Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) blasted officials in California and Mexico for encouraging violent resistance against the Trump administration’s enforcement of U.S. immigration laws during an exclusive interview with Border Hawk on Monday.

“It’s just complete lawlessness, and it’s endorsed by the government. The mayor of Los Angeles and the media saying they don’t need to be sending police in to a situation where people are enjoying watching a car burn,” Rep. Burchett told us.

We showed Rep. Burchett a survey put forth by Rep. Andy Ogles asking, “Is Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass knowingly encouraging illegal aliens to reside in LA?”
“I think she is. They just want numbers. It’s a perfect Marxist-communist agenda being fulfilled. They swell the numbers, they get the federal aid, they don’t pay into it. They want to destroy the system. They hate this country. They hate our flag. They hate everything we standing for,” Burchett asserted.

“You’ve got a group of foreigners who are waving a foreign flag and protesting in our country,” he continued. “You’ve also seen the Mexican president call for disruption in our country, as well. That reeks of an invasion to me.”

“I think they better be very careful. They’re going to poke the bull too many times. President Trump is not Joe Biden. He’s not going to be on some beach in Delaware,” Burchett said.
