Former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), who was recently expelled from Congress, made a pitch on Tuesday to serve as former President Trump’s director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if Trump wins his bid to return to the White House in 2024.
“My new year resolution is that President Trump returns to the white house and in 2025 I can be appointed Director of ICE,” Santos wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Enough abuse and disregard for our sovereignty, we are the United States OF America and not a global dumping hub. ICE has had their hands tied for far too long with the sole exception of the great four years of DJT,” Santos wrote, referring to Trump by his initials.
Because he’s a republican who is pro-Trump, so the screaming maga don’t care as much about his crimes or lies, afterall they say “every politician lies” and then vote for the liars who say the shit that the maga like.
So the republicans in power cover for him, until it became too much for them.
You misunderstand me. I’m not asking about how people could vote for him. I’m asking how can he legally be on the ballot/swore in? Surely there’s some form at some point where he has to put some citizenship proof, be it a driver license or passport number.
I’m on a visa, can I put my name on the ballot and be sworn in?
You need to be a citizen for at least 7 years to be eligible to hold office, but Santos may have just lied on the paperwork, and the people in charge of checking that shit have little incentive to actually check, because Santos is a Republican who blindly supported the agenda, until he became a liability to the party.
