…Progressive-Democrat style. Here’s Congresswoman Frederica Wilson (D, FL):
people who are “making fun of members of Congress” online “should be prosecuted”
Because, she went on, making fun of Congress intimidates Congressmen. In fact, she went on in that vein for more than 40 seconds, just in the recording.
Wow.
This one regards the rescue of those escaping from northern Africa and their disposition on arrival on European shores. The particular case concerns Italy’s arrest of a German national who is the captain of an NGO ship that had rescued a number of refugees whose ship was in danger in international waters in the middle of the Mediterranean. Carola Rakete, captain of the Sea-Watch 3, was arrested after she docked her ship at Italy’s Lampedusa, an island in the southern Med—and closer to Tunisia than to any land of Italy’s.
Kate Cronin-Furman, Assistant Professor of Human Rights at University College London—that’s London, Great Britain, mind you, not London, KY—thinks our Border Patrol agents should be doxed and then shamed for doing their jobs in trying to keep our borders secure and detaining illegal aliens.
Of course, she denies that her demand is doxing.
The identities of the individual Customs and Border Protection agents who are physically separating children from their families and staffing the detention centers are not undiscoverable. Immigration lawyers have agent names; journalists reporting at the border have names, photos and even videos.
There is some hue and cry over President Donald Trump’s threatened tariff on Mexico in an effort to get the Mexican government to take seriously its role in the crisis on our common border.
Critics of the tariffs, including those within the administration, have said the ratification of the pact would be threatened by the tariffs.
There’s no threat to ratification of the USMCA from these tariffs. There is a threat from the Progressive-Democrats who hate the treaty separately from this. However, the lack of threat is illustrated by Mexico; since the tariff threat, that government has said it still intends to ratify the treaty.
Recall that President Donald Trump has threatened a sequence of rising tariffs on all Mexican goods in an effort to get Mexico to take seriously its broad contribution to the crisis we have on our border with that nation.
Republican lawmakers are gearing up for a vote to potentially override President Trump’s planned tariff on Mexico this month….
These lawmakers are concerned that the tariffs could jeopardize passage of the USMCA, and they’re worried that they will hurt Americans. These folks have lost sight of some important facts.
Here’s another example, this one from Progressive-Democrat Ilhan Omar (D, MN). No link to her remark, she tweeted it and then didn’t have the courage to leave it up; she deleted quickly deleted it.
A “merit based” immigration policy is fueled by racism towards the Latinx community….
Sure. Because Hispanics are inherently inferior and wholly incapable of competing with other Americans or other immigrants without special treatment. That’s worse than the soft bigotry of low expectation which President Bush the Younger so rightly decried. That’s outright racism.
That silence you hear from the Progressive-Democratic Party is their open, straight-up agreement with Omar’s racist sewage.
…to President Donald Trump on Trump’s decision to begin, early this month, imposing tariffs on Mexican exports into the US. The letter can be read at The Wall Street Journal here.
I have a couple of thoughts on that letter.
We base our immigration policy on this thought. Human beings do not abandon their town for pleasure but for need.
With friends like this….
I’m a firm believer in tightly secured borders with legal entry points established at one-mile intervals along it and the elimination of visa quotas for those who want to come here legally, whether with a goal of gaining citizenship or just for long-term residency and work—so long as they pass tight vetting procedures.
A Letter to the Editor writer in Monday’s Wall Street Journal tried to make the same point, but his point was, and is, counterproductive.
The New York State Assembly wants to give drivers licenses to illegal aliens. The New York Immigration Coalition is completely on board and has begun pressuring the State’s Senate leadership to rubberstamp the Assembly on this. These Progressive-Democrats and their activist supporters rationalize the move this way:
He [NYIC Executive Director Steve Choi] said issuing licenses to immigrants would reduce hit-and-run-vehicle crashes, lower insurance costs and make it easier for immigrant laborers—including those working on farms—to get to work.
New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) has no understanding of duty or of law. It seems that an armed group of citizen militia caught 200 illegal aliens in the act of illegally entering our nation near Sunland Park, NM, and they detained those illegal aliens until US Border Patrol agents—which those citizens called—could arrive and take charge.
In her response to this, Grisham said,
It should go without saying that regular citizens have no authority to arrest or detain anyone[.]
