Senator Eric Schmitt on Restricting Immigration in Light of Deadly Attack in DC on National Guard, Blasts Democrats for America Last Policies (VIDEO)

Senator Eric Schmitt appeared on “Sunday Morning Futures” with guest host Jackie DeAngelis to discuss efforts to restrict immigration following the deadly attack on National Guard members in Washington, D.C.

The Senator emphasized the importance of enforcing the immigration laws that are already in place. He noted that one of the main reasons President Trump was reelected was his strong commitment to protecting the nation from open borders and mass migration.

“I’m particularly interested in what Congress can do about our immigration policies to help President Trump. He’s doing everything that he can,” DeAngelis remarked.

During the conversation, DeAngelis referenced a suggestion by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to cut off some illegal migrants from tax benefits and cross-border money transfers, asking Senator Schmitt if this was a good idea.

“I do. I think we need to take away every incentive possible that made this wide-open border the Biden administration constructed,” Senator Schmitt replied. “All this mass migration needs to be met with mass deportations. We have plenty of laws that are now being enforced by this administration.”

The Senator added that the left often tries to “create controversy, create chaos, make it look like the ICE agents are the bad guys in all this.”

Senator Schmitt also highlighted issues within the legal immigration system. He cited the H-1B Visa program as an example, explaining how it allows foreign workers to be paid lower wages, which hurts American workers competing for the same jobs.

“I would point out, though, that it’s not just an illegal immigration problem. We have real abuses with our legal immigration system that should be addressed,” he said.

“The good news is we have a President who wants to enforce the laws, and that is not what we saw last administration when 20 million people came here in four years, illegally,” Schmitt continued.

DeAngelis asked if there is a timeline for when Americans can expect a system to be put into place that ensures secure borders.

“That is certainly step one. I see what the President is trying to do with some of these pauses in the aftermath of this shooting,” she commented. “What can we do to fix a broken system?”

Senator Schmitt responded, “I think when you hear comprehensive immigration reform, it’s usually a code word for mass amnesty. That’s what they are talking about, and we are not interested in that. What we need to do right now is enforce the laws of the United States.”

He concluded by noting, “There is nothing particularly new about deportations. Bill Clinton deported 11 million people. The difference now is the Democrats have been radicalized.”

Messi’s Inter Miami advances to MLS Cup final with 5-1 win over NYCFC in East final

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Lionel Messi will play for another trophy, proving that longtime teammates Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets aren’t ready to begin their retirements just yet.

Tadeo Allande scored three goals, with Alba and Busquets providing the assists on his first two, as Inter Miami topped New York City FC 5-1 on Saturday night to claim the Eastern Conference title and a berth in the MLS Cup final.

Mateo Silvetti also scored in the 67th minute for Inter Miami, with Messi setting up that goal — the 405th assist of his illustrious career for club and country. This milestone is widely regarded as the most assists in soccer history.

Inter Miami, the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference, will host either San Diego or Vancouver for the MLS Cup final on December 6 at 2:30 p.m. Eastern. San Diego and Vancouver are set to face off later Saturday night for the Western Conference title.

This marks Inter Miami’s first MLS final appearance. The club had never advanced past the opening postseason round in any of its first five seasons. Interestingly, Messi’s team went 0-2 against Vancouver this season, losing both legs of a semifinal meeting in the CONCACAF Champions Cup by a 5-1 aggregate.

Justin Haak scored in the 37th minute for NYCFC, which finished the season 0-2-1 against Inter Miami.

With this decisive win, Inter Miami moves one step closer to adding another trophy to their collection, following their Leagues Cup victory in 2023 and the Supporters’ Shield as MLS’ top regular-season team last year.

Messi, a World Cup champion with Argentina and an eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, joined Inter Miami midway through the 2023 season when the team was languishing at the bottom of the MLS standings and enduring an 11-match winless streak.

Since then, the club’s profile has skyrocketed. Messi’s iconic No. 10 jersey in the team’s pink kit is now sold worldwide, a new stadium near Miami International Airport is slated to open next season, and Messi is signed through 2028. He is widely favored to win his second consecutive MLS MVP award, as the team stands on the brink of clinching an MLS title.

Stars continue to flock to see Inter Miami play because of Messi’s presence. Tennis great Carlos Alcaraz attended the game Saturday night, along with several members of the U.S. Women’s National Team.

“Everyone in the world knows who Lionel Messi is. I think everyone thought he would come in here and do exactly what he’s done,” said U.S. women’s forward Lindsay Horan, whose fandom of Messi goes back many years.

