isn’t that a shame? You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up,” Trump said. “That is why I’m also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties for public officials who blocked the removal of criminal aliens.”<\/p>\n “In many cases, drug lords, murderers all over our country,” he said. “They’re blocking the removal of these people out of our country. And you should be ashamed of yourself.”<\/p>\n The speech had already sparked Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar to shout at Trump, including claiming he’s “killed Americans.”<\/p>\n Trump spoke out against the widespread fraud scandal linked to Minnesota’s Somali community, as well as how Democrats “cut off all funding for the Department of Homeland Security,” leading to Omar to shout at Trump.<\/p>\n “They have instituted another Democrat shutdown, the first one costing us two points on GDP, two points we lost on GDP, which probably made them quite happy, actually,” Trump said. “Now they have closed the agency responsible for protecting Americans from terrorists and murderers.”<\/p>\n Omar shouted, “You have killed Americans.” And was heard saying, “You are a murderer.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Additional Reading:<\/b><\/p>\n Colton, E.
