"Keep in mind that roughly 60–65% of illegal aliens in the U.S. reside in sanctuary states or cities run by Democrats". This is a frightening but nevertheless a revealing statistic!

 

They’re Not Sanctuary Cities; They’re Slavery Cities

By Allan J. Feifer www.americanthinker.com

Sanctuary cities and states exist not for the altruistic reasons blue state leaders claim, but because of profit—the profit of slavery.

Progressives portray sanctuary cities as a necessary means to balance public safety, human rights, and local autonomy in the face of federal immigration enforcement. Sanctuary City supporters harp on false narratives. Thus, they’ll routinely raise a handful of now familiar arguments:

• Encouraging the reporting of crime, thereby reducing it
• Limiting federal overreach
• Protecting due process
• Preventing family separation
• Supporting economic contributors
• Moral resistance
• Upholding American values

The truth is different. Sanctuary city proponents are in the slavery business.

A recent ICE raid shows how it works:

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed on X that 319 unlawful immigrants were apprehended during the raid at Glass House Farms, and said that “law enforcement rescued 14 children from potential forced labor, exploitation, and trafficking.”

We know cartels were charging as much as $18,000 per person.

Democrats have won the “caring” label for the last two generations. It’s high time the truth concerning illegal immigration, which frequently involves and profits Democrat party supporters. Circle back to the Ventura County Cannabis raids last week; the company’s co-founder, president, and board director, Graham Farrar, donated $10,000 to California Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2018, among other Democrat politicians. Remember, this is a legal pot farm! You might think there might be a bit more scrutiny of such an operation, right?

Democrats (and yes, some Republicans) benefit from paying lower wages to illegals. Keep in mind that roughly 60–65% of illegal aliens in the U.S. reside in sanctuary states or cities run by Democrats. It stands to reason that Democrats benefit more broadly than Republicans in that regard due to the geographic distribution of migrants. Illegal aliens earn 30–50% less than U.S. citizens in comparable low-wage sectors, such as agriculture, construction, and hospitality, with little to no plans to be assimilated in the usual immigration manner.

Exploiting children is integral to illegal immigration:

The most recent estimate suggests that over 32,000 unaccompanied migrant children in the U.S. failed to appear for their immigration court hearings between 2019 and 2023. Additionally, about 291,000 children had not yet been issued court dates as of May 2024, meaning their whereabouts and legal status remain uncertain. Combined, this has led to claims that up to 323,000 children are “missing.”

Children here illegally are coerced into labor to repay (by underage labor or sex trafficking) smuggling debts to cartels or traffickers. This begins to explain why so many children were smuggled into our country. It also reveals the incipient evil that unregulated immigration promotes.

The highest values Democrats publicly trumpet are individual dignity and human rights. Their rallying cry is “no human is illegal.” Yet, facts are stubborn things, with the majority crossing with cartel help. Given this easily verifiable reality, why don’t you hear blue state Democrats decrying penniless illegal aliens owing thousands of dollars to the cartels that will never be excused or forgiven, and when not paid on time, incur interest at loan shark rates? Some who have not paid are killed or maimed as a warning to others who might think they can avoid paying according to this Biden era document.

Given the easily verifiable truth that migrants are effectively part of an immense human trafficking chain that uses our and Border Control Officers as the last link of that chain, where cartels frequently turn over their charges in the vicinity of border agents so they may regurgitate the phrases they have been taught that gets them into our country and connected with a government paid system of support:

• “I am seeking asylum.”
• “I fear for my life if I return to my country.”
• “I am fleeing persecution.”

With a wink and a nod, these false phrases opened America’s gates not to political refugees, but economic migrants who paid handsomely to come here and get on the gravy train provided by blue states and our federal government pre-Trump.

Now, America houses some 15-25 million people (nobody really knows) who live and work in a grey area created by our government signaling that if you come, you can stay, and we will support you. And, they came by the millions only to find most legitimate doors closed to them, frequently employers taking advantage of their cheap labor and even using children for nefarious purposes, even to work in slaughter houses and whore houses.

It’s a universal truth, accepted by all decent human beings, that children must be protected and ostensibly are throughout most of the world. Yet where we witness the contraindications of child trafficking, enslaved youth being worked in dangerous or backbreaking industries by so-called upstanding citizens, we witness the underbelly of Capitalism. Once the norm, Capitalism has evolved, and the worst vestiges of child labor have been expunged. If there were but a single reason to fight illegal immigration, it is on this issue. We cannot expect traffickers to differentiate between one slave and another; they are all the same to them.

This is the true face of illegal immigration in this century. America has more slaves today than at the height of slavery in the 1800s. If this angers you, blame a Democrat.

