His plan includes a six<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >-month moratorium allowing illegal immigrants<\/a> to apply for a conditional work visa, enabling them to stay and work legally in the U.S. provided they have not committed crimes. Those who commit serious offenses would be deported,and migrants could then pursue citizenship through the proper channels. Lindell emphasizes that good faith immigrants, who have lived here peacefully and learned English, should be integrated legally, including the possibility of obtaining driver\u2019s licenses and working permits, with strict conditions for employment and behavior.<\/p>\n<p>He suggests removing criminals and those who overstayed visas, particularly those with felonies, by deporting them quickly and using funds recovered from illegal employment and fines to support legal immigration processes. Lindell advocates for fingerprinting and whistleblower laws to identify and deport illegal offenders, aiming to reduce crime and illegal costs considerably. He also proposes enforcing existing laws against protests and illegal activities to improve safety and order.<\/p>\n<p>Following the interview, Lindell clarified his comments, stating his words were taken out of context and that he opposes amnesty. He plans to publish detailed policy bullet points and further explain his approach, emphasizing it as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sinema-joins-cornyn-calling-on-biden-to-use-full-authorities-to-address-border-crisis\/\" title=\"Sinema Joins Cornyn Calling On Biden To Use \u2018Full Authorities\u2019 To Address Border Crisis\">common-sense solution<\/a> to immigration challenges, crime reduction, and economic recovery in Minnesota.

I agree with both things. Bad people should go, and good people should stay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m a person of second chances. If the only thing they ever did was cross the border and didn\u2019t report back in because they were afraid of not or being re-deported. But anyway, that\u2019s coming out tomorrow. And my policies, none of them have problem solutions, like I have, that I\u2019m going to lay out. None of them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-3\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-3\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-17\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong><em>Washington Examiner<\/em><\/strong>:<\/strong> Any sneak peeks of those policies that you can give?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lindell:<\/strong> Yeah. Here would be one. Um, I\u2019ll give you, I\u2019ll give you two. I\u2019ll give you one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, my, the illegal immigrants, okay, that are here, if the, if the only crime they\u2019ve ever committed was crossing the border and then they didn\u2019t report back in when it was time or an overstayed visa or whatever, okay, you have them. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-4\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-4\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-25\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-4\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The way this would go down, you would have, right now in Minnesota, you have 1,300 illegals here that have committed felonies. That\u2019s murder, rape, blah blah blah, pedophile, whatever, whatever felony they committed. We\u2019re housing them in Minnesota. It costs $85,000 a month to house or a year to house. It\u2019s $110 million. You ship these guys out immediately. They have to do their time in their own country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those deals have already been made with other countries to come to get them out. Now the ones that are left, the illegals that are here. I started, I worked on this 10 years ago when I was buying cotton in California, and I was with the guy\u2019s cotton field, and I was there buying his cotton.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And he goes, \u201cYou know what? It\u2019s hard for me to compete with next door.\u201d He said, \u201cThere\u2019s two things going on. They\u2019re hiring all the illegals. They\u2019re avoiding paying taxes. That these are the employers, the horrible employers that are using these guys for slave labor, underpaying them [in] cash.\u201d \u2026 And remember this was eight, nine years ago.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-5\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-5\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-26\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-5\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong><em>Washington Examiner<\/em><\/strong>:<\/strong> Yeah.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lindell:<\/strong> And so I went and I met with the illegals, this is down in San Diego. I met with a lot of them, and I heard their stories. And they\u2019re going, even getting underpaid cash, a lot of them, they\u2019re getting money stolen from them. They get back, maybe home wherever they would be staying, they steal the money. They commit crimes against them because who are they going to tell? Because they\u2019re going to get deported. You follow me?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Washington Examiner<\/em>:<\/strong> Yeah. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lindell:<\/strong> So, they\u2019re living in the shadows. It\u2019s horrible. Okay. So what I\u2019m going to do is I\u2019m going to have a six-month moratorium. This will be a one-time. This is what I would like. I\u2019d like the whole United States to do this, but let\u2019s say I did it here in Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Six months, all the illegals here, immigrants, would have to go get what\u2019s going to be called a work, a conditional work visa. They don\u2019t expire, they just have conditions. So it\u2019s a conditional work visa. You go get your fingerprints taken. You get put in the system now. You\u2019re not a citizen. You can\u2019t vote, but you have this card that now you can work and you can go be paying taxes, be functioning in society. And so you have six months to get this card.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now here\u2019s the condition to this: if you ever commit a crime? Not commit a crime. Convicted of a gross misdemeanor or more, you\u2019re shipped out of the country. That was your chance. It\u2019s almost like being on probation. It\u2019s a lifetime probation. I mean, that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unless you want to go get your, you can also go apply to be a citizen. I met with the people that are waiting in line. I went down to Florida, the immigration center there in Palm Beach, or West Palm Beach I think it was, and met with them. The people that are coming here legally, they\u2019re standing in line a long time. It\u2019s very expensive, but they love, they\u2019re loving to come here. The first thing they do is learn English.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okay, now here would be another thing that these guys, if they have these cards, could also go get a driver\u2019s license. And if they get a driver\u2019s license, there\u2019s going to be another requirement in Minnesota: You have to learn English.