In a recent CNN interview, Senator-elect Jim Banks (R-IN) outlined a detailed approach to address illegal immigration, advocating for the deportation of approximately 15 million undocumented immigrants. Speaking with CNN’s Dana Bash, Banks emphasized that mass deportation, strengthened border security, and reinstating former immigration policies would be central to the next administration’s agenda, should Republicans secure the White House and Congress.
Dana Bash questioned Banks on what he expects the next administration’s priority on immigration to be. Banks, who will assume the Senate seat of Indiana’s new governor, Mike Braun, made it clear: he expects a swift rollback of Biden-era immigration policies. Banks specifically highlighted the Remain in Mexico policy, which previously required asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their cases were processed. This policy marked a sharp contrast to the current administration’s “catch and release” approach, which allows immigrants to reside in the U.S. as they await court hearings.
