A far-left Democrat congressional candidate in Pennsylvania humiliated herself on live television last week after being asked a basic question about immigration enforcement.
On Friday, Dr. Ala Stanford sat down for a one-on-one interview with NBC 10 Philadelphia’s Lauren Mayk to discuss her candidacy for Pennsylvania’s 3rd congressional district, which is located in Philly.
As NBC 10 notes, voters are choosing a new member of congress to replace retiring Congressman Dwight Evans to represent the district.
In the middle of the interview, Mayk brought up Stanford’s support for abolishing ICE and had a very basic question for her that a grade school student could answer: who should be in charge of enforcing immigration laws?
Stanford froze for several seconds before remarking it was a good question that she needed to think about.
But then Mayk said she needed to go ahead and answer. Unbelievably, Stanford made things even worse with what she said next.

MAYK: You also said you’re running to abolish ICE…From an immigration enforcement perspective, who do you think should be in charge of enforcing immigration laws?
STANFORD (pauses first and nods her head): That’s a good question (pauses again). And you can…I just want to think about it.
MAYK: We need to continue, though.
STANFORD: Who do I think should be in charge of enforcing immigration laws? (short pause) Not the executive branch.
So not the president. It belongs with Congress.
Based on this astonishing answer, Stanford either wants to completely alter the Constitution which CLEARLY states that the executive branch is in charge of enforcing the laws while Congress makes law.
Or she simply has no clue how the government works. Either possibility is alarming.
