RUTHFULLY YOURS

https://www.frontpagemag.com/trump-shuts-down-the-hate-america-lefts-border-crisis/

On Day One of his second Presidency, Donald Trump took action to stem what is arguably the most catastrophic ongoing crisis the previous administration of Joe Biden has engendered: the opened floodgates of illegal immigration at our southern border.

A nation without a secure border and enforced immigration laws is a nation at serious risk of collapse due to threats ranging from system overload to drug- and human trafficking to terrorism. This is especially the case with the United States, still the world’s preeminent beacon of liberty and prosperity, which makes it both a promised land for millions fleeing poverty and oppression, and a target for ideological enemies both external and internal who would subvert and destroy her.

Among other historic measures to reverse the tide of the radical Left’s “fundamental transformation” of our country, Trump declared this border crisis to be exactly what it is – a national emergency – and signed an executive order on Monday ordering the deployment of 1,500 active-duty servicemembers to the border with Mexico. “Clarifying the Military’s Role in Protecting the Territorial Integrity of the United States” was one of ten executive orders he signed that day related to border security and illegal immigration.

“A National Emergency currently exists along the southern border of the United States,” the order reads:

Unchecked unlawful mass migration and the unimpeded flow of opiates across our borders continue to endanger the safety and security of the American people and encourage further lawlessness. Accordingly, through this order, I am acting in accordance with my solemn duty to protect and defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the United States along our national borders.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested at least 308 illegal immigrants on President Donald Trump’s first full day in office, border czar Tom Homan announced Wednesday.

On Tuesday, immigration authorities began arresting hundreds of illegal immigrants who have committed violent crimes, including murder and rape. Over 1.4 million immigrants residing in the U.S. illegally will be prioritized in the early days of Trump’s second term.

“We’re concentrating on the worst first,” Homan told Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones Wednesday morning, noting ICE is focusing on arresting “public safety threats” and “national security threats” as Trump promised.

“Some of them were murderers. Some of them were rapists. Some of them raped a child. Some sexually assaulted a child,” the border czar said of the 308 detainees.

National Review contacted DHS and ICE for comment on additional details of the arrested criminal aliens.

“ICE is doing their job” and “performing excellently right now out in the field,” Homan added.

On Monday, Trump declared a national emergency to secure the southern border and halt the historic surge of illegal immigrants that proliferated under former president Joe Biden for four years.

About 11 million immigrants were living in the U.S. illegally as of 2022, according to an April 2024 report from the Office of Homeland Security Statistics. That figure is likely higher now due to record border crossings under Biden.

Since the second election of Donald Trump, activists, officials, and journalists have written repeatedly about the coming “mass deportation” of illegal immigrants. The National Immigrant Justice Center has put out a fact sheet warning its clients to “prepare for Trump’s mass deportation threats.” The ACLU observes that “Trump has repeatedly sought to rationalize his plans for mass deportation, blending military and national security rhetoric with xenophobia.” And Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, at a rally calling for Temporary Protected Status for Ecuadorians illegally residing in the United States, warned that Trump plans to deploy the “military to conduct mass deportations” of “those who serve as the backbone of our local economies.”

“Mass deportation” is a propaganda term that does not describe the detention and removal plans of the new administration, and it is not used by Trump or his representatives. Mass deportation is the wholesale detention and removal of an entire community based on nationality, ethnicity, or some other immutable characteristic. For example, Stalin engaged in large-scale reorganization of the population of the Soviet Union based on nationality, beginning with the mass deportation of 170,000 ethnic Koreans from their home on the Sea of Japan 4,000 miles west to Uzbekistan. Later, during World War II, Stalin’s secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria deported 200,000 Tatars from their home in Crimea thousands of miles to the east.

Other historical mass deportations include Andrew Jackson’s ethnic cleansing of Native Americans from the Deep South and their forced removal a thousand miles west, in what is known as the Trail of Tears. The removal of 112,000 ethnic Japanese from the American Pacific coast during World War II qualifies, too, as does the mass deportation of millions of Jews from German-occupied Europe to concentration and extermination camps in Poland during that same conflict. Mass deportations are indiscriminate in that every person associated with a national or ethnic group is rounded up.

