Trump Drops A Major Truth Bomb About Democrats And Illegal Immigration

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump invigorated conservatives on Wednesday night during a Keep America Great rally in Greenville, North Carolina. One of the points he made was about Democrats’ stance on illegal immigration, something that has upset the conservative base.

“Democrats have put the needs of foreign citizens far ahead of our own citizens. Nowhere in this world is there anything like what’s happening with immigration, with how bad it is, the Democrats’ open border policies deplete our public services, overcrowd our schools and hospitals and bring crime, drugs and deadly gangs into our community. The Democrats want to spend more money on health care for an illegal immigrant than they do for a citizen of the United States,” Trump told a crowd that booed in response.

He reminded rally goers of one important tidbit: a couple days ago, the Department of Justice charged 22 MS-13 gang members. They’ve been in the country, committing crimes for at least the last 10 years.

“These are sick people. When I call them animals, Nancy Pelosi said, ‘how dare he use that name? These are human beings.’ I don’t think they’re human beings,” he reiterated.

“Most of the people who were indicted were in our country illegally. 19 to be exact,” he said.

Poll Reveals How Americans ACTUALLY Feel About ICE Raids

/0 Comments/in , /by

According to a new poll, a majority of Americans favor the idea of Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids to arrest and deport illegal immigrants who have outstanding deportation court orders.

A Morning Consult poll found that 51% of respondents, including almost half of independent voters (46%), liked the idea. The survey, which was conducted between July 12-14, found nearly two-thirds of Republicans “strongly” supporting the raids.

Morning Consult reported, “About a third (34 percent) of voters said they heard ‘a lot’ about the raids, including 39 percent of Democrats, 32 percent of Republicans and 30 percent of independents.” . . .

Before the raids conducted by ICE last Sunday, ICE spokesman Matthew D. Bourke stated, “As always, ICE prioritizes the arrest and removal of unlawfully present aliens who pose a threat to national security, public safety and border security. However, all of those in violation of the immigration laws may be subject to immigration arrest, detention and — if found removable by final order — removal from the United States.”

On June 17, President Trump had stated that the raids would be forthcoming, tweeting, “Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States. They will be removed as fast as they come in. Mexico, using their strong immigration laws, is doing a very good job of stopping people long before they get to our Southern Border. Guatemala is getting ready to sign a Safe-Third Agreement. The only ones who won’t do anything are the Democrats in Congress. They must vote to get rid of the loopholes, and fix asylum! If so, Border Crisis will end quickly!

Assaults Against Border Agents Rising; Few Attackers Are Prosecuted

/0 Comments/in , /by

While Republicans trip over themselves to condemn President Trump’s tweets attacking Hamas supporter Ilhan Omar, they continue to do nothing for victims of illegal immigration or for law enforcement. The more they allow Democrats to focus on the needs of illegal aliens rather than those of Americans, the more border agents are being assaulted without any response from our government. Very few illegal aliens are being prosecuted for anything, including assaulting border agents.

What is the message being sent to the cartels and illegal aliens? That they are now a protected class here and we will do nothing to counter their behavior. Sergio Tinoco, a supervisor border agent in the Rio Grande Valley, tells me that agents patrolling the river are getting attacked with rocks as the smugglers become emboldened by the lack of response or prosecutions.

“I work in the area in south Texas where of course we have the Rio Grande River as our actual border,” said Tinoco on my podcast last Thursday. “We have a riverine unit, a boat crew that patrols up and down the river. Mind you, the border is directly somewhere in the center or quasi-center of that river, so we ourselves and our agents cannot engage with anyone on the Mexican riverbank. We just can’t. Our rules of engagement do not allow that. The cartels know this; the smugglers know this. And of course, there’s a lot of high brush here in south Texas, and daily, we have smugglers, we have coyotes that will throw rocks at our riverine crews, at our agents, do everything they possibly can to harm them and to hurt them because they want them out of the area so that they can either bring their illicit drugs through or they can bring in the illegal immigrants across the river.”

You read that correctly. Belligerent terrorist groups that the State Department refuses to designate as such can now throw rocks at our agents knowing that it will cause them to retreat in our own territory, thereby allowing them to get in their human and drug contraband. They are certain we will not retaliate.

Agent Tinoco says they are left with few options. They must either retreat or try to
“pepper them with some type of CS gas pellets” and hope they will disperse. “This is a dangerous task that we encounter every single day.”