Trump’s immigration policies: A win for American youth

By Hayley Hill www.americanthinker.com

The Trump Administration’s latest approach to addressing illegal immigration is putting the focus back where it belongs -- on American youth. While critics condemn the recent crackdown on taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens as harsh or even cruel, the truth is that this policy shift is long overdue. It marks the beginning of a necessary realignment -- one that prioritizes struggling American families, restores fairness to our social safety net, and ensures that U.S. children aren’t pushed to the back of the line.

Last week, the administration announced that it would block illegal aliens from accessing Head Start and other federal benefits traditionally designed for low-income American families. As expected, opponents quickly branded this move as an attack on children. In reality, it is quite the opposite. What the naysayers miss -- willfully or otherwise -- is the real mission: restoring opportunity for American children who have been overlooked in a system strained by unlimited demand and limited resources.

Take California, for example. A 2019–2020 budget report found that an estimated 295,000 four-year-olds in California were eligible for Head Start. These are American children -- many living below the federal poverty line -- who, in theory, should have access to early education, nutrition, and family services. Only 27,000 to 34,000 children actually enrolled. That leaves a staggering 260,000 low-income children without access to one of the most foundational tools for academic and developmental success.

Nowhere is this shortfall more apparent than in Los Angeles County, where high poverty rates and a dense population create fierce competition for services like Head Start. The Los Angeles County Office of Education currently serves just over 10,000 children through Head Start and Early Head Start programs. Despite this, tens of thousands more remain unserved -- many on waitlists or simply turned away due to lack of space. Meanwhile, California is home to an estimated 2.7 million illegal aliens, including tens of thousands of children under the age of five, who are increasingly competing for these same taxpayer-funded services.

The result? American children, especially those in working-class or impoverished communities, are often pushed aside in favor of a political agenda that prioritizes non-citizens over citizens. Politicians in California, despite claiming to champion social equity, continue to pass laws and budget expansions that provide state-funded healthcare and housing aid to illegal aliens -- while thousands of American children sit at home, left out of the very programs that were created for them.

This isn't about race, and it’s not about cruelty. It's about responsibility. A nation has a duty to care for its own citizens first, especially its children. When our systems are overburdened, when funding is limited, and when access is competitive, we must draw clear lines. Prioritizing citizens in programs like Head Start is not just common sense, it’s morally correct. It recognizes that while empathy and compassion are good qualities, they cannot come at the cost of neglecting the citizens our leaders have sworn to serve and protect.

Illegal immigration activists will still argue that these changes punish children who had no control over their immigration status. That argument overlooks the broader issue: low-income American families -- citizens and legal residents of the country -- are the ones left out in the cold when programs like Head Start are stretched too thin. Compassion cannot mean a blind abandonment of fairness.

Expanding access to services for illegal aliens creates backwards incentives. When families around the world see that the U.S. provides free education, housing, and healthcare to non-citizens, they are more likely to risk illegal entry -- not less. This undermines not only the rule of law but also the ability of programs like Head Start to function as intended. Turning off benefits to those who entered our country illegally, a hallmark of the Trump Administration’s strategy, may be more effective at reducing illegal immigration than a wall at the border.

President Trump’s immigration reforms, particularly those aimed at reining in abuse of public services, may feel uncomfortable to some -- but for millions of American children living in poverty, they represent a lifeline. Redirecting limited resources to those most entitled to them isn’t just smart policy -- it’s long-overdue justice for American youth.

Until we stop pretending that we can serve everyone without consequences, Americans will continue to pay the price. It's time we stopped apologizing for putting our own country -- and our children -- first.

Getting Off the Road to Ruin

By Anthony J. DeBlasi www.americanthinker.com

Scripture informs us that “to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good”: wisdom, knowledge, ability to heal, faith, and much else (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). Apparently my lot was to sound off when what is natural, true, or beautiful is attacked — the reason for the following . . . 

What must one do to be a good citizen in America? Be honest? Be truthful? Be industrious? Be generous? Heed the Ten Commandments? No, no, no, no, and no, according to mainstream consensus, at least since about 1960. It has in fact become usual to look the other way, as one social atrocity after another gets turned into a “right” and made “legal” by the rule of “political correctness.” So when, for example, children are done away with before they are born, a good citizen recognizes “the right to choose” the murder of babies in the womb. A good citizen must agree that “mercy killing” is not only for horses but for people. He and she must pretend that deviant sexual behavior does not psychologically damage young children and interfere with their normal development and with their family relations. The good citizen accepts perverted sex as a normal function of the body — like sneezing or scratching to relieve an irritation — instead of the gateway to new human life. Include the fib that fathers and mothers are not needed and bury it in the lie that there is no difference between men and women. Good citizens must take their political pills to remain politically and economically healthy, while all they hold most dear is threatened with extinction.

