Courts too often protect illegal immigrants at the expense of U.S. citizens, a "madness" that ignores the "collateral damage" to America, according to former immigration enforcement official Mike Cutler.
In an interview Wednesday with "Newsmax Now" host Bill Tucker on Newsmax TV, Cutler decried the intervention of courts that fail to deport illegal immigrants.
"If the courts want to intercede and tell the president what he can or cannot do, basically, have we ever seen the courts come down on the side of telling immigration 'you cannot give this person lawful status, this person is a threat, you must deport him?'" Cutler told Tucker.
"The courts always seem to come down on the side of 'let's let them stay here,' even if they pose a clear and present danger either to national security or the lives of the people inside our borders. This is madness and this is not justice."

"We spend billions of dollars on smart weapons so that we do the least damage to the civilians, but it seems as though the courts and our politicians don't care," he said.
Cutler also defended funding President Donald Trump's border wall in a government spending bill.
"It only plugs one hole . . . but it's an important hole," he said. "Look at the flood of drugs and criminals coming cross that border. This is only common sense, and it's something they should have done a decade ago."
