Jay Feely

Ex-Arizona Cardinals Kicker and Arizona RINO Congressional Candidate Jay Feely came out in defense of mass migration and DACA during his GOP Primary Debate last week. 

Feely faces Arizona State Representative Joseph Chaplik, the only Trump-aligned candidate in the race, in the July 21 Primary election. Mail-in voting started on June 24.

Despite his pro-amnesty stance, a history of close ties to the Clinton family and the Clinton Foundation, support for Barack Obama, and attacks on Trump, Feely was endorsed by Trump, leaving Arizona Trump supporters scratching their heads.

During the debate on Thursday, when the candidates were asked about Obama’s controversial Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which gives amnesty to illegal aliens who arrived in the US as children, Feely appeared to defend the program.

Chaplik responded to the question of “How do you balance the humane behavior there with coming down hard on criminals?” by emphasizing the need to continue strict immigration enforcement. “The criminals, the violent drug dealers, the rapist, the murderers that are in our country, we need to get them out immediately,” he said.

Chaplik continued, “We need to make sure that we have strong workforce labor, but the criteria is American. We do not want anti-American people in this country. It does not help our country. And so, when people come across that border, and they’re chanting ‘Death to America, that’s not the person I want working in the fields, and I don’t want that person working anywhere in this country.”

However, Feely described DACA as “personal to me,” declaring his love for immigrants. He then pointed to his own record of bringing Haitian immigrants into the country.

“We went down to Haiti after the earthquake and started doing programs down there, building homes and churches, and there was a young man who was our translator, and we decided to help him and bring him here legally, got an education visa, put him into college at Grand Canyon University, and gave him an opportunity,” Feely said. He further called for the immigration process to be made “easier” so that more foreigners can come into the country to replace American workers and reshape our culture.

WATCH:

It makes one wonder what his stance is on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian aliens and the Supreme Court allowing the Trump Administration to strip TPS from 350,000 Haitians.

Chaplik on Thursday applauded the Supreme Court for making the “correct ruling this morning against TPS Amnesty.” He further slammed Feely for admitting to working with nonprofits to help smuggle Haitian aliens into the country to receive amnesty. During an appearance on local KTAR’s “Outspoken with Bruce and Gaydos” podcast, Feely openly admitted, “I go and bring those people to those NGOs that are helping them, right? But I believe it should be legally. I have 12 people in the program right now for amnesty to come across from Haiti.”

WATCH:

“Unlike my opponent, Jay Feely, who has actively supported this policy in opposition to the Trump administration and admitted to working with NGOs to bring large numbers of migrants into the country, I will always stand up for American sovereignty and strong borders,” Chaplik said.

I stand with the Trump Administration and am glad to see the Supreme Court make the correct ruling this morning against TPS Amnesty.

Unlike my opponent, Jay Feely, who has actively supported this policy in opposition to the Trump administration and admitted to working with NGOs… https://t.co/9V3pTplLqC

We don’t need any more pro-amnesty Republicans.

Feely has not commented publicly on the Supreme Court ruling or what he thinks should happen to Haitians who are here under the Obama-era TPS.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Feely condemned Trump’s “derogatory” 2024 comments about Haitians eating dogs and cats in Ohio and even defended Haitians eating pets and swans.

“When you go down there in Haiti, and you spend a lot of time, like I have, you understand that when somebody has no food at all, that they’re going to find whatever it is, whether it’s a dog, a cat, anything in Haiti,” he said. “If somebody who did that in Haiti comes here and sees a swan and says, ‘Oh, that might make a good meal,’ Feely continued, awkwardly chuckling while trying to defend the third-world methods taking place in America.
