On Wednesday, Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., suggested granting citizenship to every illegal alien in the country. According to Frost, if Republicans don’t want illegal aliens in America, the fix is simple — just make them legal. But his comments are revealing and expose the endgame of the modern Democrat Party: use the border crisis that they created to cement their permanent political power.
And that’s exactly why President Donald Trump must follow through on mass deportations –with no exceptions — because given the chance, Democrats will choose voter registration over deportation.
Frost falsely stated that “being undocumented in this country is not a crime” before delivering his pitch:
“We are an immigrant-filled community. We are a community filled with people. And yes, people are going to have different statuses, and to my Republican colleagues that say, ‘I don’t want any undocumented people in this country,’ I actually agree with you. So, let’s document every single one of them with a speedy path to citizenship. That’s how we fix this problem.”
But, as The Blaze’s Logan Hall said in a post on X, “This is why there can be no exceptions and no compromise on this stuff.”
And yet, President Donald Trump has recently suggested an amnesty-like program for illegal aliens who work in the agriculture and hospitality industries.
“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. “In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs. This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!”
But this isn’t just about “criminals.” And it’s not just about labor. It’s about national and political survival. Should Democrats take back power in 2026 or 2028, they will waste no time weaponizing the very illegals we failed to deport.
Under President Joe Biden, millions of illegal aliens were allowed to pour across the southern border and invade communities nationwide. Any attempt to reverse course has been met with lawfare. One federal judge recently blocked the Trump administration from “revoking the legal status of over half a million migrants who flew in the U.S. via President Biden’s CHNV mass parole program,” Fox News’ Bill Melugin said in a post on X. That means each case would need to be adjudicated individually — a process that would paralyze deportation efforts.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller captured the scale of the crisis: “If every one of them got the trial that you’re asking for, it would take centuries to remove them.”
The strategy was clear: inundate the system and render enforcement of the law and deportation both practically and legally impossible. Frost takes the plan one step further, arguing the solution should be granting citizenship to these illegal aliens — which in turn makes them eligible to vote.
To be clear, even without formal citizenship illegal aliens are already reshaping our political landscape. Congressional apportionment and Electoral College votes are based on population — not citizenship. Blue states that have incentivized mass illegal migration and policies get increased representation and can dilute the representation that American citizens have. Rep. Yvette Clark, D-N.Y., said as much in 2021 that her district could “absorb a significant number of these migrants” because “I need more people in my district, just for redistricting purposes.”
The consequences are already baked into the system, which brings us back to Trump. Frost’s comments should serve as a warning that there can be no partial measures, no industry carve-outs, no “good illegals” versus “bad illegals.” Democrats aren’t interested in American sovereignty. They’re interested in securing permanent political power and exploiting the crisis they deliberately created to do so.
There’s only one way to preserve the Republican and that is to finish the job — no exceptions, no compromises. Every illegal alien must go.