This blunt summary is intended to highlight what countless Americans have swallowed in the past several decades. To put it in one sentence: Yesterday’s outrage is OK today and today’s outrage is OK tomorrow.

It’s called “change,” that handy explanation for anything that promotes “progress,” regardless of direction, safety, or value. The first thing out of the mouth when hearing that word to justify something needs to be: Change to what? Without a reference to content, “change” is an empty word, a loophole for anything you can name. Is one-world government (e.g. the New World Order) a change we need? From the evidence, that is a world nobody wants. Should we welcome any change that delivers global dictatorship? Yes, if you’re a Marxist. Anyone who buys a One World Panacea, must be prepared to live in a world that prohibits freedom and denies all of which it does not approve.

After the two world wars of the previous century, a vanguard of smart alecks steeped in Marxist ideology decided that this country needed to be changed and brought up to date. This involved discarding all that came before their time. Plato, Aristotle, Jesus, Dante, Shakespeare, Confucius, and all previous luminaries of humanity were great fools that needed to be upstaged and corrected by pundits like Hegel, Karl Marx, John Dewey, and more recent examples of superior intellect and wisdom like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The list of new sages includes Saul Alinsky who cites the devil (in Rules for Radicals) as a model for action.

How can we ever make up for excluding destructive, degenerate, and barbaric action from the normal conduct of society? Is it possible to rebound from such a blunder? 

Coming back to reality, America has been under the siege of barbarians for a very long time, enduring assaults on liberty, truth, and reality with little to show in response. Pressed to explain their contempt for normal life, followers of 1960s/1970s smart alecks are prone to redefine “normal” and bring up an alleged need for “tolerance and inclusion.” Tolerance of differences in people, such as ethnic and cultural origin, is a rewarding virtue. But tolerating policies and practices that demean life and degrade society are — to use their word — unacceptable. Millions have perished and suffered on account of such policies and actions, still being pushed by the so-called “left,” whose Marxist roots continue to generate civil unrest, conflict, and hatred among members of society. 

The need to uproot such deep moral degeneracy is beyond question. A good place to start, I think, is to expose the nonsense of “private morality.” There is no such thing. There can be no justifying morality for killing infants about to be born. And their stage of development has nothing to do with decisions regarding justice. Those who deliberately abort a developing child must face the consequences of infanticide. There is no justifying morality for abusing the reproductive function of the body. Those who do must face nature’s backlash: a dysfunctional and unhealthy life.

These are plain facts of life. They’re not “conservative talking points” competing with “liberal talking points” for votes in a political contest. For it is not the business of majority rule to overrule the observance of justice. As Alexis de Tocqueville predicted and John Dewey demonstrated, democracy can become the tool of demagogues.

Freedom to do anything you want is not a “right.” Those who think it is have failed to notice that freedom in this world comes with unavoidable preconditions. Two that may not be rejected are conformity to reality and adherence to morality. Failure to hold firmly to these transcendent prerequisites defeats the freedom anticipated and predisposes one to the influence and power of those who in fact hate freedom. Those who despise freedom have no place in America, which was established to root out tyranny and endow its citizens with a government designed to ensure the fullest possible measure of freedom.

We owe Americans who hold to this original commitment to liberty and justice and who act to restore the level of sanity that made America a great nation our support and gratitude. And let us be thankful for a president dedicated to getting us off the road to ruin and letting us live as normal human beings instead of chattel of the state. Recalling the near-fatal shot at the president from a sniper, Trump’s ascension to leadership has been called (by The Liberty Daily) “the Quarter-inch miracle that changed the world.”

 

Thank Heaven for men such as this!

 

Tom Homan: The Illegal Aliens’ ‘Not Welcome Here’ Doormat

By Richard Blakley www.americanthinker.com

To a crowd cheering “USA, USA” Tom Homan walked out on the stage at the recent Turning Point USA summit.  Homan warned the crowd, “Look, I’m a bad a**.  I say bad things. So, look, let me start off by saying sometimes I use a bad word.  Sometimes, I’m harsh.  But if I offend anybody here, I don’t give a sh**.”

It’s good that we don’t have to wonder about what Homan really thinks.

Mr. Homan continued, “This is the second time I have come out of retirement for President Trump, who happens to be the greatest president in my lifetime.”

You have to stop and think about that statement.  This man has a retirement income and could be out by a lake somewhere, but instead when President Trump told him that his country needed him to serve once more, Homan rose to the occasion and is serving his country.

