An ICE official had to explain to a Democrat Senator that illegal immigrants are illegal because they have in fact violated the law. 

According to The Daily Wire:

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official had to explain to a Democrat senator during a hearing on Tuesday that illegal aliens are illegal aliens because they have broken federal immigration laws.

Matthew T. Albence, Executive Associate Director for Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) at ICE had to inform Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) that illegal aliens face prosecution because they have broken the law.

“Mr. Albence, would you send your children to FRCs?” Hirono asked.

“Again, I think we’re missing the point,” Albence replied. “These individuals are there because they have broken a law. There has to be a process.”

It is concerning that our elected officials put politics over common sense. A lawmaker should understand that breaking the law is, in fact, an illegal act.