Tinoco also told me that not enough of these people are being prosecuted. “If any of us is assaulted, we would want that individual to be punished. I’m sure that if a citizen in … another part of America … I’m sure that if that individual was assaulted, everybody in that community would be seeking justice. And that’s all our agents … that’s all we ask for. We ask for the exact same thing that any other citizen that we’re protecting would ask for, and sadly we don’t get that as often as we would like. “

Tinoco noted that this is what “lends to the downfall of our morality where eventually you’ll start hearing agents say, ‘Why even report this to someone? Nothing’s going to happen.’ And that’s a very bad situation to be in because you want to still encourage our agents to report everything.”

Jaeson Jones, retired captain of the Texas Rangers’ Border Security Operations Center (BSOC) , told me that border agents are often told to go to Texas authorities to push for prosecutions because the feds won’t take the cases. “Today, it is routine to see state charges filed in border-related cases not taken by the feds – everything from pursuits, assaults, aggravated assaults, and smuggling charges etc.”

Jones recalled an incident in south Texas involving a Border Patrol agent who had been assaulted by an illegal alien during an apprehension. The agent was injured, yet federal prosecutors didn’t take the case. “The Texas Ranger captain who was commanding the one-week joint border mission learned of this assault and was incredulous, “What do mean they won’t accept charges?” he asked loudly with clear anger in his voice. When he heard the news from the supervising agent assigned to the command post, the captain turned to his lieutenant and said go find out if one of our men has been injured, then that suspect is going to jail … do you understand? Within a few hours, the suspect was booked into the Hidalgo County, Texas, jail for assault on a police officer.”

It turns out, according to CBP data, that assaults on CBP personnel have roughly doubled over the past two fiscal years relative to the previous few years. Yet, surprisingly, the use of force against illegal aliens is down. Those two stats are no coincidence, according to one agent in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley who must remain anonymous because he’s not authorized to speak to the media.

“The cartel scouts are telling the illegal immigrants to fight us. If they win, great, they get away or enable others in the area to get away. If they lose, they claim excessive use of force. I was just recently attacked by a Salvadoran couple at the river as part of a group of several dozen who got away while they tussled with me. My military and jujitsu training kicked in and I overpowered them, but I sustained minor injuries to my face. In this case, they were charged, but only received time served. They do not fear prosecution, and they know we have weak rules of engagement. If you don’t know how to fight hand-to-hand, you are out of luck.”

Indeed, the entire impetus for this border crisis was when the politicians and media supplanted the rule of law with virtue-signaling to ensure that illegal aliens are exempted from prosecution because they will be separated from their children, even though in many cases, they children are not theirs.

There might be no consequences for illegal aliens and their smugglers invading our border. But the American people and the border agents are feeling all of the consequences. (For more from the author of “Assaults Against Border Agents Rising; Few Attackers Are Prosecuted” please click HERE)

19 of 22 Indicted for Ultra-Violent MS-13 Murders Are Illegal Aliens from Central America

/0 Comments/in , /by

When James Madison said the jobs of the federal government were “few and defined,” applied “principally on external objects,” he was referring to exactly what has been brought into California from Central America. Yesterday, in what should be the biggest new story of the day, California and federal law enforcement wrapped up an MS-13 task force investigation, completing the indictment of 22 MS-13 members from a particularly brutal cell responsible for numerous gruesome murders. The operation began last year with the arrest of 18 members of MS-13’s “Fulton clique,” culminating with the arrest of the final four in recent days, according to the 78-page indictment.

Some of the 22 were charged with killing four people in the Angeles National Forest, one in the Malibu hills, and a homeless man in North Hollywood over the past two years. The victims were beaten to death in the worst way imaginable by a gang culture we have now imported with illegal immigration. According to the U.S. attorney’s office, 19 of the 22 members came here illegally over the past few years from El Salvador and Honduras.

Thus, when you see “children” at the border being resettled into this country, just remember that a large number of them are gang members or vulnerable to joining violent gangs. As U.S. attorney Nick Hanna is quoted in the Los Angeles Times, “We’re seeing an influx of younger gang members coming into the area associating themselves with the Fulton clique who are extremely violent, who have to commit murders to join the clique.”

