Brigitte Gabriel on X - "Where were all these courts when our immigration laws were being broken?"

CMV: Trump's refusal to actively prosecute large employers of illegal immigrants reveals he is not running his deportation campaign for security, economic, or moral reasons. : r/changemyview - "I believe Trump has gone after employers who have done this, but you do have to think about the logistics of prosecuting all of them. There are thousands of companies across the United States that have employed illegal labor, fining them or going after them legally could be difficult if not infeasible. Court cases take a notoriously long period of time to finish and it is more than likely most of these cases would be dragged out possibly intentionally until another Democrat administration takes office in 3 1/2 years. Who would likely drop all of the lawsuits and then reopen the borders to bring in as many people as possible. With the end result being a lot of time, money, and legal capital wasted where it would’ve been better spent just trying to deport as many as possible and making it harder for them to come back.  I agree they do need to be punished for exacerbating the problem, but the decision not to go after them is like likely a pragmatic one."

CMV: Trump's refusal to actively prosecute large employers of illegal immigrants reveals he is not running his deportation campaign for security, economic, or moral reasons. : r/changemyview - "  The problem is proof.  If a person is in the country illegally, and they are working... that's proof they are working illegally.  But when it comes to the business end of things- who is responsible? The CEO? They don't control the day-to-day operations. A VP? Same thing. The head of HR? The hiring manager? 'Oh, they showed us fake paperwork!' Who is responsible? This is much, much tougher to prove. They could spend weeks/months gathering evidence, taking depositions, etc, etc, only to maybe arrest some scapegoat... or, with the same amount of effort, they can find/catch/deport all the illegal workers, which starves the company of workers."

CMV: Trump's refusal to actively prosecute large employers of illegal immigrants reveals he is not running his deportation campaign for security, economic, or moral reasons. : r/changemyview - "Other people have pointed out that the Trump administration has gone after employers also. But the issue isn't as simple as you are painting it. ICE doesn't go after employers as often as we would like because most migrant use fake IDs and someone else's SSN to apply for a job. So the employer can claim they didn't know.
'It is because big corporations hire them.'
Not all illegal immigrants are hired by big corporations! Plenty of them are self-employed doing jobs like lawn maintenance, etc.
'Now, letting a bunch of people into the country without any vetting is bad. We can all agree on that.'
Can we? A lot of Trump's political opponents openly say "no human is illegal". In fact YOU YOURSELF said: "A lot of people think it's just immoral to cross the border illegally and thus break the law. Even if I don't agree I can accept that."
'Far from being a resource sink, Illegal immigrants are actually major economic contributors'
Then why were cities going bankrupt under Biden from the migrant crisis? Let's face it, if illegal immigrants were major economic contributors then cities would be competing over who gets the most, they wouldn't complain when they arrive!
'They also work jobs that American workers quite frankly are not able to fill'
They work jobs that American workers will not fill at the slave wages being offered.
'Now, if Trump wanted to keep all that money flowing into our economy, he could just ignore the issue or start a generous work visa program that vetted the people willing to come into the country and work for cheap while still letting them come in.'
The US already takes in more legal immigrants than any other country in the world, more than 1 million per year. But it's not enough. It will never be enough. Even if we increased that to 10 million, there would still be people trying to sneak in."

@amuse on X - "REMINDER: The reason Democrat judges are fighting so hard to keep illegals - even the criminal aliens - is all about control of the House. If illegals were removed or not counted for apportionment Democrats would lose 10 seats in the house giving the GOP a 27 seat advantage."

David Santa Carla 🦇 on X - "Thousands of Somalis. 4 White people. This isn’t Somalia. This is Minnesota."
Paul on X - "I used to take my kids here and that ended after that African Migrant threw a 3 year old off the 3rd story of this mall because his mom refused the African migrants advances. I can remember taking my daughter and nieces here to see Bill Nye do science experiments before he went libtarded."

@amuse on X - "WEAPONIZATION: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is warning ICE agents that he will see to it that their identities are known to the public including the Cartels, MS-13, and TdA."
Ron DeSantis on X - "We take threats to law enforcement very seriously.  As the state leading the nation in immigration enforcement, FL will not sit idly by and allow agents from DHS/ICE and/or state and local agencies to be targeted.  Accordingly, I have directed state law enforcement agencies to respond to any attempt to “doxx” law enforcement personnel and place them in danger.  Sabotaging the work of those in the immigration enforcement arena will not stand!"

