California gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner expressed her firm stake on the immigration issues as she endorses the border wall that was pushed by the previous administration. Jenner's rhetoric happened during an interview with Fox News.

On April 23, Caitlyn Jenner announced on her Twitter account that she will run for governor in the state of California, saying that "California is worth fighting for." Moreover, Jenner added that she is "the only outsider who can put an end to the disastrous leadership" of Governor Gavin Newsom.

Caitlyn Jenner's Take on the Border Wall and Immigration

In an interview with Sean Hannity, Jenner expressed that she is "all for the wall," adding that she will secure the wall, New York Post reported. "We can't have a country without a secure wall," said Jenner during the interview.

When asked about immigration, Jenner noted that the United States is a compassionate country, as well as the state of California. Despite sharing her sympathy toward illegal immigrants, the gubernatorial candidate noted that some migrants must be sent back, and there is no question about that.

"I have met some of the greatest immigrants into our country," said Jenner during the interview.

Caitlyn Jenner's comment on immigration follows the DHS's release of photos of an almost empty migrant facility. It can be remembered that White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has shared that the CBP is expediting the processing rate of unaccompanied migrant children.

Jenner also expressed that she would do her best to "scrap" the sanctuary laws of the state intended for illegal immigrants. She said that she would keep California a sanctuary state for small businesses.

"I want small businesses to come into the state, you know. I want people to create wealthier, I want them to employ people," said Jenner. Jenner emphasized that she does not support immigration in the state because a lot of money will be needed for a "fair and equitable immigration system."

However, Caitlyn Jenner also acknowledged that scrapping the sanctuary laws for illegal immigrants in California will not be easy. "I am pro-law enforcement, I am pro-border protection," said Jenner.

Caitlyn Jenner and Other Issues

Apart from the border wall and immigration, Jenner also expressed her stand on defunding the police. The U.S. Sun reported that Jenner slammed Newsom and other prominent Democrats who are supporting the movement.

"I support the Police 100 percent. I support the National Guard," said Jenner adding that she also supports business owners in L.A. and other parts of the country. Jenner described "defund the police" as a "stupid idea."

Recently, Jenner has expressed her opposition to transgender athletes who were born male to compete in a girls' sport.

Jenner said in Fox News that fairness is the issue in her argument that biological boys should not be in girls' sport. However, Governor Gavin Newsom expressed his support to the community as his spokesperson underscored the equal protection clause in the fourteenth amendment.