Claude Arnold, who once ran the Los Angeles field office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), was quoted as saying, “These are newer entrants, so they’re making their bones with the gang, it’s just how it is. They want to make a name for themselves, and those are the people who are generally the most violent members of street gangs.”

According to the indictment, these people were “required to kill an MS-13 rival or someone perceived to be adverse to MS-13 to be initiated into MS-13.”

Remember when now-acting Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan said that when he looked at many of these Central American teens when touring detention facilities as Border Patrol Chief, he saw future gang members? He made those comments to CR first in March and then in testimony before the Senate Homeland Security Committee in April. The media went crazy over them, calling him a racist. But he’s correct. Indeed, as Thomas Homan said, “a gang operation in NY last year entitled Operation Matador, which targeted MS-13 gang members, showed that approximately 40 percent of those arrested illegally entered the U.S. as part of a family unit or as a UAC. Many that entered the U.S. were already gang members or soon became gang members after arriving in the U.S.”

Paul Delacourt, the assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles field office, described the murders as “medieval-style.” One victim was “dismembered, and his body parts were thrown into a canyon after one of the defendants allegedly cut the heart out of the victim’s body,” according to DOJ. This is the price the American people have to pay when our government ignores our laws mandating the denial of entry to people like this.

The 22 defendants are: German Hernandez, Angel Guzman, Ever Morales, Fernando Parada, Jose Baquiax Alvarez, Kevin Gomez, Kevin Arteaga, Edgar Velasquez, Walter Chavez Larin, Yefri Revelo, Wilfredo Vides, Gerardo Alvarado, Roberto Carlos Mendez Cruz, Bryan Alberto Ordones, Roberto Alejandro Corado Ortiz, Edwin Issac Mendez, Josue Balmore Flores Castro, Luis Arturo Gonzalez, Edwin Martinez, Steven Emmanuel Linares, Marco Antonio Ramos, and Erick Eduardo Rosales Arias.

While most of the victims were rival gang members who were here illegally, the homeless man was killed for merely being in a park “controlled” by the gang. Others murdered were “perceived to be cooperating with law enforcement,” according to the Justice Department.

One other point is in order: There is a bipartisan movement suggesting that too many people sit in federal prison for too long on bogus or low-level charges. What I have proven many times throughout the debate on the “First Step Act,” which offers early release to many federal prisoners, is that the type of people federal prosecutors pursue on drug or racketeering charges are often the worst transnational gang or cartel murderers. It’s just that it’s so hard to land a conviction that they often arrange a plea deal.

These individuals in this case are all charged with racketeering in the process of drug trafficking. Some were charged with murder, but not all. There are two under-seal cases pending against juvenile defendants, where the charges are still not public.

In five years from now, expect agitation groups and even “conservative” senators to use some of these “youngsters” as poster children for people being sentenced too long for low-level crimes. That is what they are doing now, but this is a glimpse into the front end of how many wind up with long sentences on charges of racketeering or drugs. Usually, that is not why the feds pursued them to begin with, but we only hear about the technical conviction and not the story behind it.

Congress and many in the executive branch have no interest in fighting for the American people and shutting off the flow of illegal immigrants from Central America. The only legislation they have successfully passed is a bill to cut the sentences of brutal criminals like these MS-13 animals.

Good Luck With That: Dems Bring Forward Articles of Impeachment Against Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By PJ Media. The latest move from the Democrats’ secret campaign to help reelect Trump came Tuesday evening, first with the absurd vote to condemn President Trump for “racist” comments made against anti-Semitic and anti-American congressmwomen. But, for Texas congressman Al Green, that wasn’t enough. Green has been aggressively pushing for impeachment; on Monday he promised during a Facebook Live press conference to force an impeachment vote.

“I’m here to indicate to the world that to tolerate bigotry is to perpetuate bigotry, especially when you can do something about it […] I’m a member of the House of Representatives, and I as a member can do something about it,” Green said. “Each member of the House of Representatives can bring articles of impeachment to the floor of the House of Representatives. I’m here today to tell you, again, to bring articles of impeachment to the floor of the House of Representatives. I will do so by the end of this month.”

Well, apparently he was more anxious to move on with it because he didn’t wait for the end of the month. He made his third attempt at forcing a vote on impeachment the following evening after the House passed the resolution condemning Trump.

