'Bumbling idiot': Freshman GOP senator unleashes on blue city mayor, Dems opposing Trump's deportations

"My message to the mayors of those cities is, why don't you do this for a change, why don't you actually advocate for the American citizens that live in your communities, help them with better schools, better housing and better security rather than protecting criminal illegals that shouldn't even be in this country in the first place," the freshman senator told Fox News Digital. "And I think when the voters of those cities see what these mayors are doing, they're going to throw them out."

"The mayor of Chicago is probably the worst mayor in American history," Moreno continued. "He's just going for extra credit. The guy is a total and complete bumbling idiot. So, hopefully, the voters of Chicago take care of that pretty quickly."

The Chicago mayor's office acknowledged Fox News Digital's inquiry by labeling Moreno's comment "ad hominem criticism," but did not expand on their response.

"We understand that we are in the middle of an invasion," Easley said. "Every single person who came across that border came with an invoice on their back for the Chicago taxpayer."

Moreno praised Trump's efforts and said he anticipates the flurry of immigration moves from Trump in recent days to continue.  

"It's amazing," Moreno told Fox News Digital. "I mean, President Trump knows the urgency that we need to get safety and security back to our cities. Look, these criminal aliens should never have been allowed to be in this country in the first place. Joe Biden put this country in jeopardy for four years and President Trump's going to clean it up really fast."

Moreno, when asked if that vote shows Democrats are becoming increasingly more open to addressing the illegal immigration issue, said, "Absolutely."

"I mean, look, this should be an American issue, like we want legal immigrants to come here safely, securely in a way that benefits this country, not by breaking into this country, paying drug cartel members who rape them and beat them along the journey," Moreno said. "It's the most disgusting way to welcome migrants to this country, especially fake asylum claims. We have a bill that's going to stop that."

"Look, if you're a true refugee, we're going to have a safe process for you to come to this country. If you're an economic migrant, you got to wait in line. You can't use asylum as a way to skip a line ahead of millions of people, which is fundamentally unfair. And I think a lot of Democrats will come on board with my bill."

Moreno recently introduced the Refugees Using Legal Entry Safely (RULES) Act, which aims to reform the way asylum seekers enter the United States.
