“There may be nowhere you’ll be able to present protected haven to people who find themselves on this nation illegally,” Lewandowski mentioned throughout an interview on “The Benny Present” podcast. “Not the Tremendous Bowl and nowhere else. We’ll discover and deport you. That may be a very actual state of affairs.”
