From Fox News: Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., was blasted for arguing Wednesday that the best way to solve the illegal immigration crisis is by providing everyone with a path to citizenship.
Frost hosted a press conference alongside multiple immigrant advocacy groups to announce his “Stop Unlawful Detention and End Mistreatment” or “SUDEM” Act. This legislation pushes for transparency in immigration detention by requiring all ICE-operated or ICE-affiliated facilities to be held accountable for their actions.
Frost declared that he and his allied groups are “fighting to hold Donald Trump, his administration and this state accountable for a taxpayer-funded kidnapping program trafficking our people across the entire world that they’re running under the disguise of an immigration system.”
After declaring that “being undocumented in this country is not a crime,” the lawmaker proposed that the best way to lower the number of illegal immigrants is simply to legalize them.
“We are an immigrant-filled community. We are a community filled with people. And yes, people are going to have different statuses, and to my Republican colleagues that say, “I don’t want any undocumented people in this country,’ I actually agree with you. So, let’s document every single one of them with a speedy path to citizenship. That’s how we fix this problem,” Frost said.
Blasting Maxwell for his comment, political commentator David Freeman wrote, “America would be reduced to a sh*thole if Democrats retake power. Here is devout socialist Maxwell Frost advocating for blanket amnesty with EVERY illegal alien present. They cannot be allowed to take back power.”

Conservative social media users have erupted in fury over Frost’s brazen suggestion.
“If you want the 3rd world – MOVE THERE,” declared Eric Daugherty.
“This guy should be expelled from Congress for suggesting this,” wrote Ian Jaeger.
“How did Florida elect this lunatic?” asked Paul Szypula.
“Democrats are broke beyond repair,” quipped X user Unlimited L’s.
Trump adviser Stephen Miller wrote, “If the Democrats were to obtain full political control of Washington they would swiftly complete the project of relocating the destitute and developing nations of the world in your communities and then giving them the full rights and privileges of US citizenship.”

White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson also weighed in, writing, “Dems say the quiet part out loud – make EVERY illegal alien legal, including the murderers, rapists, and other criminals. No way in hell.”

Frost has repeatedly called for amnesty for illegal aliens. On Monday he wrote, “13 years ago, immigrants brought to the U.S. as children were finally granted the right to remain here without fear of persecution and to experience the dignity of work —the right to not just dream but finally plan their future. This country is as much theirs as it is ours. It’s time we expand legal pathways to citizenship and honor America’s tradition as a nation of immigrants.”
