Here’s a -really- interesting question, considering all of the terrible news stories we have seen over the last three months- and last three years- related to President Biden’s open borders, and the democrat’s sanctuary cities:
Will democrats keep defending their sanctuary cities laws?
At first blush, you’d think, yes’. Why would they possibly change?
But- the answer to that is: at some point it’s just dumb to keep getting their heads bashed in over and repeatedly...trying to defend an indefensible position.
Look-it was relatively easy to promote their cities as ‘sanctuaries’ for illegals in the Obama and Biden eras, because none of the negative stories related to the violence, depredation, and increased taxpayer burdens the illegals were creating were getting told. The biggest news outlets really were ‘the accomplice media’...in refusing to report the truth or focus on foreigners committing crimes here.
Even in Trump’s first term: he was so universally vilified that-with a very strong anti-trump media wave pushing them along- democrats could rather easily continue to support this sanctuary city nonsense.
But now-in ‘term two- the full scale and the shocking destruction of the democrat’s open borders and overall lawlessness...is no longer being hidden.
Every day, now, Pam Bondi, Tom Homan, Kash Patel, and the entire trump white house team...are detailing the very real horrors and consequences that Biden’s open-borders regime has visited upon this country-and its largest illegal communities.
We get more stories that shock us -every day.
Yesterday....it was a story out of l-a related to three criminal illegals who had beaten a US businessman to death in his own home. Two of them had been waved into the country by Biden. One by Obama.
There was also the story out of New York about a band of little ‘thug’ Tren-de-Aragua members. Literally nine- to twelve-year-olds- who are terrorizing times square and central park.
Juvenile court judges just keep letting them go, over, and over, and over again.
Etc.
Yesterday- there was this bizarre story: did you see that one of the terror suspects who was arrested for trying to bomb the lady gaga concert in Brazil over the weekend...is an illegal who had just been kicked out of this country by the trump team.... after being allowed in here...by Biden’s regime?
What are the odds of that?
He ends up down in Brazil, helping to carry out a terror bombing?
That has nothing to do with America’s sanctuary cities- other than-this is the type of person who the Biden regime was letting into this country, unvetted.
A story that hit closer to home was Pam Bondi, Trump’s attorney general, announcing one of the largest fentanyl busts in u-s history- in Mexico- with six Mexican illegals taken into custody.
Why is a high-ranking member of the Sinaloa cartel living in Oregon...and why is that reported as if it’s no big deal?
This was Joe Biden’s America. It sounds like this is yet another drug operation that the ice agents and federal authorities knew about...but just never went after.
Bondi and Kash Patel pulled together a multi-agency operation and got it done.
And no, Bondi says these six Mexican drug runners will not be sent back to Mexico, no. She wants them locked up here in US prisons...to make sure they’re punished.
There was also the news yesterday of a series of child sex trafficking bust that led to the arrests of over 200 people...and with agents saving about 116 children from that nightmare.
Again- this operation couldn’t have been done under Biden.
We are just three months into the trump term-and every one of these ‘major busts’ that are occurring—seem to have one thing in common. It sounds like our law enforcement agents-knew- these things were going on...but weren’t allowed to act on the information.
Time and again-it sounds like, yes, the local ice agents have known exactly where the dangerous illegals are in their communities...but Biden and Mayorkas’s regime- literally did not allow them to go after these people.
So- my god- Biden and Mayorkas are making Trump, and his team look good now, aren’t they?All Homan and Noem and Bondi had to do was...get into the office...and ask the local ice leaders: where do you want to focus first?
Well-we’ve got cartel number one...living here...and we’ve got five ms-13 thugs living here...and we’ve been watching this illegal fentanyl operation going on right under our noses.
And all this ugliness and crime and horror that the Biden regime and the democrats have been hiding from the American people -for years- is suddenly coming out.
So-back to the question i asked at the start of the segment: will democrats keep defending their idiotic sanctuary cities....and their idiotic instructions on ‘how to fight ice’?
How much longer can they keep this up...I wonder.
As one piece today correctly frames this: most democrats are still digging in- like tony Evers-
But at least some blue state and blue city dems are starting to question the wisdom of their foolish position on this.
So far- at least when it comes to the ‘big cities’- only New York’s Mayor, Eric Adams, has really questioned the logic of the city’s sanctuary city laws...and vowed to at least cooperate with ice when it comes to getting the criminals out of his city.
You’d think that that would be a reasonable position for every city and governor to take regardless of political party: let’s at least remove the criminals and thugs from our community...
But nope. Not if they are illegal aliens.
It’s almost like illegal criminals are being given a ‘special status’ in our courts...so long as liberal prosecutors and judges are assigned to the case.
In most of these larger cities, the judges and prosecutors are-literally-going softer on the criminals who are illegal aliens.... than the ones who are American citizens.
How did the dems ever arrive at this position?
And will they do anything to pivot and correct it?
How long will they continue to defend the crime and lawlessness being created in their own communities by illegal aliens? People who shouldn’t even be here.
It’s an important question- and their answer to it could be a deciding factor in whether democrat candidates will have more success next fall than they did- last fall.
It’s natural that-at some point in 2025 here- the relentless and daily focus on illegal alien crime and the numbers of illegal criminals who trump is deporting will ebb.
People and news outlets have lost interest. But thanks to Obama and Biden’s open borders- Homan, Patel, Bondi, and Noem have a nearly endless supply of horror stories that they can detail for the American people over the next two years...as they look like heroes.... finally arresting and deporting these thugs.
And for two years?Dems and their media accomplices are going to keep defending and crying over the criminals?
Okay.
I don’t know about you, but I’m okay with that. Because they are making themselves look like asses as they do it.
Folks- this week- Miranda Devine reported in the NY Post- a paper that is widely read in that ‘sanctuary city’ -that a newly released u-s intelligence assessment shows Nicholas maduro and some of his Venezuelan government officials are- genuinely- coordinating with Tren de Aragua illegals whom they helped transport here to America.
President trump hasn’t been exaggerating: maduro has been emptying out his prisons and sending his country’s most dangerous criminals here- to cause mayhem and -hopefully- destabilize this country.
At some point, every American needs to ask themselves- just how dumb are the leaders of today’s democrat party?
Really?
And why would I possibly support them?
