Sen. Katie Britt: Trump will show ‘strength’ on immigration in first 100 days

U.S. Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala.said Americans should expect a show of “strength” from President-elect Donald Trump during his first 100 days back in office. Fox News “Livin’ the Bream” Podcast this week.

“This will be my first opportunity to be in the majority (in the Senate), obviously my first opportunity to have a Republican in the White House,” Britt told host Shannon Bream.

“And definitely my first opportunity to be part of what they call “the trifecta.” A party having the White House, House and Senate.

“And with that and with the way the vote went down on November 5, the American people spoke, and they spoke loudly. And that involves a lot of responsibility and people will expect concrete results.

Britt said one area where people can expect to see results quickly is in the country’s border control and immigration policies.

“You look at where we are and obviously I think you’ll see President Trump coming in with significant force looking at a number of executive orders put in place by President Biden,” she said.

“I mean (Biden) issued 94 decrees in its first 100 days this reversed much of the progress President Trump made during his administration. So you’ll probably see a lot of it coming right out of the gate.

Trump pledged to launch the largest eviction operation in the country’s history with Tom Homan, its former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as its “border czar” and recently appointed long-time advisor Stephen Millera hard-liner on immigration, will be named deputy policy chief for his new administration.

Britt said the Republican Party would work across the aisle on funding decisions related to “border barriers” and other immigration policies.

Britt said she would also work with her Democratic colleagues on several other issues that hit closer to home, using maternal mortality as an example.

“Alabama has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country“, she said.

“We are unfortunately evolving since the beginning of this list. This disproportionately affects Black women and Sen. Laphonza (Butler, D-Calif.) and I think in 2024, that absolutely should not be the case.

“So there are a number of things that we could continue to talk about, example after example after example, where we face some really significant challenges as a nation. And you have people who are willing to walk into a room and try to find a solid path forward to actually help the people that we serve. So, I think we need more of that.
