An end to illegal immigration — and the 'debate' surrounding it?

By Eric Utter www.americanthinker.com

Can we end this stupid illegal immigration “debate” once and for all?

The U.S. economy is not dependent on illegal aliens.

And it is incredibly demeaning to them to say things like, “Who will clean our pools, tend our gardens, cook our food … and wipe our arses?”

Wages go up with a lower supply of labor, and Americans will do those jobs. That's Economics 101.

But the main thing is the main thing, as they say, and 8 billion people won’t fit in this country.

Neither will four billion — or two. We’ve seen the rapid and catastrophic degradation of many large American cities — and virtually all sanctuary cities -- over the course of the Autopen years.

This has been due in no small part to the 10 million to 15 million illegals who have crossed over the border during this time. Imagine the ecological destruction, pollution -- and the strain on infrastructure, hospitals, police forces, etc., etc., if we continue on with unfettered immigration.

It is simply untenable and unsustainable.

We know the enlightened residents of Martha’s Vineyard don’t want thousands of undocumented migrants hanging around. How many of us really want to see our communities, roads, byways, and lakes, for example, get ever more crowded?

And what if it went the other way? What if the tables were turned? If, as Rep. Ilhan Omar says, the U.S. is becoming “one of the worst countries in the world,” what if 12 million or 15 million of us decided to leave it and walk into El Salvador, Ecuador, or Costa Rica?

Should those countries be obligated, morally or otherwise, to accept us all? If we migrated to France or Fiji? What if we opened up our jails and prisons and told the erstwhile inmates to head to Mexico or parts south? Or to Canada?

And what if, upon arriving in those nations, we protested against them, burning and looting and harassing their law-enforcement personnel as we went … while carrying American flags?! Think they’d be pleased?

No, this is not about opportunity, “fairness,” humanitarianism, or even jobs. It is much the opposite. This is about sowing chaos and destroying social fabric and cohesion. It is ultimately about “fundamentally transforming” (destroying) the United States. Period.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but no one is entitled to “their own truth.” Because there is no such thing. Just because a man wants to believe he is a woman, or a woman wants to believe two plus two equals seven, doesn’t make it so. Diversity is not always inherently good. Reason, sanity, and objective truth* are. And they are becoming ever scarcer politically, economically, and culturally. Certain policies, for example, have been historically proven to work. Others have continually been proven to be abject failures.

And, because nearly all of the policies Democrats promote have been historically proven to be abject failures, Democrats and their mainstream media mouthpieces must obstruct and cover-up these truths. Hence, misinformation, “fake news,” and deliberate deception. And, other than Democrats, who is “the great deceiver?” The devil himself. Satan.

*Objective truth refers to that which exists and remains valid regardless of personal feelings, cultural differences, or subjective perspectives. It stands above opinion and preference, indicating that some truths are universally applicable and not influenced by individual beliefs. In essence, objective truth is the idea that certain things will always be true, and others will always be false, independent of human perception

 

Finally, just maybe Congress can prove itself as doing something right!

 

Congress moves to abolish sanctuary cities and states—it’s about time

By Susan Quinn www.americanthinker.com

The progressives have had their way for far too long when it comes to illegal immigration. Republicans have tolerated their insistence on harboring illegal aliens and criminals, and the time has finally arrived to stop this violation of the law and provide safety and security for our citizens. Both the Executive Branch and Congress are stepping up to honor the rule of law.

On January 22, several Republican Senators promoted a new bill on the issue:

Today, Senators Ted Budd (R-NC), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Katie Britt (R-AL), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Tim Sheehy (R-MT), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), James Lankford (R-OK), and Mike Rounds (R-SD) introduced the Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act. 

The bill would allow the victims of murders, rapes, and other felonies committed by illegal aliens to sue sanctuary states or cities that failed to honor a detainer request. The legislation also bans certain federal grants to sanctuary jurisdictions. Senator Budd twice led this legislation in the U.S. House in 2019 and 2021.

Both senators Tillis and Budd made powerful statements in support of this bill. Here is Senator Tillis’s statement, in part:

‘I am committed to working with President Trump to end illegal immigration and fight sanctuary cities that prioritize reckless, lawless policies over public safety. It is clear that liberal politicians want to put political ideology ahead of the safety of their constituents. It is time for Congress to step in and hold sanctuary cities accountable.’

