If elected, Elizabeth Warren has made so many promises on what she would do on her first day in office that she isn’t going to have time to do anything but spend her day signing executive orders.

Democrat presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren promised a crowd of supporters on Saturday that on her first day in the White House, she would create a commission to investigate “crimes committed by the United States against immigrants.”

In an outrageous, sweeping attack on the people working Border Protection missions during the current Democrat-fueled immigration crisis, Warren made broad-brushed baseless accusations.

“To anyone out there who is working in this system,” Warren said in remarks on Saturday. “Understand, you abuse immigrants, you physically abuse immigrants, you sexually abuse immigrants, you fail to get the medical care that they need, you break the law of the United States of America.”

“And Donald Trump may be willing to look the other way, but President Elizabeth Warren will not,” Warren said. “On my first day, I will empower a commission in the Department of Justice to investigate crimes committed by the United States against immigrants.”

Warren’s comments come days after she revealed an immigration plan as part of her 2020 campaign that would revamp Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, decriminalize illegal border crossings and implement the aforementioned committee to investigate crimes against immigrants.

“I’ll hold immigration enforcement to the same due process standards as other law enforcement agencies — no more warrantless arrests or stops deep in the interior of our country. I’ll reshape CBP and ICE from top to bottom, focusing their efforts on homeland security efforts like screening cargo, identifying counterfeit goods, and preventing smuggling and trafficking. And to change the culture, I’ll insist on transparency and strengthen the authorities of independent internal watchdogs to prevent future abuses,” Warren said in a column posted to Medium that outlined her plan.