During the match, Messi took a blow to the left side of his head in the ninth minute and was briefly shaken up. He remained down near the center circle for a few seconds before getting back to his feet. Just two minutes later, he was tripped while Inter Miami was on the attack and took a direct kick from about 30 yards out, sending the ball into the box. However, Silvetti’s header off that play was easily caught by NYCFC goalie Matt Freese.

Inter Miami’s next chance came quickly thereafter. A long pass from Busquets was controlled by Allande, who skillfully beat Freese from about 12 yards out to give Miami a 1-0 lead.

Allande struck again in the 23rd minute, this time heading in a long pass from Alba to extend the lead to 2-0.

After Messi set up Silvetti for the 3-1 goal, Inter Miami essentially began a roughly 25-minute countdown to celebration, cruising toward their historic victory.

Julia Roberts’ Kids: Meet the Oscar Winner’s Children

Julia Roberts has been captivating audiences for over 30 years, from her breakout role in the 1990s hit *Pretty Woman* to more recent successes, including her latest movie, *Ticket to Paradise*, which she starred in alongside longtime friend George Clooney.

Julia and George have known each other for years, famously working together on the film *Ocean’s 12* during a very crucial time in Julia’s life—her first pregnancy! Julia starred alongside George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon, and she shared that they were all incredibly sweet to her while she was expecting.

“It was such a sweet shift in our relationships because originally, it was all pranks and teasing each other,” Julia told *Allure*. “And here I am pregnant, so it’s like, them pulling out my chair and just making sure I have enough water and, ‘Are you feeling okay?’”

Julia is now the proud mother of three children: twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and their younger brother Henry. She shares her children with her husband, Daniel Moder, a cinematographer whom she met while working on the 2000 comedy *The Mexican*. They married in 2002.

Her kids have grown up quickly and are now teenagers! Like many parents, Julia has found it challenging to adjust to this new phase of parenting.

“Danny and I really don’t know what it’s like to be a teenager today. Sometimes my kids ask me things, and I just say to them, ‘I’m going to say no, and I’m going to look into it because I don’t even know what we’re talking about,’” she told Oprah Winfrey in a 2018 interview for *Harper’s Bazaar*.

Here’s everything you need to know about Julia Roberts’ children:

### Hazel Moder

Julia and Daniel’s first children were twins born in November 2004. Hazel Moder has grown up a lot and looks remarkably like her mom! She made her red carpet debut in July 2021 when she accompanied her dad to the premiere of his movie *Flag Day* at the Cannes Film Festival. Dressed in an off-white dress and black shoes with her hair pulled back in a ponytail, Hazel resembled Julia in many ways.

Besides their physical similarities, Hazel seems to be following in her mother’s footsteps to some degree. She made her big-screen debut with a small role in Julia’s 2016 film *Mother’s Day*, where she played the “cartwheel kid,” according to IMDb.

Julia and Hazel also share a bond over political issues. The actress revealed that she brought her daughter to the 2017 Women’s March in Washington D.C. in a CBS interview. Julia wanted Hazel to understand the ideas and beliefs she holds as a woman.

“She had a very strong interest in the election, and I think the result was so surprising to her, as it was to many of us. And I felt it was important for her to feel a sense of participating—you know, that you’re not just in your house and this thing has happened,” Julia explained.

Hazel also shares a close relationship with her dad. Daniel Moder posted a selfie of Hazel on his Instagram in September 2019, praising her as his daughter and commenting on her fun personality.

When Hazel and Phinnaeus turned 19 on November 28, 2023, Julia posted a heartfelt Instagram tribute featuring a throwback photo of the twins as babies.

“There are no words for the joy, the fun, the wild rumpus of life together,” she wrote.

### Phinnaeus Moder

Hazel’s twin brother, Phinnaeus Moder, appears to share his father’s interests more closely. The two were spotted wearing matching white t-shirts in June, and Phinnaeus seems to have a passion for skateboarding.

Julia revealed that her kids were the reason she joined Instagram, although the Academy Award-winning actress seldom posts pictures of her children. On the other hand, Daniel Moder occasionally shares glimpses into their family life, highlighting his bond with Phinnaeus.

Daniel has posted photos of himself surfing and also shared snapshots of Phinnaeus skateboarding. He even displayed his photography skills by posting a stunning photo of Phinnaeus tossing a bottle in the desert in June.