House Democrat Will Defy Party Leaders and File Articles of Impeachment Against Trump

By Townhall. It has been a day of chaos on the Hill. House Democrats brought forward a resolution condemning President Trump for his tweets targeting Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashid Tlaib (D-MI), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) for their arguably anti-American views and their left-wing agenda that will destroy the country. This crew has peddled anti-Semitism, refused to condemn Antifa violence, and trivialized the 9/11 attacks. And they defend each other when they get caught dabbling in such antics as well. These four are the Marxist Girl Scout Troop from the seventh circle of hell. Pelosi condemned the tweets, as did the Democrat-media complex, as racist and said so on the House floor. House Republicans objected noting that this declaration may have violated the rules and asked that it be edited or stricken from the record. In a party-line vote, House Democrats overrode the rules and the GOP objections.

As this bonfire gets going, Rep. Al Green (D-TX) said he would bring forward articles of impeachment against Donald Trump, defying the House Democratic leadership who knows the perilous nature of this route should a single thing go wrong and there are more than a few ways where this move can go off the hinges. Green has attempted to bring forward such articles before and he pretty much gave the game away as to why he’s doing this: he’s afraid of Trump being re-elected (via WaPo):

Rep. Al Green will file articles of impeachment against President Trump on Tuesday night, triggering a contentious vote in the coming days to confront an issue that has bitterly divided the Democratic Party.

The Texas congressman, who notified Democratic leaders of his decision on Tuesday, said the House must impeach Trump for racist remarks suggesting four minority congresswoman “go back” to their ancestral countries as well as other comments made in the past. The four Democrats — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Ayanna Pressley (Mass.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) — are all citizens; three were born in the United States.

Rick Perry: Now That Ross Perot Is Gone, I Can Tell This Story

/0 Comments/in , , /by

This week, the nation remembers Ross Perot for his success in business, his two independent White House bids and his no-nonsense, straight Texas talk. His love of country, larger-than-life personality and generosity are all part of his legacy that will live on. But there is another little-known part of the life of Ross Perot that should be told now that he is gone. He was a tireless, but private, supporter of our wounded veterans.

During my time as governor of this great state, I had the honor and privilege of knowing countless warriors who stepped forward to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan and returned home with horrific wounds of war. U.S. Army Cpl. Alan Babin Jr. is one such hero. . .

On the one-year anniversary of his wounding, I joined Alan and his family for a small gathering. He was still in very bad shape, neurologically and physically incapacitated. When I asked his mother, Rosie, what I could do to help, she said she was eager to get him out of the hospital and back home, but struggling with the prospect of transporting Alan to his many medical visits.

I knew there was one person to call: Ross Perot. What happened next still amazes me to this day. The next morning, Ross personally called Rosie and made arrangements for his plane to pick up the Babins in Austin and fly them to Dallas where Alan could be seen by leading neurologists at Zale Lipshy University Hospital.

When the hospital elevators opened, Ross was standing there to meet Alan personally and ensure that he got the best of care. Later that day, Rosie was handed a key to a hotel room across the street so she could be close to Alan throughout his extended stay.

GOP Governor Who ‘Vanished for Sex’ May Run Against Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Mark Sanford, the former governor of South Carolina who once vanished without word to his office or family for nearly a week, is considering a primary challenge to President Trump.

His explanation for his 2009 vanishing act was that he was hiking the Appalachian trail. But it turned out he had secretly flown to Brazil to spend six days with his mistress.

The Post and Courier of Charleston, South Carolina, reports Sanford said “he will take the next month to formulate whether he will mount a potential run against Trump.”

He said a run for president would be “a way of pushing a national debate about America’s mounting debt, deficit and government spending.”

Sanford retired from Congress last year. He previously served as governor of South Carolina and was popular among Republicans nationally. (Read more from “GOP Governor Who ‘Vanished for Sex’ May Run Against Trump” HERE)

Democrats Find Nancy Pelosi Broke House Rules by Calling Trump ‘Racist’

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was found to have broken the rules of the U.S. House of Representatives by calling President Donald Trump “racist” on the floor Tuesday, but Democrats voted to keep her remarks in the record and restore her speaking privileges.

Pelosi had delivered a statement calling the president racist as a prelude to voting on a House resolution to that effect. Rep. Chris Collins (R-GA) raised a point of order, objecting that Pelosi’s statement was a violation of House rules. . .

