An “illegal immigrant” is not an immigrant. He is a criminal, and should be treated as a lawbreaker and dealt with by the criminal justice system. The conflation of immigration into America, which used to be of tremendous benefit to us as a nation, with criminals crashing the open border as part of the deeply evil “Great Replacement,” is part and parcel of the progressive destruction of our language.
We don’t call bank robbers “undocumented withdrawers.” We don’t call rape “pre-permission intercourse.” So calling these wetback criminals anything other than lawbreakers is a manipulation of the truth and an obvious attempt to create acceptance and sympathy for people who broke into our country for only a few reasons, none of which are legal, and all of which are tremendously damaging to our future as a republic.
Illegal immigrants in NYC protest Trump victory, proposed mass deportation plans
Among the marchers were illegal migrants from Ecuador and Peru, who held a sign declaring, “No to the anti-immigrant laws, no to deportations,” video from TPUSA’s Frontlines showed. This comes as Trump has repeatedly said that if elected he would carry out a mass deportation program to remove individuals who are in the US illegally.
Of course these criminals are the useful idiots of the hard left, as the signs held by many in that protest signal. “End Fossil Fuels?” “Socialism Beats Fascism?” Oh, that IMA sign? That’s the International Migrants Alliance. Here’s a quotation from their website:
Migrants refuse to shoulder the economic crisis brought on by imperialism and its neoliberal schemes so we call on migrants to take action, Migrants, PUEDE!
It is nothing more than world socialism’s subterfuge to destroy America. Does that sound histrionic? Tough.
If Donald Trump is serious about deportation of these criminals, the process must be multi-faceted…criminalizing the employers who turn a blind eye (meat packing anyone?), and the cities and states that actively interfere with federal law enforcement. If New York state doesn’t want to participate in upholding immigration law, that’s fine. The federal government can cut funding for all policing in NY. I wonder how much money the various state and city law enforcement agencies get from the federal government?
And a simple law passed by Congress will go a long way toward self-deportation: A $1,000/day/worker fine levied against any business that employs illegals. There are systems in place to verify employment status. If they don’t work well, then improve them! I’ll bet Elon Musk might be able to help!
Driver’s licenses for criminal trespassers in America? I don’t think so. Take away highway funds from every state that gives licenses to illegals. Remember how the federal government strong-armed the states over the 55mph speed limit and the drinking age? What goes around comes around!
The point is that forced deportation is not the only way to accomplish the goal. In fact, I’ll bet that deportation will be a small part of the effort, and these criminals will rapidly get the message that their free lunch is no longer available.
But all of this is predicated on Donald Trump and his administration forcing the issue. Half measures, like the window dressing of the Obama/Biden junta, is easily avoided, and in fact there are government-funded NGOs that assist in evading the current lax enforcement. If his commitment to border security and the rule of law is not backed up by constant surveillance and political push, then it will fail.
Great piece, CBD.
They’re being emboldened by Congress. It’s not acting towards “Checks and Balances” but change. Radical change of the nation.
Aside from permissible visitors and/or students, the general populations of Ecuador or Peru have not been granted TPS by the USA, nor are they on priority ‘refugee’ listings. However, there is now H.R. 7371, By the House, To designate Ecuador under section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to permit nationals of Ecuador to be eligible for temporary protected status under such section, and for other purposes.Introduced in House (02/15/2024)
And so, and of course, now the Peruvians join in protest with every other malcontent group in the nation.
What is ‘ours?’ How can we be safe and housed and our kids adequately educated for the future? What are the traditions we may still hold that do not enrage or ‘dis’ half the country? Thanksgiving? Rapidly fading, almost forgotten. Christmas? Only permitted to boost selling things and because the traditionalists are still being encouraged to give ’til it hurts, often to provide for the undocumented &/or unhoused, though our poor, our elderly are hanging on by their fingers.
Hanukkah? Oh, no! Not the Jews, and not a holiday coinciding with Christmas! It’ll be more than they can tolerate. And, they can’t allow peace & celebration.
Laws MUST be upheld. They’re are plenty on the books. Can the country commit to uniform border security? Can it still run honest legal refugee programs or legal workers’ programs? (No paybacks for the rich; no exceptions for certain relatives; don’t let Dept. of Labor determine Visa statuses; finally make ALL employers utilize E-Verify, etc.)
It has to. We’re out of time, i.e., Arab News, November 15, 2024: ‘US urges vigilance on Chinese investment as Xi opens Peru port’ Reuters
– The $3.5-billion complex is a symbol of the Asian superpower’s growing influence on the continent as it prepares to face off with a new Donald Trump administration.
– China’s President Xi vowed in his speech to “promote connectivity” between China and South America.
And “they” have planned for it & timed it for now, with a new, incoming administration soon.
All, imo. thanks
“There are” v. They’re are plenty on the books.
