Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

We can’t adjudicate or investigate our way out of an invasion. Today, I am joined by Jaeson Jones, retired captain in the Texas Rangers and expert on Mexican cartels, to discuss why the president should designate the cartels as terror groups and what effect that would have on both our government and the Mexican government in combatting the source of the border problem.  Then, I explain why Justice Scalia believed even states had the right to repel an invasion. How much more so the federal government?

Today, I go through four important immigration principles that explain what is going on, on both the legal and political sides. 1) You can’t adjudicate yourself out of an invasion. 2) Nothing trumps sovereignty of a nation. 3) An invasion through lawfare and migration is worse than a conventional invasion. 4) Unless we believe in our own sovereignty and push back against the lawfare wholesale, no new statutes will change anything.  I explain the history of how illegals got so many rights to litigate when we used to deport hundreds of thousands within a few months without any hearings in the Eisenhower era.  The people never voted for these changes, and indeed our laws have been supplanted by lawfare. I also discuss some of the lessons of the Haitian migration crisis of the early 1990s. Finally, I explain why the Supreme Court victory on criminal alien detentions is another example of winning a single battle while losing the war on sovereignty.  Show links 1 million illegals with final deportation orders not deported Court ruling in Nielsen v.

On today’s show, we go through the history of the Mariel boatlifts from Cuba, the Nicaraguan migration in 1989, and the Haitian boat people in the early 1990s to show how past presidents, including Bill Clinton, refused to tolerate an invasion through bogus asylum. There is nothing new about what is happening with Central Americans. What is new is that we have a government unwilling to do what previous presidents did to shut it down, whether it was preventing them from landing or setting up tent cities. Finally, I round off the show with a lightning round of stories you might have missed, from ethanol and Tim Scott blocking more judicial nominees to how Fox News is now censoring conservative thought on what is supposed to be the conservative network.  Show links It’s about building the will even more than building the wall Washington Post chronicles a “conveyor belt”-style invasion into our country When the US set up tent cities and shipped out bogus asylum-seekers right away Clinton banned all Haitian asylum-seekers   What happens when we crown Fox News king of conservative thought   Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

The hypocrisy of today’s Senate vote to disapprove of Trump’s emergency power is perfidious. These same people who will not lift a finger or utter a word to fight back against judicial power grabs or Obama’s executive amnesty that caused this very border fight we are in today suddenly find religion on Article I of the Constitution. Why is not a single one of these so-called conservatives forcing a vote on sanctuary cities? The latest murder victim in California will never be known to these people because they only care about what the media tells them to.  Finally, I address the news that Trump has “flipped the Third Circuit” and why this alone will ultimately not make much of a difference in deterring the Left’s use of the courts to destroy America.       Show links Dems prepare to pack the courts when they are in charge An illegal alien allegedly brutally murders an American in a sanctuary Where’s the congressional outrage over judicial power grabs?   Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Are we really done as a sovereign nation? Is there really nothing the president can do under existing law to stop this insane invasion, which is harmful for Americans and migrants alike? Today, I am joined by Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies to discuss the commonsense tools in the president’s arsenal to deter this invasion and demagnetize our border. Vaughan explains how DHS already has an emergency plan to detain everyone in tent cities and create a “rocket docket” to adjudicate their claims within a few days. This would solve the problems of catch-and-release, the court backlog, and the exposure of Americans to infinite problems from illegal immigration. It would also disincentivize future flows. In addition, Vaughan informs us that ICE could deport all those who abscond from their court appearances, but clearly is not doing so for political reasons. Finally, we discuss the latest with sanctuary cities and how they are worse than ever before now that they are being empowered by the legal profession.      Show links Jessica Vaughan’s border plan Illegal alien with 10 detainers let out by sanctuary city and murdered woman   Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

