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.
The surge of 1,500 additional troops will bring the total at the border to 4,000, a 60% increase in active-duty ground forces. Trump reportedly intends to send around 10,000 troops to the border to support Border Patrol agents, according to the Washington Examiner. For now, they are tasked with providing military airlift to support Homeland Security deportation flights and with assisting in the construction of temporary and permanent physical barriers.
The Biden administration, under the auspices of “border czar” Vice President Kamala Harris, could have executed the same emergency measure at any time to get the border under control, but it did nothing but deny and deflect calls for action. Many Democrat leaders denied there was a crisis at all, or that any immigration issues were somehow Trump’s fault. Homeland Security honcho and open-borders enthusiast Alejandro Mayorkas claimed his department was “doing a good job” but he welcomed an influx of over 8 million illegal immigrants during the Biden years, and was so resistant to securing the border that he was impeached a year ago for high crimes and misdemeanors via his “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” and his “breach of public trust.” VP Harris herself couldn’t even be bothered to visit the border; instead she traipsed from one embassy cocktail party to another in Central and South America, purportedly investigating the “root causes” of migration such as “climate change.”
Now that Trump is back in the White House, the Hate-America Left is revving up resistance to his efforts to get the lawlessness of the Biden years under control. Democrat-controlled cities and states like California that have designated themselves as sanctuaries for illegal immigrants vow not to cooperate with ICE to deport even felons. Far-Left Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, for example, promised, “We will continue to fight for the justice and safety of all who call this place home.” Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said her State Police would “absolutely not” assist in immigration enforcement. Philadelphia’s far-Left D.A. Larry Krasner stated he would oppose “Trump’s fascist wish list” on immigration.
Why is today’s Democrat Party so hell-bent not only on facilitating the mass migration of unvetted foreigners, but on actively undermining U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) efforts to protect America from illegal aliens and felons? The obvious answer is that the Left is counting on converting the millions of border-crossers into Democrat voters in order to ensure permanent, one-party hegemony.
But that is only a part of a larger agenda. As Freedom Center founder David Horowitz observed at least as far back as his 2004 bestseller Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left, the Left is driven by a utopian vision to engineer a socially just heaven on earth. This enables them to “see themselves as the army of the saints and their opponents as the party of Satan.” According to this Marxist, Manichean worldview, America is not a land of opportunity and freedom for all but “a Satanic force in the modern world, the linchpin of a global order of hierarchy and privilege that is responsible for the misery of the world’s impoverished masses” which therefore must be dismantled to pave the way for social justice. America as it was founded cannot be reformed; it must be destroyed.
Since the 9/11 terror attacks on American soil, a movement emerged, as Horowitz writes, “to open our borders and establish rights for illegal aliens that would blur the distinction between citizens and noncitizens and extend the protections of the Constitution to the latter.” This movement, Horowitz continues, “which includes dozens of radical organizations, has targeted every effort by the Homeland Security Department under the Patriot Act to strengthen America’s borders.” The Left’s aim is to make of the border a sieve through which America is overwhelmed by unchecked immigration and its attendant lawlessness, from drug cartels to violent international gangs like Tre de Aragua carving out territory from coast-to-coast.
President Trump is slamming the door on that movement and its agenda. His non-nonsense border enforcer Tom Homan summed it up in a message he delivered after the November election to the Hate-America officials of sanctuary cities and states: “They better get the hell out of the way. Either you help us or get the hell out of the way, because ICE is going to do their job.”

“IMMIGRANTS from all over the world leave their countries due to the crime, corruption, and the lack of The Rule of Law, to come here, a country envied for its Rule of Law. LEGAL IMMIGRANTS stand in line to do it The Hard Way, The Long Way, The Right Way, and they are very bitter at all the help given for the ILLEGAL WAY when there was no one there to help them do it THE HONORABLE WAY! (Right hand raised in Allegiance, tears in their eyes, “It was all worth it.” What’s the Honor of doing it Illegally? Democrats don’t care about Honor, it’s all about future Votes and with those new millions, they could win every election giving them their American Dream: One-Party Rule! Viva Che!) ILLEGALS, and their supporters, including the Government, then DEMAND that we overlook our Laws for them making exactly like the lawless and corrupt country they just left!” SC
The NM AG, Raul Torres (D), and the Albuquerque DA, Sam Bregman (D), have declared that they will not enforce any of Trump’s Immigration, will not aid ICE, including banning them from businesses, schools, and jails. The OATH to follow ALL LAWS doesn’t have an “EXCEPT, you can pick and choose which laws to enforce and the ones you don’t want to enforce.” ANYTHING TRUMP WILL NOT BE ENFORCED! Surely more to follow.