Homan continued,

So I was the first guy the President called, and I remember that after the election, I am out to dinner with my wife and the phone is sitting on the table, and all of a sudden it rings and it says ‘POTUS.’  My wife says, ‘sh**.’ She goes, ‘He’s going to ask you to come back.’  So, I walked outside and the first thing that was out of his mouth was, ‘Tom you been bitch’n about it for four years.  You wanta come back and fix it?’  Says, your d*** right.  Let’s go.

Then Homan spoke of Joe Biden, who taking the most secure border in Homan’s lifetime, under President Trump’s first term,  and “unsecured it on purpose,” being “the first president in the history of this nation to come into office and unsecured the border on purpose.”

Then Homan stated, “So, where are we at today?  Tonight, as I am talking to you, we got the most secure border in the history of this nation.”

The crowd erupted with cheers.

Continuing, Homan stated, “Illegal immigration — down 96%.  That means 96% less people are coming.”  Then Homan asked, “How many women are not being raped by the cartels?  How many children aren’t dying making that journey?  How many pounds of fentanyl isn’t getting into the country to kill Americans?”  

Again, the crowd erupted with cheers.

Homan continued,

How many women and children aren’t getting sex trafficked, unlike the last administration?  President Trump’s policies are saving lives everyday…  I’m like a kid in a candy shop everyday, ‘cause I’m working with this guy and everyday is an adventure, ‘cause I knew he was going to let us do what we do, to not only secure the border, but remove millions of illegal aliens that Joe Biden let into this country.

Again, there were cheers and applause from the crowd.

Homan then said that under Biden’s administration, half a million children were trafficked into this country with Biden’s administration losing track of 300,000.  Then Homan stated, “Trump’s already found thousands of the children.”

The crowd cheered.

Then Homan went on to explain that some of these children were with family members, but some of the children were sex trafficked or in forced labor or both.  He stated that one man was found to have custody of 20 illegal alien children, most of which were female, and Biden’s administration “allowed that to happen.”  Homan said that President Trump and himself are not going to be satisfied until they find every child and save them.  Homan stated, “The last administration just didn’t give a sh**.  It’s just terrible.”

Homan stated that when you have child-trafficking into this country for sex or forced labor, he said he didn’t care which side of politics you are on: “All hands should have been on deck.  Under President Trump, all hands are on deck.”

Shortly after this, Homan’s speech was interrupted by a heckler yelling the question, “Are you an MS-13 member?”  The heckler was wearing a Trump hat and a t-shirt that said, “I identify as ultra MAGA.”  This guy was as much MAGA as the “left-wing activist” who incited Trump supporters while wearing a MAGA hat that entered the Capital on January 6th  This heckler was holding a picture of Homan with MS-13 tattoos written on Homan’s knuckles.  This was trying to make some kind of snide remark to Homan concerning the “Maryland Dad,” who, at least twice, was found to be a gang member by a federal immigration court.

In response to the heckler, Homan stated, “Why don’t you come up here and hand me that picture?  Bring it.  Bring it.”  Then he instigated the crowd to start saying “USA, USA.”  Then Homan said, “We’ve got morons like this all over the country.  This guy wouldn’t know what it is like to serve this nation.  This guy ain’t got the balls to be an ICE officer.  He ain’t got the balls to be a border patrol agent.  This guy lives in his mother’s basement.  The only thing that surprises me is that you don’t got purple hair and a nose ring.  Get out of here you loser.  And if you are such a badass, meet offstage in 13 minutes and 50 seconds… I guarantee you, he sits down to pee.”

Greg Gutfeld says, “Let this be an omen, don’t mess with Tom Homan.”  Gutfeld said, “[Homan] looks like the Thing with a hangover, which is a compliment.”  Gutfeld said, “Trump’s messaging does all the heavy lifting of deportation… Tom Homan just looking at them makes you want to board a bus and go to Tijuana.  He gives off a vibe that shaving cream is for wussies.  He is a walking talking version of the wall.” Then Gutfeld asked, “Is he not the perfect man for the job?”

On Fox News “The Five”, Gutfeld stated that we need to invent a word for when a person physically resembles their occupation.  Gutfeld stated, “I think it is called ‘a Homan,’ because Homan’s face is like the opposite of a welcome mat.  You see that face and you say, ‘I’m not sticking around in this country.’  He is a walking rockslide.”

America should be thankful for men like Tom Homan who serve our country with the heart of protecting American citizens and removing illegal aliens from our country who have entered the U.S., breaking immigration laws.  Also, there should be no question at all, that illegal aliens committing even more crimes in the U.S. should be kicked out of our country.

Tom Homan is face on the U.S. doormat that says, “Illegal aliens are not welcome in the U.S.”  Thank you, Mr. Homan, for your service to our country.
