"It seems to me that it doesn't work just to trash the socialists. They should be trashed, but there has to be more than that."

I think he makes some good points, i.e. not smart to just sit back and say, "Well maybe this time it will be different". Not sure his "Contract with America" will work. Not at this juncture anyway.

Your thoughts?

His family says he is here legally.

ICE says he legally migrated from Venezuela in 2014. Was allowed to stay until 2018. He has not had legal status since then, and, according to ICE, "has overstayed his welcome".

"On August 16, 2026, Border Patrol arrested Oswaldo Jose Pirela Dominguez, an illegal alien from Venezuela, at the El Paso International Airport. He entered the country legally on September 10, 2014, and was granted permission by the Obama administration to remain in the country until February 10, 2018. In violation of our nation’s laws, he overstayed his welcome. When approached by law enforcement officers, he was not in possession of legal documentation granting him status in the country. He will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings and will receive due process.

To be clear, work authorization or a pending application do NOT confer legal status in the United States.

Being in detention is a choice. We encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $2,600 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return."
