WASHINGTON – Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) joined Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla on Fox News Radio to discuss the upcoming NASA-SpaceX Crew 11 mission to the International Space Station, President Trump's new trade deal with the European Union, the latest from Alligator Alcatraz, and the recent shooting in New York City.

"You should go back home, self deport":

"It sends a clear signal and in Florida we're not going to tolerate that stuff. So, you know, if you are in the country illegally, first things first, you should go back home, self deport. It's actually better for you and better for America, you should do that. Number two, you know, if we catch you in Florida, we're gonna hold you and prepare you to be deported by I.C.E. And so, I think, when its very clear that that's the position of your state then there's no ambiguity and I think that is actually what helps, not just illegal immigration, but so many other things."

"It's really a recipe for a booming economic strategy":

"At the end of the day, these other countries they need access to American markets. That's just a reality, that just a fact. They need access to our markets and so, what the President has done quite well with his team is they said, 'Look we're not gonna be taken advantage of when it comes to trade. We are gonna make sure that America is in the pole position and that you people are advocating for American interests not just here, but of course around the globe.' And he's [President Trump] been able to execute this in a pretty stunning fashion actually. Usually some of these trade deals take a year to put together, two years. He's actually been able to get to brass tax with some of these other nations. So when you look at our economy, not only do we have a strong foundation for our economy, but he's brought inflation down. Obviously, no tax on tips, overtime, Social Security. Keeping his entire tax agenda in place really has been a boom for businesses here in the United States. Then you bring in stuff like 100 percent expensing for business owners. When they go buy that piece of equipment, they can expense it all in year one. That's actually gonna drive more capital investment in the United States over the short term. It's really the recipe for a booming economic strategy and then you still have to cut regulations but the President is already doing that with his team. I think that puts us in a position to be very successful. What that really means is that people will be successful  in the United States and some of the early reports are wages adjusted for inflation are actually up again - especially at the bottom end of our economic ladder which means we're closing the wealth gap as well. It's a great recipe, a great recipe of success brought to us by Donald Trump."
