Senator Eric Schmitt, a U.S. Senator from Missouri, posted several statements on his social media account between September 19 and September 20, 2025. The posts included references to American political thought and comments on immigration policy.

On September 19, Schmitt referenced the fourth president of the United States in a brief post: "James Madison said it best... https://t.co/Rw5QHOF4Ow". Later that day, he published another short message: "Excellent. https://t.co/NAIfFWi20R".

The following day, Schmitt addressed immigration in more direct terms. In a post dated September 20, he wrote: "If you’re not an American citizen, you do not have the right to stay in our country. Period.

If you are inciting violence or agitating for radicalism, you’re going home.

Mass immigration must be met with mass deportations. https://t.co/D6vPxedK1Q".

Senator Schmitt has previously advocated for stricter immigration enforcement and has aligned himself with policies emphasizing border security and deportation measures. His recent remarks come amid ongoing national debates about U.S. immigration law and enforcement practices.
