| Freshman GOP lawmaker rallies behind Trump's rapid illegal immigration crackdown: 'No time to waste' | |

| "It's kind of funny because many of the Democrats actually voted against the Laken Riley Act when it was in Congress last session, but now they're supporting it because they see electorally that it's beneficial to them." [FoxNews] Hamadeh, 33, represents Arizona's 8th Congressional District GOP Rep. Abe Hamadeh is praising President Trump’s swift actions on illegal immigration in the first days of his presidency and told Fox News Digital that the president has "learned a lot from 2017" and that he expects more of the same in the future. "President Trump campaigned on this and he's delivering it for the American people," the freshman congressman told Fox News Digital in an interview. "If you look at the polling, even Democrats are in favor of deportations of illegal immigrants. So right now, he's deporting the most dangerous illegal immigrants and you're starting to see the raids and it’s quite a sight to see because for too long, the Biden administration, they prioritized illegal immigrants over American citizens." "They treated American citizens as second-class citizens and President Trump is about America first. So these deportation raids, it's happened so fast and that's exactly his style of leadership. He knows he has no time to waste and delivering the results for the American people as they already voted for these policies back on November 5th. So far, so good." Hamadeh told Fox News Digital that Trump "learned a lot from 2017" and this time around knows "exactly what to do" to get his agenda accomplished. Republicans recently successfully pushed the Laken Riley Act through Congress, with 48 Democrat votes, which Hamadeh told Fox News Digital should have been a unanimous vote and doesn’t necessarily mean Democrats are embracing Trump’s agenda. "It's kind of funny because many of the Democrats actually voted against the Laken Riley Act when it was in Congress last session, but now they're supporting it because they see electorally that it's beneficial to them." "So no we always have to be cognizant of that. A lot of these Democrats don't have any principles that they're standing on. They just saw that they got shellacked in the end in the election, November 5th. So they're trying to moderate themselves or appear to be moderate. But honestly it should have gotten unanimous support."