ICE didn't raid LA elementary school graduation ahead of immigration protests | Snopes.com - "On June 6, 2025, a claim circulated online that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had raided an elementary school graduation in Los Angeles... we found no evidence ICE made arrests at Gratts Learning Academy for Young Scholars on June 6, as the TikTok user above claimed. A spokesperson for Los Angeles Unified, the school district where Gratts Learning Academy was located, said via email that the graduation ceremony at the school on June 6, seen in its online calendar, "continued without any disruption."   "The claims that immigration enforcement activity arrived to the school and during the event are false. Additionally, no schools near Gratts went on a soft lockdown," the spokesperson said, addressing an additional claim @justsayuhatebasketball made during his June 6 video. Therefore, we rate this claim false."
This won't stop left wingers continuing to spread misinformation

U.S. citizen with REAL ID handcuffed in Alabama immigration raid and held before release - "The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement to NBC News that Garcia interfered with an arrest during a targeted worksite operation.  “He physically got in between agents and the subject they were attempting to arrest and refused to comply with numerous verbal commands,” said Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary. “Anyone who actively obstructs law enforcement in the performance of their sworn duties, including U.S. citizens, will of course face consequences which include arrest.”"
If someone who interferes with law enforcement in order to push the left wing agenda is arrested, that is literally fascism

Meme - @PramilaJayapal: "Immigrants aren't making health care more expensive - Republicans are. Trans people aren't making health care more expensive - Republicans are. Poor people aren't making health care more expensive - Republicans are."
Pramila Jayapal @PramilaJayapal: ".@BernieSanders & I would ensure undocumented immigrants are covered in #MedicareForAll. That's good for them and for public health in a crisis like #COVID19"
Maybe there really are people who think free healthcare is literally free, as in costless to provide

Meme - *Kilmar Abrego Garcia*
Aesthetica @Anc_Aesthetics: "He’s not MS-13 guys. His wife just covers his MS-13 tattoo in every photo she posts."

kevin smith on X - "So lets work this out about Kilmar Garcia...
- His Wife says hes a gang member
- His Ex-wife says hes a gang member
- His Hands say he's a gang member
- 2 courts say he's a gang member
- His Gang says he's a gang Member
Democrats: There's no evidence he's a gang member"

Julia 🇺🇸 on X - "JD Vance nails the Abrego Garcia issue in one minute:   "I just disagree with the idea that he hasn't been offered due process. He had a couple of immigration hearings; he had a valid deportation order...  ...I think there's actually a deeper issue going on, which is that you see some radical judges at the district court level who are trying to layer so much "process" on top of the immigration system that it makes it impossible to function. We have over 20 million illegal aliens in the United States of America—are we not allowed to deport them? Because if we're not allowed to deport them, then what these district courts are saying is fundamentally, they reject the will of the American people as it was expressed in November 2024.""
"Due process" means if it pushes the left wing agenda, you get endless appeals until you get the left's desired outcome

Libs of TikTok on X - "Democrats are PANICKING & trying to backpedal now that their hero was charged with human trafficking & solicitation of child p**n. "I don’t know of a single Democrat who defended him…specifically against any crimes." - Rep Raskin We have the receipts."
The Source With Kaitlan Collins : CNNW : April 18, 2025 6:00pm-7:00pm PDT - "the administration has admitted that he was falsely arrested and removed from the country. So now they're making up all this stuff about MS-13"

FBI Director Kash Patel on X - "Just NOW, the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week.  We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest.   Thankfully, our agents chased down the perp on foot and he’s been in custody since, but the Judge’s obstruction created increased danger to the public.  We will have more to share soon. Excellent work @FBIMilwaukee ."

