There are already the predictable calls for “commonsense” gun control after an 18-year-old shot and killed 14 elementary school students and a teacher in Uvalde, Texas Tuesday afternoon. Of course, the cable news channels have scrambled to bring in panelists for their hot takes, and CNN has turned to Juliette Kayyem, former assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Her advice to the Biden administration in the wake of the shooting? Suspend all immigration enforcement in the community. Why? Because people shouldn’t be in hiding now … they should be with their kids.

A few minutes later, Kayyem doubles down:
"We need the federal government to say right now, everyone is essentially safe harbor right now in terms of immigration status."
Again, she suggests it's because of "all the politics going on in Texas right now" dealing with immigration. pic.twitter.com/oYouvMmkh6— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) May 24, 2022
How about no. Kayyem is also known for also hot takes, such as calling for the Freedom Convoy’s truckers’ tires to be slashed and the truckers arrested.

What's she even talking about? Mayorkas can't seem to get enough ILLEGALS into the US.