Dementia Joe’s disastrous presidency can’t end soon enough.  While he’s busy offering clemency to child rapists and murderers (and teasing the prospect of pardons for the lawfare tyrants who tormented his political adversaries these miserable last four years), his chief operating officer handling the Democrats’ suicidal open borders policy — Department of Homeland (in)Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — is preoccupied with shielding a million more foreign nationals from future deportation.  This extra protection for Venezuelans, El Salvadorans, Ukrainians, and Sudanese is in addition, of course, to the lawless Biden regime’s ongoing criminal conspiracy to aid and abet international drug smugglers, sex slavers, and black market crime syndicates by resettling millions of illegal aliens (cartel “cargo”) across the United States.  If the Biden White House really wants to insulate itself from the consequences of its own criminality, it will need to issue thousands of additional pardons for its closest friends (and America’s enemies) in the next few days.

Human trafficker Mayorkas has to be one of the most vile demons in a Democrat den brimming with evil spirits.  The DHS devil helped the Chinese Communist Party kill Americans with fentanyl and looked the other way as a half-million or more young children were imported as chattel and sexual playthings for the country’s most repugnant Hell-bound deviants.  Yet the execrable pedophile-enabler never missed an opportunity to stand before cameras with a fiendish smile and defame as “racists” those who object to his criminal depravity.  Mayorkas — who made America only less secure while being charged with an obligation to do the opposite (a default in duty common among the Biden regime’s “America Last” fifth column) — spent his time in office ensuring that Americans are more likely to be the victims of rape, murder, robbery, and other violence.

While the deadly repercussions of the Biden-Mayorkas open borders madness will haunt us for decades, there are countless heartbreaking stories that remain unreported due to the moral limitations of our cowering, censorship-prone, incurious press.  Sanctuary cities’ open invitations to and “free” handouts for foreign nationals are attractive nuisances that have drawn criminal illegal aliens from around the world, but those who follow Democrats’ siren song across our borders and into the homeland do not remain in Democrat-run cities.

Joe Biden, to the degree he was cognizant, has always reflected the Obama-era utopia dream of a borderless world, and thus millions of poor have illegally entered the United States. On numerous occasions, he offered clear warnings of what he would do if he ever had power over immigration policy.

Do we remember this 2020 Biden boast to let in millions and offer blanket amnesties?

“But I will send to the desk immediately a bill that requires the access to citizenship for 11 million undocumented folks, number one. Number two, in the first 100 days of my administration, no one, no one will be deported at all. From that point on, the only deportations that will take place are commissions of felonies in the United States of America.” In Biden’s world, if no illegal alien is ever to be deported unless a criminal, then there is at last no border.

Earlier Biden had also bragged, “We could afford to take in a heartbeat another two million. The idea that a country of 330 million people cannot absorb people who are in desperate need and who are justifiably fleeing oppression is absolutely bizarre.”

After 2020, we found out what Biden really meant was that a few thousand privileged and rich people in Martha’s Vineyard, Malibu, and Rehoboth, Delaware, certainly could not absorb even a few hundred in “desperate need”—but the millions of poor in inner-city Chicago, in the Rio Grande Valley, and the Central Valley of California most certainly could absorb “another two million” illegal aliens.

Most infamously, in 2019, Biden gave explicit outlines of the very open border that he has now institutionalized: “I would, in fact, make sure that there is, that we immediately surge the border all those people are seeking asylum. They deserve to be heard. That’s who we are. We’re a nation that says if you want to flee, and you’re fleeing oppression, you should come. (emphasis added).”

Again, Biden assumed that “you should come” applied to downtown New York, South Central LA, or El Paso, but under no circumstances to Kalorama, Kailua, or the empty summer dorm rooms of Stanford or Harvard.

Expect a liberal implosion when Tom Homan, President-elect Donald Trump’s new Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director — or “border czar” — begins mass deportations of illegal aliens immediately after Inauguration Day.

