The Left Is Starting to Realize Mass Deportations Are Happening and There's Nothing They Can Do About It

I have no idea why the media or liberal America thought this aspect of immigration policy would remain the same. We have a new president, a new policy, and a new attitude toward immigration enforcement. We’re going to enforce our laws. Criminal aliens are to be deported immediately. Anyone else here illegally is fair game. That’s the deal. There is no cost too great to carry out this national security priority. The best part is that the media and Democrats can’t do anything about it.

All they can do is whine, seethe, and yell in pre-recorded videos. It doesn’t matter if states won’t work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This is a federal undertaking. The entire country is their backyard. ICE has assistance from the US Marshals, Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents who now have deportation powers. Soon, local law enforcement will have the same powers as immigration officers, as Trump invoked this never-been-used statute from the days when the Immigration and Nationalization Service (INS) was operational. However, it’s contingent on a state signing off on this agreement. Most states will agree to it after the legal dust settles.

We have the deportation force. And these illegals cannot hide forever. If schools want to get huffy about it, let them. These agents can and should bulldoze through any school where illegals are being housed. And when the inevitable outrage and tantrums from the left erupt, the response should be, “We don’t care.” We had an election to settle this issue, and your side lost.

The response from the Trump administration has been tremendous, not shying away from the objectives nor playing the media’s games. Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, is on the ground arresting illegals with Dr. Phil. He’s bluntly said that criminal aliens are going, the military deportation flights will continue, and there’s no price too large to pay for securing our border. Vice President JD Vance flatly told Margret Brennan that he didn’t care when some of these Afghan refugees we imported got radicalized vis-à-vis the vetting process. They were plotting terror attacks, like the situation in Oklahoma, and we don’t want these people here.

Yesterday, drug cartels opened fire on law enforcement on the southern border. Enough. The American people wanted a new immigration policy. They want the illegals out. Trump has a mandate and popular support for these actions, which were viewed as extreme a decade ago—no more.

We have federal and local law enforcement empowered to detain and deport illegals, including all the resources and intelligence assets necessary to find those who shouldn’t be here. The fact that so many criminal aliens have been found so quickly proves that Biden’s people knew where these pieces of scum were and allowed them to terrorize our communities.

The end of this invasion starts now. And to the liberals who disagree, you’re weird and wrong. Please sit down, shut up, and let us get our nation back on track.
