Brian Kemp, a Republican candidate for governor in Georgia, promised to “round up criminal illegals” in his pick-up truck and deport them himself if elected to the highest office in the state this November.
“I’m so conservative, I blow up government spending,” Kemp said in a campaign video released Wednesday, as something detonates in a field behind him.
“I own guns that no one’s taking away,” Kemp says as he locks and loads his rifle. “My chainsaw’s ready to rip up some regulations.”
Sitting inside his pick-up truck, Kemp adds, “I got a big truck just in case I need to round up criminal illegals and take ’em home myself. Yep, I just said that.”

Kemp, who announced his campaign last summer, has branded himself as a “politically incorrect conservative.”
He is running against six other GOP candidates for the party’s nomination to replace Gov. Nathan Deal, R-Ga.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an agency within the Department of Homeland Security, oversees interior immigration enforcement operations, including the deportation of individuals. Those who are deported go through official removal proceedings before being deemed candidates for deportation.
While a candidate in 2016, President Trump vowed to deport criminal aliens on his first day in office.