### Henry Moder

Three years after the twins, Julia and Daniel welcomed their youngest son, Henry, in June 2007. Like Phinnaeus, Henry also shares an interest in extreme sports.

Daniel has shared many videos showing Henry shredding on his skateboard, just like his older brother. Besides skateboarding, there are clips of Henry performing flips on a trampoline, highlighting his active and adventurous nature.

In a July 2018 photo, Daniel referred to his youngest as “one cool kid,” revealing just how proud he is of his son.

Julia Roberts’ family life reflects a close-knit and loving bond, with her children growing up surrounded by creativity, adventure, and the support of their famous parents. As her kids enter their teenage years, Julia continues to navigate parenthood with humor, love, and dedication.

Trump says the U.S. will ‘very soon’ take action on land to stop alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers

President Donald Trump suggested Thursday night that the U.S. could “very soon” begin targeting alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers on land, expanding operations that have so far focused on the Caribbean Sea.

In Thanksgiving remarks to U.S. troops around the world, Trump thanked the Air Force’s 7th Bomb Wing for their work to “deter Venezuelan drug traffickers” and said “it’s about 85% stopped by sea… and we’ll be starting to stop them by land.”

“Also, the land is easier, but that’s going to start very soon,” the president added, speaking from his Mar-a-Lago estate.

The comments come as Trump weighs whether to take military action against Venezuela as part of what his administration has called a campaign against drug trafficking. Senior U.S. military officials have also made recent visits to leaders in the Caribbean.

For months, the president has intensified the U.S. military presence in the region, ramping up pressure on Venezuela with strikes on alleged drug boats since early September. The military has carried out nearly two dozen known strikes on vessels they said were carrying drugs, killing at least 82 people.

Last week, the USS Gerald R. Ford, a major aircraft carrier, arrived in the Caribbean, rounding out a build-up of U.S. military forces in the region that has not been seen for decades.

The U.S. also designated the Cartel de los Soles—a group Washington alleges is run by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro—as a foreign terrorist organization. These moves have raised both expectations and concerns over a possible strike inside Venezuela.

Yet even as he increases military pressure, Trump has said he could still hold talks with Maduro, suggesting a possible diplomatic pathway to defuse mounting tensions.

“I might talk to him,” Trump said aboard Air Force One this week. “We’ll see. We’re discussing this with different staff.”

Asked about the administration’s continued targeting of narcotraffickers on Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that “you can expect to see those strikes continue.”

NBC News previously reported that, according to current and former U.S. law enforcement and military officials as well as narcotics experts, drug cartels operating vessels in the Caribbean are mainly moving cocaine from South America to Europe, not to the U.S.

During his remarks on Thursday, Trump also spoke with members of other military service groups, offering to take “any damn question you want.” Military members praised him, told stories, and asked questions about his presidency.

A Marine speaking from Camp Santiago, Puerto Rico, said that his battalion was ready to support the president’s operation against narcoterrorists.

Millions of Migrants Right to Remain in US to Be Reviewed—White House

The U. S. government will speed up efforts to review the immigration status of “every single person added to this country over the last four years,” Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to Donald Trump, said on Wednesday. “What you heard from President Trump, the breaking news here tonight, is that his government is going to accelerate efforts to review every single person added to this country over the last four years,” he told Fox News, estimatng that would amount to 20 million migrants. The undocumented immigrant population in the United States reached 14 million in 2023, according to nonpartisan think tank Pew Research Center. President Donald Trump said earlier on Wednesday that individuals who arrived in the U. S. from Afghanistan during the Biden administration should have their status “reexamined.” Trump spoke after it emerged two West Virginia National Guard members deployed in Washington, D. C., had been shot and injured, with an Afghan national named as the suspect. “We must now reexamine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden and we must take all necessary measures to ensure the removal of any alien from the country who does not belong here, or add benefit to our country. If they can’t love our country, we don’t want them,” President Trump said. Rahmanullah Lakanwal entered the U. S. in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said. Lakamal was granted asylum earlier this year under the Trump administration, according to reports from several outlets. Miller added: “Now if you’re an illegal you’re out automatically, but everybody else who was brought here refugee-, asylum- status whatever status, as he said, if you’re not someone who loves this country if you’re not any benefit to this country wer’e going to send you out of this country.” Thousands of Afghans entered the U. S. after the U. S. withdrawal and the Taliban regaining control in 2021. Many had worked with American forces as interpreters and support staff and were considered at risk of persecution under the new Taliban government. This is a developing story; updates to follow.
