There is no greater love than this: The Democrat-Left’s blistering passion for illegal aliens, even those with yards-long rap sheets choked with violent crimes.
President Donald Trump is busy keeping his solemn promise to the American people: Mass deportation of illegal aliens, starting with “the worst first.” He has placed dangerous thugs at the head of a reverse invasion across the border that an estimated 10 million breached during President Joe Biden’s mercifully concluded tenure.
Democrat-Leftists are catatonic. They act as if Trump were frog-marching illegal-alien kindergartners at riflepoint through the desert southwest and then flinging them over the border wall with bayonets.
“All my people are getting attacked,” actress Selena Gomez bawled like a famished infant via Instagram. “The children, I don’t understand. I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do,” she bellowed.
CNN Espanol’s Maria Santana moaned on Jan. 27 about what happens “[w]hen kids start asking, ‘Why hasn’t my best friend come back to school?’ ‘Why did my friend disappear?’”
New York City Comptroller Brad Ladner, a Democrat, accused City Hall of “not standing up for our people” through this “heartbreaking” clampdown.
“This mass deportation agenda is targeting our loved ones,” sobbed Rep. Nydia Velazquez, D-N.Y.
New York City Councilman Shaun Abreu trembled, “With ICE operating in our city, fear is spreading.”
Incapable of giving Adolf Hitler an evening off, MSNBC’s Joy Reid panicked: “The similarities to what happened in Germany and what’s happening now in America is [sic] just undeniable.”
So, let’s meet 10 of these very special people who, since Jan. 20, have ignited the Democrat-Left’s burning love and triggered their cascades of tears.
This illegal-alien mayhem notwithstanding, Illinois humiliates itself as ground zero for TDDS—Trump-Deportation Derangement Syndrome. Its leaders might be America’s most unhinged over Trump’s widely anticipated actions.
“What’s clear from this administration is that they do not have the full pulse or the breadth of what people in America are calling for,” said Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, a Democrat. Has Johnson not seen a newspaper since Nov. 5? That’s when Trump won 312 Electoral College votes, the popular vote, and all seven swing states after promising voters mass deportation of illegal aliens, starting with dangerous and violent criminals among these foreign invaders.
“Again, what this administration is attempting to do? He’s attempting to get us to surrender our humanity. We’re not going to do that in Chicago,” Johnson said.
Johnson and other Democrats are badly out of step with the American people on this issue. According to a Jan. 18 Harvard CAPS/Harris survey of 2,650 registered voters, a stunning 71% approve of “deportations of illegal immigrants who have committed crimes.”
Illinois’ chief executive is equally out of it.
“After a week of Republicans sowing fear and chaos, the first reports of raids in Chicago are at an elementary school,” Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat, babbled inaccurately via X. “Targeting children and separating families is cruel and un-American,” added the scion of the family behind the Hyatt hotel fortune. In fact, the Secret Service, not ICE, responded to an unconnected complaint at 92% Hispanic Hamline Elementary School.
Chicago Public Schools explained this confusion: “Our original communication was a result of a misunderstanding, reflective of the fear and concerns in the community amid the new administration’s focus on undocumented immigrants,” again generic “immigrants” who just happened to forget their papers, even though many of them have driver’s licenses, ID cards, and other American documents.
“We will not open our doors for ICE, and we are here to protect our children and make sure they have access to an excellent education,” said Hamline’s principal, Natasha Ortega. She promises to slam the doors on ICE, the very same agency that is busy trying to protect the Windy City’s boys and girls from illegal-alien fentanyl traffickers, child molesters, sex slavers, and murderers.
Would Ortega prefer that ICE leave these vicious illegal-alien criminals free, so they can prey on Chicago’s children?
Democrats have learned less than nothing since Election Day. In their eyes, illegal aliens, no matter how bloodthirsty, are all heroes. And Trump, no matter how hard he works to shield Americans from these hoodlums, is still the villain.