First I explore some places where we have lost our sense as conservatives of where our policy baseline is on culture and immigration. Ilhan Omar’s views on Jews, as Democrats now admit, stem from a cultural problem. When did we believe it’s acceptable to bring in people in such large numbers from cultures that don’t share our universal values? Even Democrats of yesteryear warned against it. This also ties into what is going on at our southern border, where we have countenanced this notion that we must admit anyone who comes here, no matter the consequences to our culture, schools, public services, and public health. The emergency continues to intensify.   Next, I'm joined by Rep. Chip Roy of Texas’ 21st Congressional District. He updates us on the state of play on budget and health care after today’s Budget Committee hearing on the president’s annual budget request. We explore how Republicans refuse to go on offense and continue to accept the soft, inexorable slide into socialism. He also weighs in on his latest bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., to designate some of the Mexican cartels as terrorist groups as part of a holistic approach to the sources of our border, immigration, and drug problems.     Show links Border Patrol ceding lands to the cartels This administration is making the fence moot with lawfare The new Roy/Green Bill to designate the cartels as terrorists The good and bad of Trump’s budget Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved Learn more about your ad choices.

Whether it’s the illegal immigration numbers or the debt numbers, we are losing. Badly. We have two options: We can pressure this administration to implement the successful policies and strategies it has at its disposal to fight on those two fronts, or we can continue making excuses, or worse, deny there’s a problem altogether, as the president has done recently. Today, I go through the Trump budget proposal: the good, the bad, and the in-between.  It’s a shame we’ve reached the point when we are OK with so much debt, but there is a silver lining in this budget plan … if the administration is willing to fight for it. Also, why is Trump so quiet on the border crisis now that he’s been proven right? The only time he talks about it is to say that he is building more fencing and stopping catch-and-release, when indeed he is continuing amnesty at the border, so much so that it undermines the case for the fence.   Show links Border Patrol is bringing illegal aliens from BEHIND the fence   The courts are already abolishing ICE 180,000 illegals expected in just two months The good and the bad of Trump’s budget   DHS continues TPS amnesty for yet another country Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Today, I lay it all out on the line in what might be one of the most important episodes ever. I give you the full case for why we will never be a free and sovereign people on any issue, much less the issue of border security, unless the president begins pushing back against the lower courts.  I weave together what is going on at our border and in recent court opinions nobody is talking about to demonstrate how a border wall won't even work until and unless we end lower court supremacy. That is the source of EVERY problem with immigration. This is not about fixing laws. The courts are engaged in a revolution and don’t care about our laws.  Key quote “There comes before us, now and then, a case whose proper outcome is so clearly indicated by tradition and common sense, that its decision ought to shape the law, rather than vice versa.” Justice Scalia, Brown v.

In case you think I’m crazy about the severity of judicial tyranny, take it from Josh Hammer, who is a legal expert and worked in this broken legal profession.  Josh Hammer is editor-at-large of "The Daily Wire," as well as a counsel for worthy legal causes. He explains from his experience in law school and clerking for a federal appeals court why even conservatives are missing the boat on the rule of law and separation of powers. He explains the difference between judicial review and judicial supremacy and how that distinction is all that matters now for every important issue. What is the breaking point of this judicial tyranny, and what will it take for even conservatives involved in law and politics to wake up? I also update you and the latest border insanity, which of course ties back to the courts.

Do you want a firsthand account of the problems at the border from a man who has lived on it his entire life? Well, today I am joined by Jim Chilton, a lifelong rancher who owns a 50,000-acre ranch right on the border in central Arizona. Chilton explains why he is concerned with the strategy of Washington to only patrol from operating bases well away from the border rather than holding the line right at the border. He explains the strategic problems as well as the harm to ranches and to the country that result from allowing cartels to operate autonomously within our border up to a certain point. Overall, we are not treating this like the invasion it is and are instead reacting like crime investigators. Furthermore, he explains why border towns are so safe, and it has a lot to do with why the remote areas are not.  Many of your questions about the policies and politics of the border will be answered by Chilton on today’s epic show.
