I was thrilled
September 5th 2017 when President Trump announced, through Attorney
General Jeff Sessions, the end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
program. Even though illegal aliens and the enabling political class assembled
in front of the Edward Roybal Federal Building to denounce this decision. The
building name is telling. That Roybal moniker has controlled East Los
Angeles-LA County politics for decades. Daddy Roybal passed on his House seat
to daughter Lucille, and she still pushes mass immigration at the expense of
American citizens.
That legacy is coming
to an end.
The small gathering of
progressives and hostile liberals cried and bellowed at the sky. DACA is over.
One guy got in my face and called me an “a—hole” repeatedly. A few other
left-wing agitators rolled up to me and badgered me because I was happy that
“little children” were going to be deported. First of all, the vast majority of
the DACA recipients are not children. Many of them are in their late 20’s, and
there are some even in their upper 30’s! The media have been pushing this false
narrative for decades, inducing Americans to feel sorry for the young illegals
whose parents brought them into our country without our permission. We have
laws, you know!
In fact, I pressured a
few of the younger agitators with some simple questions: “Do you have a door?
Do you lock it at night?” Then I asked if they still have walls around their
homes. They had to concede that they live in secure buildings. Why can’t we as
a country demand that the federal government lock the nation’s door and finish
the wall along our border?
Because people on the
left living in feelings and not facts, one woman jeered at me: “Why are you so into the law?” Why are they not into
the law? Fed up with the circular reasoning, I reached to grab the bike away
from her, and she lit up immediately: “Don’t touch my sh-t!” Her hypocrisy on
border security and the rule of law was exposed immediately. She didn’t want a
wall along our southern border, she doesn’t care about the rule of law, but the
moment she thinks someone wants to take her bicycle, she screams and yells. These liberals are such hypocrites. (warning: graphic
language)
Truly, though, it was
brilliant and welcome that President Trump handed over the DACA issue to Congress,
regardless of what the lawmakers wanted to do. The situation should have been
resolved by law, not executive fiat with a pen and phone. And that’s when I
really got busy. Six months is a long time, and yet not much time to promote or
prevent legislation. I am committed to seeing more enforcement, not more
amnesty. This country has been generous enough. It’s time to address our
manifold domestic concerns. A sharp reduction in legal immigration along with a
full stop to illegal immigration must be the call of the day.
I was in Washington,
D.C. for five days last year, and I whipped through every Congressional office
I could. I showed staffers the many videos my fellow conservative activists and
I had taken of the DACA brats and their violent supporters. They harassed
Congressmen all over Southern California, too. Did these arrogant, entitled
“kids” really think that Christmas trees, loud chants, and nasty pictures
haranguing Republicans were going to win over public support?
Nope.
Back home, it was a lot
of fun watching Congress punts from one spending bill to the next, and
Democrats could get nothing close to an amnesty or any form of legal status for
illegal aliens. Despite President Trump’s simplistic lip-service to offer a
pathway to citizenship for three times the population of DACA recipients, I
believed Trump was playing the Democrats like a harp from hell the whole time.
The Schumer Shutdown
shut down Democrats’ moral superiority on immigration. They made illegal aliens
more important than Americans, particularly our military. The second budget
battle gave way to massive spending (bad), but no immigration deals (good). The
open floor process collapsed before our very eyes. Even though I was a little
spooked to see eight Republicans push for more immigration and a mass amnesty,
every bad bill died.
And we won. March 5th,
2018 is upon us, and the left-wing, anti-social injustice warriors have nothing
to show for their screaming, yelling, cursing, swearing, and en masse
spending from George Soros. Life is good, and the Republic will endure.
Now, some critics and
concerned voices have reminded me of the judicial policy misconduct from two
federal district courts. Yes, they have blocked the full repeal of DACA, but
new applicants can no longer apply. Ultimately, this juridical problem is
another issue, beyond immigration. It’s time for Congress to crack down on
judicial tyranny. How about a nice repeal of Marbury vs. Madison for
starters? Then maybe Congress could get back to working within the framework of
its enumerated powers while restoring all other rights to the states and the
people.
Even though the United
States Supreme Court refused a fast-track review of the issue, the truth is
that the DOJ’s request was extraordinary to begin with. This program is on even
more shaky ground, and ICE is rounding up illegals like never before. For me,
the March 5th deadline for Congress to come up with a “solution” to
DACA is what matters. There is no solution, because this utter lawlessness, and
the decades of inaction and enabling from our federal government, didn’t need
another legislative band-aid.
With that, let me leave
you with now-deceased
Terry Anderson,
another conservative sage from South Central who testified twice before
Congress: “We don’t need any new laws. Enforce the ones we got.” The laws are
being enforced, finally. And we don’t have to feel guilty anymore. In a sense,
the illegal aliens’ dreams have been deferred, but the expectation of Americans
seeking law and order—that dream is finally being realized. This is a happy day
for me.