The House proposed a similar bill to stop these violations of federal law, initiated by Rep. Chris Langworthy:

Today, Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23) introduced the Stop Dangerous Sanctuary Cities Act of 2025 to block federal funding for sanctuary jurisdictions that prohibit or restrict local law enforcement from sharing immigration status information or cooperating with federal immigration enforcement efforts. Sanctuary cities are actively undermining federal immigration enforcement by refusing to cooperate with ICE detainer requests and releasing dangerous criminals back onto our streets. It’s time to hold them accountable. 

Additionally, this legislation clarifies legal authority for local and state law enforcement to honor federal immigration detainer requests by deeming officers who comply to be acting as federal agents. It protects law enforcement by shielding officers and jurisdictions from liability when they cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. The bill also encourages compliance with federal immigration law by targeting jurisdictions that defy lawful detainer requests and shield illegal immigrants from removal.

Cities and states are also willing to pay dearly for the cost of allowing illegal aliens in their locations. The cost of feeding and boarding them can be enormous; educating their children, many who don’t speak English, is significant. They are also putting ICE officers in danger by alerting protestors that the officers will be working in their areas. 

States and local governments have already demonstrated that they are more concerned with protecting illegal aliens than protecting their cities. But the federal government is no longer sitting back and allowing this violation of the law:

Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a comprehensive list of sanctuary jurisdictions including cities, counties, and states that are deliberately obstructing the enforcement of federal immigration laws and endangering American citizens. Sanctuary cities protect dangerous criminal illegal aliens from facing consequences and put law enforcement in grave danger. [snip] The order directs the Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and the Attorney General Pam Bondi to identify and publicly highlight jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

[snip]

Each jurisdiction listed will receive formal notification of its non-compliance and all potential violations of federal criminal statutes. DHS demands that these jurisdictions immediately review and revise their policies to align with federal immigration laws and renew their obligation to protect American citizens, not dangerous illegal aliens.

Some cities are pushing back on this effort to identify them:

Baltimore’s Mayor Brandon Scott said on X that Baltimore is ‘not a sanctuary city,’ noting that Baltimore does not control the city’s jails. Jails are a key area where ICE cooperates with local law enforcement authorities so it can be notified when immigrants are going to be released.

But Scott also said the city made no apologies for being a ‘welcoming city’ and said it was preparing for litigation if needed to protect the city’s immigrant community and the money it gets from the federal government.

‘We are better because of our immigrant neighbors, and are not about to sell them out to this administration,’ Scott said.

Mayor Scott is manipulating the meaning of the law to his own benefit to protect the illegal aliens, and hopefully he won’t be successful.

On the other hand, Gov. Glenn Youngkin has been clear about supporting the rule of law and taking action against illegal aliens:

Glenn Youngkin, Governor of Virginia, unveiled a budget proposal that would mandate that local law enforcement fully comply with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)) detainers and notify officials 48 hours before releasing an undocumented immigrant who has committed a crime.

The ‘No Sanctuary Cities’ initiative would legally mandate full compliance with ICE and proposes withholding funding from counties that purport to be  ‘sanctuary’ cities or enact practices impeding cooperation with ICE. 

[snip]

Youngkin also threatened to cut state funding if counties obstruct ICE efforts or adopt ‘sanctuary city’ policies could face state funding cuts.

‘Virginia is not a sanctuary state, and we must be clear that we will not allow localities to become 'sanctuary cities.' If local governments turn their backs on their citizens in order to pander to pro-illegal immigrant groups, we will cut off their funding.’

Finally, we have the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch cooperating and united in an effort to protect our borders, our national security, our citizens, and the rule of law!

 

California - its Governor - have become the laughing stock of the entire nation!

 

Newsom claims Trump's immigration enforcement interferes with wildfire containment

By Monica Showalter www.americanthinker.com

In the annals of hypocrisy, it's hard to top California's governor, Gavin Newsom.

In a speech yesterday, he came up with a creative new reason to try to stop President Trump's immigration enforcement.

According to KTLA:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom says that President Donald Trump’s “illegal militarization” of Los Angeles is hamstringing firefighting resources across the state, just as peak fire season begins. 

