Reader: I’ve been warned that people don’t read long articles, and this one is long. Let’s see what kind of person you are, dear reader, when we get to the end.
Why are the Democrats putting criminal illegal aliens ahead of Americans?
The opposition will argue that the statement about why some people put criminal aliens ahead of Americans makes no sense to them. To them, it is simply not true, not because of the statement, but because of the premise. They have so bought into the “no person is illegal” argument, and even their “nobody is illegal on stolen land” idiocy that the very question about criminal aliens and the concept of America has become foreign to them. They have established in their minds that anyone who has made their way into North America and South America are Americans, and everyone is a peaceful soul if we just got to know them and ICE has somehow abandoned the law enforcement concept of probable cause…and even if they haven’t abandoned that concept, being in the country illegally is not illegal so there is no probable cause. So, from their point of view, ICE is simply walking around the streets pointing at brown people and saying, “they look like we shouldn’t like them. Get ‘em!”
This is where sanctuary state laws came from. If the federal government is executing unlawful laws because nobody is illegal, then states have every right to refuse to cooperate with immigration law. That’s why recently elected Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger has repealed prior policies directing state and local law enforcement agencies to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) – joining California, Minnesota and a long list of states, cities and other local jurisdictions.
They have so bought into their narrative that nobody is illegal, and nobody is a criminal, that they are even willing to vote against congressional bills mandating the deportation of illegal aliens who are sex offenders. Not because they are trying to protect sex offenders, they will tell you, but because they believe there is no such thing as illegals.
After years of losing confidence by voters over their defund the police campaign, they are now in full swing of calling for the abolition of ICE. Eventually, I have no doubt, they will push for the elimination of immigration laws. No border. No sovereignty. “We Are The World” cultural Marxist madness. Why? They’ve been programmed to think that way, and are happy to do so.
If you ask them directly about their mental madness, they are proud of it. Sean Hannity of Fox News asked Democrat Congressman Shri Thanedar if he regretted voting against the bill to deport illegals convicted of sex crimes, and Shri responded, “No.” He then went on to call ICE agents, “murderers.”
Shri is one of those members of the Democratic Party who have told you that ICE needs to be abolished, they are murderers, they are the Gestapo, and Trump is a murdering racist fascist for daring to use immigration agents to execute immigration law.
Meanwhile, on the streets of America the anti-ICE rioters are not only weaponizing their vehicles, storming into churches, and committing violence on the streets against federal law enforcement, but they are emboldening the criminal illegal aliens to do the same. In Texas, an illegal alien rammed a car into ICE vehicles, injuring multiple agents. The hard-left Democrats are applauding him for it.
The Democrats cheered when the destruction of federal vehicles in Minneapolis was filmed, and an FBI weapons locker was pulled out of a vehicle, and looted. That particular riot broke out after an officer shot one of three illegal aliens who were savagely attacking him after a targeted traffic stop. One of the rioters who broke into the FBI weapons locker was identified as a Latin Kings gang member. A person President Trump would call one of the “worst of the worst.” The suspect, 33 year old Raul Gutierrez, was arrested for stealing from that weapons locker FBI body armor and weaponry. This criminal gang member, who is in the United States illegally, is a danger to our communities and a perfect example as to why President Trump is conducting his immigration operations. The response from the Democrats? Anger. They are angry because federal law enforcement arrested a person who vandalized an FBI vehicle, stole weapons from it, and has a long list of previous felony convictions… because their anger at Trump for enforcing immigration law has them blind to the rest of the reality regarding this person. I am surprised, to be frank, that a federal leftist judge hasn’t called for Gutierrez’s release, yet, like we’ve seen with many other rioters and illegal aliens.
The Democrats want you to believe that ICE is the problem, and that enforcing immigration laws is somehow illegal. Granted, we are seeing here and there pro-immigration enforcement rallies in some places. Americans, I believe, are sick of the radical anti-ICE leftists wreaking havoc in America. Americans are tired of the lies about illegal aliens detained by ICE being spread by the Democrats and the media, and the Democrat Party’s endorsement of left-wing violence in the streets. It’s a bait and switch – they scream their anti-ICE narrative, lie about the facts, and then hide from the public what they don’t want you to know.
But, it’s the same ol’ – same ol’. To protect their narrative you only get to see what they want you to see.
Immigration agents aren’t just walking around out there pointing at anyone they think are illegal aliens or not acceptable because of their skin color and “disappearing” them without probable cause. They are using investigative techniques to identify, locate, and then apprehend the “worst of the worst.” The list of captures includes criminal illegal aliens from a variety of countries who are convicted sex offenders, violent criminals, drug traffickers, and others.
The Democrats and their allies with their propaganda campaigns have even gone so far as to claim that ICE detained a 5-year-old child, calling the targeting of the child “vile.” The lie was exposed quickly when it was revealed the child was abandoned by the illegal alien they were pursuing, and ICE officers remained with the child while the other agents pursued and apprehended Conejo Arias. But, even after the truth was put out there, the leftist media and Democrats continued to put out their false story.
They are also putting out there that ICE is going after citizens, and when ChongLy Scott Thao was escorted by ICE officers they believed they had their smoking gun. Sometimes, citizens will be caught up in the investigations. Thao was at a house where ICE agents were told was the location two sex offenders were hiding out, and they detained Thao to question him and until they were able to verify his identity. Border Czar Tom Homan explained that ICE has the authority to detain a U.S. citizen if they have probable cause of a crime.