McConnell Surrenders the Most Important Budget Fight of Trump’s Presidency Before It Begins

/0 Comments/in , /by

The upcoming September budget fight is everything. It will determine whether under Trump’s presidency we will even return to Obama levels of illegal immigration and debt or whether it will be much worse. It’s that simple. Yet Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is pre-emptively surrendering the fight on both issues before it even begins, as he has done with every budget battle even when Republicans controlled the House.

Despite the president’s promise in his budget blueprint to hold the line on the spending caps and not increase spending yet again, the Washington Post reported that Mitch McConnell convinced the president that “no politician had ever lost office for spending more money.” According to two of the Post’s sources, McConnell delivered that message to the president in June. McConnell wants to join with Democrats in increasing the spending caps.

I wrote last month about McConnell chewing out Trump’s budget chief over the spending caps. Now it is clear that McConnell wants to blow up Trump’s final remaining leverage point. Both national security conservatism and fiscal conservatism are dead as a doorknob in the GOP-controlled Senate, and there is no sign that will change with the upcoming election.

Let’s review how we got here.

After refusing to fight on a single budget or debt ceiling when Republicans held trifecta control of government, Trump finally fought his way to a standstill in the beginning of this year. The budget bill Trump signed in February and the subsequent supplement bills were supposed to be Trump’s leverage point to go on offense on the border issue, change policies incentivizing the invasion, and fund more detention space and deportations for ICE.

Yet instead, Republicans allowed Democrats to move the Overton window of expectations and shift the landscape of the political debate far to the left. The February budget bill included a bar on building a border wall in the most critical cartel smuggling corridors, a provision inviting illegal immigrants to get amnesty in return for sponsoring more illegal aliens, and limiting, instead of expanding, ICE detention space.

Then Republicans completely surrendered on the disaster aid bill. Next, they requested a border bill from Democrats that had no funding for enforcement, detention space, or deportations and only had funding for humanitarian aid for illegal immigrants, refugee resettlement for self-trafficked Central American teens, and legal aid so they can sue for more extra-constitutional rights. Democrats moved the Overton window even further to the Left by having their House leaders balk at the bill and propose an even more radical bill that would have gone backwards on the border and would have essentially shut down a large amount of immigration enforcement through new policy changes.

Ultimately, Democrats knew the House bill would never pass, but because Republicans started negotiations with the Senate bill that was, in some ways, worse than current law, they allowed Democrats to both look like they were giving in but also moving expectations further to the Left.

This is where we stand with the September budget bill. Let’s face it: There is no way the White House aides will allow the president to engage in a budget fight right before next year’s election. So this is the last chance for him to enact his priorities or expose the Democrats for their extremism. But Democrats are beginning negotiations by setting their goalpost for the budget with their original House bill. They are also demanding a busting of the budget cap and a free extension of the debt limit. Republicans already agree on the two latter points.

This will allow Democrats to once again win everything they want on immigration and spending, while also showing how they “gave ground” by not responding to the border crisis with even more limitation on deportations than current law.

Illegal immigration is more than double the levels of Obama’s final year, and spending is 18 percent higher. The budget bill is Trump’s final opportunity to fight on both. If Republicans plan to surrender on spending and the debt ceiling, at least use that as a bargaining chip to get more ICE funding. After all, if we are going to bankrupt ourselves on Democrat welfare programs, at least spend more money on getting rid of criminal aliens so we don’t have to pay for their lifetimes of trouble as well.

What are we left with if Trump does not fight for us, beginning now, for the September budget bill? The deficit has grown 23 percent in the first nine months of this fiscal year, even though revenue is up three percent. The government has now spent more money this fiscal year (to date) than even in 2009, when we were suffering from the worst recession in decades.

If McConnell is allowed to convince Trump to throw away his presidency with this budget bill, we will be left with nothing but debt and illegal immigration. And the American taxpayer paying for both.

ICE as the Guard Against Dangerous Drunk Driving

/0 Comments/in , /by

It is not too much to ask that any illegal alien caught driving drunk be deported.

Those driving around drunk with thousands of pounds of steel, whether American or foreign national, pose a serious public safety threat. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an estimated 10,874 people were killed in 2017 in drunk driving crashes. Very few drunk drivers, including repeat offenders in many states, receive a meaningful punishment and are deterred. But when the offenders are foreign nationals, given that drunk driving is a frequently repeated offense, every subsequent offense, which could potentially kill other motorists and pedestrians, is 100 percent avoidable. Why should they remain in the country? But that is exactly what happens, thanks to sanctuary cities.