Former New Mexico judge accused of tampering with evidence in Tren de Aragua case - "A former New Mexico judge was arrested by federal Homeland Security Investigations agents Thursday and accused of tampering with evidence in a case against a man suspected to be a member of the Tren de Aragua gang, according to a criminal complaint filed Friday.  The complaint alleges Joel Cano, a former Doña Ana County Division 6 magistrate, destroyed evidence in a federal investigation into the Venezuelan man accused of being in the United States illegally and residing in a back house on property owned by the judge and his wife in Las Cruces... The recently resigned New Mexico judge gave notice earlier this spring days after federal agents conducted a search on his property. His last day on the bench was March 21.  An application to search the back house in late February alleges that in addition to the suspected gang member, two other Venezuelans in the country illegally lived there and that the Canos’ adult daughter lives on the property.  Federal officials have accused the judge of destroying a cellphone said to belong to suspected gang member Cristhian Adrian Ortega-Lopez.  In a criminal complaint, the officials said that the judge destroyed the phone with a hammer and that the device was being sought because it may have contained photographs showing Ortega-Lopez possessing weapons, some of which allegedly belonged to Cano, his wife and their daughter... The judge’s wife, Nancy Cano, was charged Friday with conspiracy to tamper with evidence. The criminal complaint alleges that she told Ortega-Lopez to delete his Facebook account where he had posted photos with weapons allegedly owned by the judge, his wife, or their daughter."

Amy Klobuchar on X - "This is not normal. The Administration's arrest of a sitting judge in Wisconsin is a drastic move that threatens the rule of law. While we don’t have all the details, this is a grave step and undermines our system of checks and balances."
Mike Benz on X - "You arrested a US President, his lawyers, his accountants, and even his valet. But judges are above the law, Amy?"
Nobody is above the law - unless they push the left wing agenda
It's interesting that rule of law wasn't an issue when Biden was importing millions of illegal immigrants

MAZE on X - "It's funny how "nobody is above the law" is dependent on who is being prosecuted and who is doing the prosecuting. Imagine being paid as much as Maddow to spew whatever nonsense is politically useful at the time."

Meme - Jack Poso @JackPosobiec: "Under the Constitution it is illegal for the federal government to arrest local judges"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know: "Art. Ill, Sec. 1: federal judges "shall hold their offices during good behavior, they can be removed via impeachment or arrest.
Art. l, Sec. 6 says Congressmen (not judges) may not be arrested in session or traveling to or from session - but may be arrested elsewhere"

Meme - Jack Poso @JackPosobiec: "This is the first time in US history a judge has been arrested. This is not normal"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know: "Judges have been arrested in the U.S. before. In 2024, Douglas County Judge Christina Peterson was charged with battery & obstruction after allegedly striking a cop. Arkansas District Court Judge Thomas Carruth was arrested in 2023 on charges of bribery & obstruction."

Meme - "The judge had to spend hours in a jail cell before being arraigned. This is cruel and unprecedented."

Indians are 'abandoning' their children at US borders. But why? - "Alone, frightened, and often no older than six, Indian children are being found at the US borders with Mexico and Canada—without documents, guardians, or belongings—carrying only a slip of paper with their parents’ names and contact details. Over the past few years, this unsettling pattern has grown, marking a rise in unaccompanied Indian minors attempting illegal entry into the United States... These kids act as 'green cards' for their parents, who are also illegal immigrants, a person associated with an illegal immigration network told TOI. "In most cases, their parents first reach the US illegally and then they send for their children with other illegal immigrants to the US," he said. "When their children are caught at the borders, they seek refuge for the minors and themselves — which they usually get on humanitarian grounds."  In some instances, the strategy is reversed: parents send their children first, using their presence as a reason to apply for asylum themselves later. "They claim asylum on the grounds that their children are already in the US," this person told TOI.   Another insider involved in human trafficking said children are often sent along with groups of adults, but abandoned near border checkpoints to be picked up by the authorities. "These children carry chits in their pockets or bags, which bear the names of their parents and/or guardians. They are then sent to their parents, who may be already living illegally in the US, and given health and education benefits free of cost," the source explained...   A US-based source said abandoned children are not officially declared as such in many cases, but that they stood a strong likelihood of securing green cards within six to eight months after juvenile court rulings. "In such cases, once kids get green cards, their relatives here proceed with adoption applications," he said."