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You cannot drive a car if you can\u2019t read the road signs. If you don\u2019t know English, you\u2019re not going to be allowed with those conditional work visas to get a driver\u2019s license. It\u2019s going to be a part. When I used to get DWIs and alcohol tickets back in the \u201980s, I had to go through years of testing, rehabilitation in order to get the privilege to drive again. Driving is a privilege, and so you would put that on there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now here\u2019s another thing, the employers, the employers that are employing these. If after those six months are up, if you\u2019re ever caught, if you\u2019re caught hiring people for cash again, hiring people for cash, the illegals, you go to prison.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CEO goes to prison for 90 days or to jail. There\u2019s not going to be a fine. There\u2019s not going to be a fine because if there\u2019s a fine, they\u2019ll just use that as the cost of doing business. So these people are going to be held accountable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now here\u2019s what happens. The money, just in Minnesota, and I don\u2019t have the figures, God dang it. It\u2019s $7.5 billion that are being spent, or they\u2019re being taxes, or wages that are being paid out illegally in Minnesota. $7.5 billion, with a B.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okay, the taxes not paid on that, at the employer level is about, I believe, it was $800 million. At the worker level, it\u2019s $560 million. That\u2019s a lot of money that can come back to the taxpayers of Minnesota. And here\u2019s a beautiful thing I\u2019m putting on it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Washington Examiner<\/em>:<\/strong> Yeah.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lindell:<\/strong> The illegals that are left, that didn\u2019t come in to get that conditional visa, work visa. They\u2019re criminals. These guys have been committing crimes against the other illegals and others because they\u2019re not working. They\u2019ve been committing crimes. But guess who\u2019s going to tell on them?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re going to have whistleblower laws by the illegals that are now got these cards that they\u2019re going to say, \u201cHey, this is the crimes these guys were doing.\u201d Now you\u2019re, they\u2019re at the police, and they\u2019re calling them out. They\u2019re getting arrested, and they\u2019re getting the heck out of our country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So with this thing, in less than six months, within a year, you\u2019ve cleaned up a whole city that everybody, you know when you have ICE coming into a city, and and you know like Minnesota, we had the two tragedies. People are out there, \u201cThey\u2019re going, oh, they\u2019re shipping out legals, illegal people.\u201d No, they\u2019re shipping out illegals, but they\u2019re good illegals. They haven\u2019t done anything. They might have lived here 10 years. They\u2019re not getting the ones we want gone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now, what I would do is, I would take money that we\u2019re going to get from these crooked employers. We\u2019re going to, and I\u2019m going to put these crooked employers, that raises, like I said, $800 million itself. You take some of that money and you put it into getting people that are standing in line to come here legally, which could include those people with those papers. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But right now it\u2019s very expensive, $5,000 to $15,000, to stand in line. Well, people don\u2019t have that money. So, what you do there is you make it a lot cheaper or even free, and you get these people vetted and moved through.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, here\u2019s the last thing I\u2019ll tell you: This makes your city with the illegals pretty much crime-free because if the other, if any crime is committed, and you\u2019re out there and you\u2019re looking for evidence, now because they\u2019ve been fingerprinted, you know who did it. You know who did it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026 And it\u2019s just, it\u2019s the biggest, most common-sense solution to this problem we have in this country. I told that on a station up here, Esme Murphy, and she said, \u201cWell, Mike, the Republicans aren\u2019t going to like that, and maybe the president won\u2019t like it.\u201d And I said, \u201cI don\u2019t care.\u201d I said, \u201cThis is going to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Minnesota, this is about all citizens, helping all citizens. Helping bring back our cities and making them safe again, and providing millions of dollars that these employers are stealing from us. And so that\u2019s just one thing. And I know I told you the long version. I\u2019m putting that in bullet points tomorrow night. It\u2019ll be aired on, I think CNN\u2019s coming or whatever, and I\u2019m going to put it in a very descriptive, easy-to-read bullet points, and then, but I\u2019ve got many, many like that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong><em>Washington Examiner<\/em><\/strong>:<\/strong> I\u2019m looking forward to following that tomorrow. Now, when you say these \u201ctwo tragedies,\u201d I assume that you\u2019re referring to the Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good shootings. Am I right about that?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lindell:<\/strong> Yeah, any people dying is tragic. I\u2019m sorry, that\u2019s the way I am. That\u2019s who I am. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong><em>Washington Examiner<\/em><\/strong>:<\/strong>  How would you take steps as governor to make sure that that doesn\u2019t happen in the future?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lindell:<\/strong> I just told you the biggest step because when ICE doesn\u2019t have to come in, and all they have to do, you cooperate with ICE, and you say, \u201cHey, we\u2019ve got in our county jails and our prisons. Hey, we\u2019ve got more to pick up.\u201d They never have to go into the neighborhood then because you\u2019ve got your whistleblowers. You\u2019ve got everybody. They\u2019re policing now, the illegals that get the good illegals. They\u2019re gonna say, \u201cHere, these guys are bad guys.\u201d Nobody wants rapists in their neighborhood or whatever. Vet those people that they\u2019re looking for, these really bad illegals, will be out, and you would have a pickup station at all the jails like it\u2019s supposed to be. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other thing I will do in Minneapolis is Minneapolis has the strictest, I believe, has the strictest protest laws in the nation. Now you wouldn\u2019t know that, would you? You know, we let Black Lives Matter block off [Interstate] 35W, our main highway, about eight, nine years ago. You just got to enforce the protest laws that are already in place because you can\u2019t let protesters break laws while they\u2019re protesting. I firmly believe in protesting, but you certainly do not get to break laws, impede people from getting [from] Point A [to Point B]. \u2026 A lot of them couldn\u2019t get to their houses.

These are all laws that are on the books, so I don\u2019t have to. All they, all they just have to do is be enforced. And Minneapolis also has, and St. Paul, has many very tragic homeless, like a lot of cities do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/4649915\/minnesota-gop-reject-trump-endorsement-mike-lindell\/\"><strong>MINNESOTA GOP REJECTS TRUMP\u2019S ENDORSEMENT OF MIKE LINDELL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But we\u2019re really, it\u2019s really getting bad here.