The Democrats and their leftist allies, however, praise the “resistance,” and bathe in their approval of the violence of the rioters using their vehicles as weapons and even one individual “biting off the finger of a federal agent in Minneapolis.”
When rioters invaded a church in St. Paul, a leftist judge denied the arrest warrants and have rejected the Justice Department’s charges against the anti-ICE agitators who invaded the church during Sunday service. According to the charging documents, worshippers were “terrorized…children were weeping…one woman broke her arm…agitators blocked congregants from exiting…[and] told young children their parents are Nazis and going to burn in Hell.” And the Democrats are even defending those anti-ICE rioters. For them it was a win-win. They support the rioters, and they hate Christians.
But if you ask any of them why we have these domestic war zones, the Democrats and their allies immediately blame Trump. Mayors are coordinating together to help the war against Trump, and ICE… but nobody sees any of it not only as a violation of federal law, but they refuse to call it what it is: Insurrection.
Hakeem Jefferies, Democratic leader in the House of Representatives, said DHS Secretary Noem needs to be put on ice, permanently. An obvious call for her death. But nobody blinked an eye?
It didn’t phase the Democrats and their lefty followers because in their minds they have bought into all of the rhetoric. They firmly and truly believe they are battling this generation’s version of Hitler, the Nazis, and the Gestapo. In their feeble minds they believe they are resisting the kind of evil that could lead to a world war and the loss of hundreds of millions of lives. They march by the thousands in New York City and Minneapolis and all over the country in support of the unfounded rhetoric that the Democrats use. Why? Because they can’t win in the arena of ideas, and the lies have somehow been transformed into truth somewhere in the deepest darkest depths of their souls. They have been, after all, taught since they first entered public education to believe that anyone who stands against the progressive left is a fascist, oligarch supporting, hateful, racist, white supremacist. In short, they have fallen for the class-warfare tactics of the purveyors of a cultural Marxist revolution. They blindly have fallen for the very thing they claim they are fighting against. They are doing the bidding of those who seek authoritarian rule because they believe they are fighting the ultimate evil of Hitleric authoritarian rule.
So, they celebrate Don Lemon’s insurrectionist attack on a church, of which a judge (or at least the first one) blocked his arrest after the former CNN host participated in the shameful attack on a church while claiming he was simply being a journalist. They fight and claw and protest and commit violent acts because they believe they are saving America from the worst kind of authoritarianism anyone can imagine, and because they believe America is behind them and Hispanics are convinced that Trump is the Devil…except, that is not what is happening.
According to polls not put out by leftist media, Americans not only support Trump’s work to mass deport illegal aliens, but they overwhelmingly support it. 73 Percent say entering the country without legal permission is breaking the law. By a two-to-one margin, 61 percent to 34 percent, voters support deporting those in the country illegally. A majority, 54 percent, want ICE actively enforcing immigration law. 58 percent oppose defunding ICE.
According to a Rasmussen poll, Donald Trump’s approval rating among Hispanics is at 53%.
So, what is going on? Why all of the violence? Don’t they realize they are being stupid, and are on the losing side?
The answer is simply because some Americans have lost their ability to critically think, and instead they glorify immaturity, lack poise, lack self-control, lack grace, and have basically been stuck at age twelve when it comes to their maturity. They have been, after all, trained by education, entertainment and the media to be that way. They are hypersensitive, and believe the Democrats when they say that Trump is Hitler, his supporters are Nazis, and federal law enforcement is the Gestapo.
In other words, they are those that 2 Timothy 3:1-5 describes will be around during “the last days,” explicitly attributing childlike behavior and attitudes to adults. “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.”
As Harbinger’s Daily explains: Society is geared to childish thinking. Social media encourages simple thoughts condensed into short, ad copy style wording. People in our time don’t want detailed, thoughtful reasoning, but drop mic moments. I’m astounded at the praise given to celebrities when they answer critics with the equivalent of, “Oh yeah?” — except with not-safe-for-work language… like 12-year-olds.
There is merit to the idea that 12 has become the median psychological age of a large part of adult America. Those same adults have thrown away childlike innocence, opting instead for Sodom and Gomorrah — life at its lowest level. Consequently, a Lord of the Flies mentality full of savagery and rage is increasing across the land.
As for you, my faithful reader, you are definitely not one of them. I know so because their short attention span and fear of the truth would have never allowed them to completely read this article to its end; but you, my friend, made it to the final sentence because you are not them.
God Bless.

this is just my opinion, with what I have been seeing in people for a long time. We are in the 2nd possibly 3rd generation of people who were brought up in a, “I want this so give it to me” society. People do seem more and more to be acting like a bunch of 12 year olds throwing a tantrum, yet only doing it because it is the “cool” thing to do.
It is sad so many have lost the ability to look at a news statement or what they see on social media and not think, I should research that and see if it is true. I listen to fewer people now, podcasters, than I did 3-4 years ago, it seems many of them just parrot what they hear or are told is the truth. Without doing their diligence of checking out what they hear.
And I really don’t understand how people can hear what an actor or sports figure might say politically and think that persons statements hold any importance. The word says it all, actor, act how the script given them says to “act”.