Joint Task Force Rattlesnake is made up of over 300 California National Guard members who work at the direction of Cal Fire to help fight and prevent wildfires.  

All 14 Rattlesnake teams responded to the catastrophic wildfires that ravaged Pacific Palisades and Altadena in January, but according to Newsom’s office, only nine are now available since federal officials deployed the National Guard – and they are all “significantly understaffed.” 

So suddenly, he's interested in fire-fighting out in drought-plagued, uncleared brushlands in California.

That's news to us, given his miserable failure in the last round of fires last January, which cost the state two cities.

And to say that California can't fight fires without its National Guard is heckuva thing to say in the era of empty reservoirs, unfired water officials on $750,000 salaries, and dry water hydrants. Did anyone put the fires out in Pacific Palisades and Altadena, at least when it counted? 

He's laying the whole success of fighting California's wildfires on the National Guard, as if he can't get out-of-state firefighters as well as Mexican and Canadian ones, as was done last January.

But the more significant point is that he failed to protect federal worksites and federal employees doing their jobs who found themselves under sustained attack by Newsom's leftist allies. That necessitated President Trump's call to the National Guard. He would have had his National Guard at his disposal if the federal workers didn't need protection from leftist rioters demanding an end to immigration enforcement, burning cars, looting shops, throwing lit objects down onto police from an overpass and waving their Mexican flags.

He did nothing, now he doesn't have the guard.

Here's the other thing: 

Newsom's statement unintentionally calls attention to the hard and uncomfortable fact that illegals are setting many of these fires. The biggest fire in San Diego during the January heat wave was in eastern Chula Vista, near the Mexican border. It was set by illegals. A fire in Sylmar around the same time was also an illegal alien job. There have been others, particularly from the Mexican cartels who are allowed to roam freely.

Just doing the arson Americans won't do, Gav?

So now he wants President Trump to call off his immigration enforcement to make up for his land mismanagement, his failure to protect law enforcement, and his squandered water resources.

That's a nonstarter. And Newsom is nothing but a clown: Nothing but a Clown

 

The devastating consequences of illegal alien invaders are so numerous, it is difficult to list them all!

 

California creates another problem for all of us: Illegal alien CDL drivers stealing semi-truck hauls

By Olivia Murray www.americanthinker.com

What happens in California (or any other Democrat-run state) doesn’t stay in California (or any other Democrat-run state), and here is yet another example, from an article published yesterday at Breitbart News:

‘Authorities in a recent cargo theft bust recovered more than $1.6M in stolen electronics recovered from a tractor-trailer owned by someone whose CDL stated their first name was ‘No Name Given’ and their last name was ‘Diamond,’’ reported Overdrive.

The haul was actually stolen from the Dallas airport, but the three suspects, two of whom are illegal aliens, were only apprehended in Flagstaff, Arizona as the thieves were on their way back to California.

This is why it does matter to us what those Golden State idiots do. They’re currently tens of billions of dollars in the financial hole with federal dollars inevitably coming to the rescue, which means my taxes and your taxes. Californians who aren’t far-left, but are still left, flee to our conservative strongholds and bring the same problems that destroyed their home state. And, the state-promoted criminality inevitably spreads, as it did here.

According to the same Breitbart piece, the fact that someone was given a California CDL with a last name only (a fake-sounding one at that) isn’t really a big deal to the state DMV, because foreigners from the world’s most backwards hellholes on Earth don’t always come with two names:

A California DMV spokesperson defended the driver having a CDL, saying it aligns with the law and stems from cases whereby individuals, such as some from Afghanistan, have only one name, per U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

I’m sorry, but why are we importing people from a culture this inferior? One-named low-life bandits? What kind of moron thought that hiring criminals (that’s what all illegal aliens are) wouldn’t end in more crime? I know the Democrats would take great offense at this, but immigrants have a responsibility to come legally, and improve their host nation.

Is California the one handing out CDLs to the illegals who keep killing American citizens on the road? Or is that some other Democrat-run state? Recall this story, from August 2024:

Fury at DA after illegal migrant truck driver who killed Colorado man faces just 1 year in prison

The fantasy that moving to a “red” area isolates you from the leftist insanity is just that—a fantasy.