Laura Loomer on X - "⚠️EXCLUSIVE:⚠️  The husband of California U.S. District Court Judge Jennifer L. Thurston, the judge who just ruled that President Trump’s administration can’t arrest any more illegal aliens unless they have a warrant for their arrest, is a multifamily real estate broker in California who caters to the illegal alien and immigrant community, and makes Instagram videos about how Donald Trump’s mass deportations and immigration policies are bad for multifamily real estate brokers and investors.  Judge Thurston was appointed by @JoeBiden  in 2021.   This is a massive CONFLICT OF INTEREST that casts doubt on Judge Thurston’s April 29th, 2025 issuance of a preliminary injunction forbidding the US Border Patrol from conducting warrantless immigration stops throughout a wide swath of California. This injunction applies to Kern County, California, including Bakersfield, CA, where Judge Thurston’s husband is in business as a multi-family real estate broker.   Marc A. Thurston, Judge Thurston’s husband and Senior Vice President at ASU Commercial, specializes in Bakersfield’s multifamily real estate market. In video evidence exclusively obtained by @LoomerUnleashed  @CcpSkipTracer , Marc Thurston stated on his Instagram account in multiple videos he filmed this year since President Trump’s inauguration, that deportations of “undocumented immigrants” would harm the local rental market in Bakersfield, directly affecting his business, which relies on immigration enforcement outcomes since over 15,000 “undocumented workers” as he calls them, work in the Central Valley of California, and many of these illegals reside in multi-family housing where Marc Thurston and his wife Judge Jennifer Thurston live in California.   Judge Jennifer L. Thurston should have recused herself from the Trump admin case due to bias and personal financial gain resulting from her ruling, which benefits her husband’s business.   According to the “Federal Judiciary and Judicial Procedure” guidelines that all US Federal Judges are required to follow, a judge is required to recuse themselves from a case if they find themselves conflicted with any of the following rules below:
28 U.S.C. § 455(a): Requires recusal if a reasonable person, knowing all facts, might question the judge’s impartiality.
28 U.S.C. § 455(b)(4): Mandates recusal if the judge’s spouse has a financial interest that could be substantially affected by the case’s outcome.
Both of these apply to Judge Jennifer Thurston.   She is another example of Leftist, Biden-appointed activist judge.   Judge Thurston needs to RECUSE herself.   VIDEO RECEIPTS BELOW👇"

Congressman Brandon Gill on X - "If you’re here illegally, the only process you’re due is deportation."
James Surowiecki on X - "But how do you know if someone here's illegally without giving them due process?"
Left wingers think due process means the government proving in front of a judge that you don't have a right to be in the country. No wonder they oppose voter ID - they think it'd take months or even years to be allowed to vote

Meme - Matt Van Swol @matt_vanswol: "Can anyone explain to me why democrats are flying to other countries to help illegal immigrant criminals…  …but none of them came here, to Western North Carolina, to help their fellow Americans?  I don’t understand."
John Doe @benny_bets33: "Most illegals are better people than most southerners"
Left wingers just hate white people and love non-white criminals

Las Vegas is feeling the impact of Trump’s anti-immigration agenda
As usual, left wingers can't tell the difference between legal and illegal immigrants

Kristi Noem embarrassed as college student she has been trying to deport gets ultimate revenge at commencement ceremony - "One of the demonstrators said: 'One thing that immediately came to my brain when I heard she was coming here was I was genuinely scared for the massive amounts of international students that we have on campus."
Not just do left wingers think illegal immigrants are the same as legal immigrants, they think international students are illegal migrants too

Obama calls immigration plan commonsense, lawful - ""If you’re a criminal, you’ll be deported. If you plan to enter the U.S. illegally, your chances of getting caught and sent back just went up.”  “The actions I’m taking are not only lawful, they’re the kinds of actions taken by every single Republican president and every Democratic president for the past half-century. And to those members of Congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better, or question the wisdom of me acting where Congress has failed, I have one answer: Pass a bill.”"
From 2014. Damn far right extremist and xenophobe!

Barack Obama and Kamala Harris publicly rebuke Trump’s second term actions - "“Imagine if I had done any of this,” Obama said, later adding: “It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors.”"
Obama's 'Rocket Docket' Immigration Hearings Violate Due Process, Experts Say - "A new report has found 70 percent of "rocket docket" cases were processed through immigration courts without legal representation."
Obama was kind of right, though not in the way he meant. Pepperidge Farm remembers (kids in cages or the millions he deported are another example)
Someone referenced this, and a left winger kept claiming this was false and he was unable to find anything on this, and when provided with a link, pretended that he could not access it