Homan has promised to target all aliens who entered the country illegally, regardless of criminal status.

The Left has already sounded the alarm bells, predicting concentration camps, screaming children as they are pulled from frantic parents, ICE storm troopers entering houses and workspaces with guns drawn in search of illegal migrants who only wanted a better life for themselves but who are now being hunted down like wounded animals — or so the legacy media will report.

This highly dramatic Democrat scenario is meant to pull at the heartstrings and to get Americans to have a Hallmark Card moment and say, “Enough, let these people stay…if only for the sake of the children.”

Speaking of the children, a federal judge—U.S. District Court Judge J. Campbell Barker—struck down a Biden administration program (“Keeping Families Together”) shortly after the November 5 election. The Biden program would have allowed illegal aliens married to American citizens to stay in the country and obtain legal status; as a bonus it offered them a fast-track to U.S. citizenship.

Barker declared “Keeping Families Together” violated U.S. immigration law. Similar challenges were successful in more than a dozen other Republican states.

The Homan policy, however, will not separate children from families but deport children and parents together. Homan, Trump’s former acting U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement director, also has plans to cut funds to “sanctuary states” like California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, and New York.

https://amgreatness.com/2024/12/02/yes-mexico-knows-exactly-what-it-is-doing/

President-elect Donald Trump recently had a “talk” with newly elected Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum about the millions who have crossed through Mexico to enter the U.S. illegally.

Afterwards, Trump reported that their conversation went well, and supposedly both had agreed to secure the U.S. border.

But given long-standing, de facto Mexican policy to rely on and profit from an open U.S. border, it was not long afterwards that Sheinbaum claimed she had not been so accommodating.

Or, as she now put it of the Trump conversation, “I give you the certainty that we would never—and we would be incapable of it—propose that we would close the border.” And of course, she is right: Mexico never would wish for a secure U.S. border, although it is wrong that she is incapable of guaranteeing one should she choose to do so.

What, then, is going on?

Over the last half-century, Mexico has gradually, even insidiously, developed both a one-sided, asymmetrical relationship with the U.S. based on professed mutual benefit and yet sought to leverage America by claiming it is supposedly guilty for two centuries of oppressive treatment.

How does the strange U.S.-Mexico supposed co-dependence seem to work?

The Mexican government has traditionally seen the U.S. as an endlessly wealthy country, liberally governed, and more or less willing to listen to Mexico’s grievances of the sort that are common in asymmetrical partnerships.

About 60 percent of the Mexican people traditionally in polls have voiced a positive view of the United States, yet a surprisingly low number when considering the millions who try to cross its border illegally each year.

Nonetheless, Mexico for decades has conveniently explained the vast influxes across the border, unaudited and illegal, as largely in America’s interests—and mirabile dictu even to Mexico’s disadvantage. Polls tell, however, a vastly different and far more accurate story.

https://www.frontpagemag.com/largest-illegal-alien-county-prepares-resistance-to-trump/

Eight percent of Los Angeles County is illegal. This is where 800,000 illegal aliens out of an estimated 3 million statewide (the real numbers are likely much higher) have been harbored.

And that may be about to change.

In no county and state has the political power of the Democrats been as closely tied to open borders as in Los Angeles County and California. Flipping California convinced the Democrats to tie their national fortunes to mass migration and for a while it seemed to be working.

Biden’s open borders team, from Border Czar Kamala Harris to Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and USCIS director Ur Mendoza Jaddou, were not only Californians, but typical products of its diverse checkbox political class who rejected the idea of national borders.

California deportations had sharply dropped off after the state began implementing pro-illegal and pro-crime laws in 2014, falling from a high of nearly 100,000 to less than 4,000 in 2024. With the California Values Act (SB 54) blocking law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities in place, the first Trump administration struggled to bring deportations up to around 30,000 a year and under Biden deportations effectively disappeared in California.

But the 2024 election may be about to crack the nation’s worst sanctuary state, county and city.

If Kamala had won, she would have been the first White House Democrat from California, but instead California Democrats in the largest illegal alien county in the country are panicking.
