Within days of taking office, President Trump launched an aggressive crackdown down on illegal and legal immigration.

It has featured high-profile raids, some controversial deportations, and a showdown with the courts.

I spoke earlier with Florida Republican Congresswoman Maria Salazar, who has introduced a bill in the House aimed at addressing immigration reform.

Miami-Dade County, which you represent, has the highest share of immigrants in the country.

President Trump's move to revoke deportation protections from hundreds of thousands of legal migrants

from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela. How is that affecting your constituents?

Well, I agree with what you're saying.

We have a lot of people who come from other parts of the world.

And I am very happy that right now the TPS program and the people who came in through the

220I and different forms of immigration procedures are continuing.

We are giving protection to the Venezuelans through the TPS because the courts came in

and they indicated to the Trump administration that they needed to have some due process of law.

So that is the beauty of democracy.

Sometimes the legislative, the judicial system talks to the legislative and talks to the executive

and things, but in this hour and for what concerns my community, we are happy that the TPS people are protected, basically Venezuelans.

But what do you think the administration misunderstands about immigration patterns in South Florida,

especially given the instability in Latin America that continues to drive migration?

Look, this is a very big conversation, and I think you're right on point.

The problem here is this.

The last four years, the Biden administration opened the border.

Ten million people came in.

The Trump administration is trying to fill those potholes left by Biden.
