Hannity Says Immigration Raids at Home Depot Are Not A Good Idea'

"Now, is ICE perfect? They're not. Can they do a better job? They can. So I think that, you know, some of the optics at times, do I think that going into Home Depots and arresting people there is a good idea? I don't. I don't think that people that if you're working at a place, you're not the immediate problem. Eventually, we'll have to deal with those people that didn't respect our laws, borders, and sovereignty."

"There's gotta be a program where people get to come forward. I think they should then be given transportation home. They can get a check for, what, $2,000? And they can apply to come back in the country legally. We can vet them. We can do a health check on them and make sure they won't be a financial burden on the American people. I think that'd be a more responsible, reasonable way to deal"

Federal agents from Border Patrol and ICE have conducted raids at establishments such as Home Depot to round up undocumented workers. Two fatal shootings occurred this month: Border Patrol agents shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti after disarming him and firing ten times; an ICE agent shot 37-year-old Renee Good three times as she drove away. Deportation efforts increased under the Trump administration in Minnesota and other states. Criticism targeted Democratic immigration policies while opposing workplace arrests. A proposed alternative calls for a program allowing workers to come forward, receive transportation home and modest payment, undergo vetting and health checks, and apply for legal reentry.