NM, #1 in Crime, last in Education! NM has been ruled by (D) for ninety years and now pure Blue, three House, two Senate, and Governor. All of them are hardcore radicals with the House members voting against The Laken Riley Act and the Born Alive Amendment. NM was the First Sanctuary State in 1986 with Gov. Toney Anaya, a supporter of the Sandinistas and the Communist FMLN rebels in El Salvador and their attempt to overthrow the pro-US Government. Bill Richardson, the first to allow Drivers Licenses to ILLEGALS, now many states. ISN’T THAT A WAY TO CATCH THEM NOW since they have an address? BAN HIRING THEM! BAN RENTING TO THEM!
Ah Steve, I love this state, but you make me think of moving (where, though?). That’s sad about Bregman. Over the years, he has seemed sensible, at times.
Torres and Begram will both find themselves charged with conspiracy and aiding and abetting if they try to actually do that.
The Democraps who pull that stunt should all find themselves outfitted with orange jumpsuits and doing consecutive terms in Federal pens.
Larry… what it’s going to take is one of them, or their family member, becomes a victim of an illegal. Many are so brainwashed that they’d probably still side with the illegal!
Raul Torres, former DA in Albuquerque, was also responsible for what we were calling “Turnstile Justice.” They get arrested, have their first hearing, and then let go to then commit another crime within 24 hours.
Bregman bragged that he was going to be tough on crime, acting somewhat sane, and then this.
What must be mentioned is that Torres and Bregman are slaves to SOROS who funded their campaigns. Other monies came from ACT BLUE.
👶 Anchor Babies: Babies who suck
⚓ on the tit of Lady 🗽 Liberty. • °°
Round them up and send them Back and lets send the Demo-Rats and Welcome Refugee fools with them
Whenever a flaming liberal starts crying about deporting children born here, tell them Obama & Sleepy deported the entire Romeike family (from Germany) . . . an immigrant family in which TWO of their children were born here on U.S. soil
Since flaming democrats are so concerned about illegal alien kids born here, why did they gladly condone Sleepy signing off on the Romeike’s deportation?
The same Sleepy Joe who flung our borders open to all Chinese communist subversionists, convicts, islamic jihadists joining sleeper cells, facially tattooed thugs, and welfare queens.
Standards couldn’t have been set lower.
Yet, Obama & Eric Holder were apparently put off with the Romeike family because they were ¹in tact/functional, ²spoke fluent English, ³highly intelligent, ⁴well educated, ⁵law abiding, ⁶hard working, ⁷employed, ⁸refusing welfare, ⁹protestant Christian, ¹⁰home-schoolers, and most repulsive to Holder, ¹¹white.
The left sees such virtues as character flaws, so they made sure the Romeikes were shown the door out; proving that leftist pricks never really believed their own argument about “Anchor babies are citizens!!”.
(Also worth noting: When Jug-eared Barry brought over all those Syrian “refugees”, he made sure Christian Syrians were specifically excluded.)
If it weren’t for hypocrisy, Democrats wouldn’t have any standards at all.
Larry Krasner’s reference to “Trump’s fascist wish list” is either blatant ignorance or media troll bait for the weak minded. Arguably the most notorious fascist in history had no problem breaching whatever border suited his whim. Krasner insults our intelligence when he implies that maintaining national borders is a fundamental of fascism. We could all have a good laugh if he attempted to explain WTF he was talking about.
The Constitution is not a suicide pact. It doesn’t give free reign to our enemies to subvert and destroy our country from within.
Let this Communist Control Act of 1954 be a guide to creating a law against those who promulgate global intifada and Islamic terrorism. This sets a precedent for laws against those who have entered our country with the intent of doing her harm and destroying her from within.
Here is President Eisenhower’s statement:
https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/statement-the-president-upon-signing-the-communist-control-act-1954
This legal precedent gives the administration guidance on going after domestic enemies both Marxists and Islamists.
It is time to turn the tables. As Schmuck Scummer said, those who sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
If elected Officials in any State block ICE from doing what ICE is there for then they themselves are breaking the Laws of the Land and so should be arrested.
If you are harboring people who have broken the Law of the Land then you are complicit in Aiding and Abetting and so should be arrested..
Dont the DemocRATS scream about equal treatment under the Law…Well this is what equal treatment looks like…
