Florida Congressman Randy Fine is calling for the mass deportation of all “mainstream Muslim immigrants” – both legal and illegal.
“It is time for a Muslim travel ban, radical deportations of all mainstream Muslim legal and illegal immigrants, and citizenship revocations wherever possible,” the Republican lawmaker posted on social media. “Mainstream Muslims have declared war on us. The least we can do is kick them the hell out of America.”
The congressman was a guest on my Newsmax television program. Here’s a transcript of that conversation:
TODD: All right, joining me now is Congressman Randy Fine, a Republican from Florida. Congressman, good to have you with us. Look, I want to cut right to the chase here. You’ve mentioned multiple times on social media that we’ve got to do something with the Islamist. What do we need to do here? What needs to happen?
REP. FINE: Well, thank you for having me. I would challenge the premise of your question. It’s not the Islamists. It’s mainstream Muslims. The term Islamist or radical Islam is said to minimize it, to make it seem like there’s some small fraction of these people believe these things. It is a very widespread view. In fact, the radical Muslims are those who don’t want to kill us. So what do we have to do about it? Well, I think we have say that we have had enough and we have stop letting them in, which President Trump has expanded today. He has said no more so-called Palestinians coming into the country. We need to send all of them home that are here. And then for people like Ilan Omar who engage in immigration fraud to become Americans, we need to prosecute, denaturalize and deport. The future of Western civilization is at stake here. And the question is, have we had enough? How many more people have to die?
TODD: You know, it’s a great question. And I got to tell you, we just saw the press conference from Providence, Rhode Island. I’m looking at people that are trying to hide something, Congressman. And I just, I find it very odd that on a campus where 90% of the student population are liberal, that the vice president for the college Republicans is one of the ones who was targeted. What say you?
REP. FINE: Look, I want to be very measured because I will tell you this, if the rumors turn out to be true, all hell is going to break loose. So look, at this point, it could be a kid who got denied admission or a kid who was stressed out about his exams or or who knows. But if it turns out to the worst, if what he was yelling is what many of us believe he probably was, then we are to have to make a hard decision in this country, which is, are we all going to be willing to die to sacrifice ourselves on the altar of political correctness? How many times do Muslim terrorists have to kill us before we’re willing to do something?
TODD: You know, it’s a great question. And it’s one I think we should have addressed the day of the 9-11 terrorist attacks. But for some reason, elected leaders on both sides of the aisle, Congressman, they just have an aversion to addressing this clear and present danger to the homeland.
REP. FINE: Thought about this a lot. Here’s what it is. It is very painful to destroy your view that says we’re one giant human family. We all want the same things. We can settle our differences through discussions. We all share the same values. The problem is there’s a lot of people in this world who lionize a culture of death and destruction who want to destroy those who are not like them. And some people are so unwilling to change their worldview, they’re literally allowing themselves to be slaughtered. I’m not willing to do that. I’m going to speak the truth. And the fact of the matter is we have a problem with mainstream Muslims in the world, in this country, and we have to do something about it.
TODD: I know Senator Tommy Tuberville’s been making that argument in the Senate. What are your thoughts about the statements that the congressman’s been making from the Senate chamber?
REP. FINE: Well, I agree. I’m saying much the same. We have a problem. Immigration without assimilation is invasion. And we have people who are coming to the country. The mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, told Christians they’re no longer welcome here. We have schools that are being taught that this thing that this stuff is okay, playing the call to prayer at five o’clock in the morning. These folks are coming here not to become Americans, but to destroy America. And, we have to say enough. I mean, we had Jews burned alive in Colorado a few months ago, Jews killed in Washington, Jews killed in Australia, and now we know about Muslim terror that was gonna happen on New Year’s Eve in Los Angeles and New Orleans. At what point do we say the religion of peace isn’t very peaceful, and do we do something about it? I think that is where we are, and I appreciate the senator for making the same statements.
TODD: All right, well, Congressman, we have to leave it there. Appreciate your candor on this, a very important issue to the country. Thank you.