Which brings us to the case of Betsaida Sunem Moreno-Manriquez. The NBC affiliate in Portland, Oregon, wrote a puff piece on her as a “Cornelius mom” being deported by the big bad ICE guys, even though she was brought here when she was one year old. However, she is also a repeat-offender drunk driver.

According to a regional spokeswoman for ICE, Betsaida Sunem Moreno-Manriquez, a Mexican national who is here illegally, “pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of intoxicants” on August 20, 2015. So why is she still in the country?

“On April 6, 2016, Moreno-Manriquez reported to the Portland U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office where she was arrested and transported to the Northwest Detention Center (NWDC) in Tacoma, Washington. On May 5, 2016, Moreno-Manriquez posted bond and was released from custody. On April 13, 2017, she failed to appear for her scheduled immigration court appearance and was ordered remov[ed] in absentia by an immigration judge.”

All too often, criminal aliens are allowed to remain in the country because they fail to appear for court dates and are released on bond. But it gets worse.

According to ICE, “On Aug. 4, 2018, Moreno-Manriquez was arrested by the Forest Grove Police Department on various local charges. Following that arrest, Moreno-Manriquez failed to appear at her scheduled court appearance for those charges and a warrant was issued for her arrest.” According to Washington County, Oregon, court records, Moreno-Manriquez was charged with giving false information to police and driving without a license. The bench warrant for her arrest was issued August 16, 2018.

Every day this woman remains in the country, she is a ticking time bomb. Yet because she is protected by Oregon’s sanctuary policies, ICE had to go find her on its own. According to the ICE spokeswoman, “On July 9, 2019, Morena-Manriquez was arrested by ICE in Hillsboro, Oregon, and is currently being held at the NWDC pending her removal to Mexico.”

The local NBC article quotes open-borders activists talking about second chances for DUIs and downplaying the severity of the crime. They make constant reference to separation of families, which has become the new political human shield against enforcing the laws against illegal aliens, even those who pose a danger to the country. Now they are trying to shame ICE into cancelling the deportation.

Pueblo Unido raises money and pays to send attorneys to Tacoma for consultation appointments with detainees facing deportation on a regular basis.

“How many people do you know who had a DUI who got a chance to get diversion and move on with their lives? And then how many were permanently separated from their families?” Pueblo Unido Executive Director and Founder Cameron Coval asked. “She’s right now fighting for her freedom and the opportunity to stay in this country with her children.”

But what about the Americans who are permanently separated from their children in the grave due to the daily DUI manslaughters by illegal aliens driving drunk? Just in one year of apprehensions with very limited resources, ICE arrested a pool of aliens who together racked up 80,730 DUIs, not including over 76,000 other driving offenses.

These stories go untold every day, as was the story of one mother, Aileen Smith, who related on my podcast last year her tragedy of losing her unborn child in an illegal alien drunk driving wreck. The illegal alien driver was arrested eight times for DUI and was never turned over to ICE, thanks to sanctuary policies in New Mexico. Aileen related how, unlike criminal aliens who get endless pro bono legal help and PR from open border groups, she was left with nothing and nobody to help her.

In June, Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, a criminal alien with a history of drug and driving violations who was allowed to remain in the country, went on to kill seven bikers in New Hampshire with his truck.

When the media shows you harrowing images of moms being arrested and “separated from their kids,” what they don’t show you is their decision to drive drunk and risk the lives of Americans. We have the ability to remove them before they can continue their frequently uncontrolled habit.

This case in Oregon is a perfect example of what ICE is up against. There are people who have been given due process over and over again, yet they chose to further break the law and not show up in court. Then when ICE decides to deport them, opponents act as if these people are angels and just committed low-level offenses. But the reality is that while we can’t choose our natural-born citizens and are stuck with what we get, we can choose our immigrants. And there are many wonderful immigrants who will never get arrested or drive drunk. Why do we need any criminal aliens in our country?

A sane GOP Senate would stay in session through the August recess and pass bills like the old Scott Gardner Act (H.R. 3808), sponsored by former Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., which would mandate that ICE apprehend all illegal aliens arrested for drunk driving.
