dems are too clever by half.
One cannot peruse X without reading a democrat whine about the treatment of illegal aliens. A host of democrat mayors and governors have pledged not to cooperate with ICE and the Feds but in so doing are actually helping Donald Trump deport those who have illegally broken into the country.
MSNBC political Analyst Tim Miller claims that it’s un-American for the Trump administration to deport illegal aliens.
Was it also un-American to open our borders and let millions pour in over the last four years?

There is no end to the virtual signaling going on among dem leaders who refuse to cooperate with ICE and the Feds.
NEW: A @FoxNews producer asked LA Mayor Karen Bass this morning if she would be willing to meet with ICE and if there is a deal to be made re: ICE cooperation.
Bass said the only deal is for ICE to go home, and she gave no indication she would be willing to meet w/ the agency.

Congratulations to them all. They are making the lives of illegal aliens even worse. Tom Homan has repeatedly said that criminal illegal aliens are the priority. Homan has also indicated that while the focus is on criminal aliens, “collateral arrests” of non-criminal undocumented immigrants may occur during operations, particularly in sanctuary cities that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
So, by not identifying and holding the real criminals, ICE has no alternative but to go into communities and businesses to find and apprehend the criminals. The lower priority everyday illegal alien who gets caught up in the action is then designated for deportation.
More illegal aliens will be deported and deported faster thanks to these clever democrats.
Donald Trump sends his thanks.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
It’s funny that even as they demand “due process”, their violent terrorists attack ICE officers as they execute valid, lawful warrants issued by judges. No, “due process” outrage is bullshit. They simply want to protect their new slave class.
If they want “Due Process” THEY WOULD NOT BE HERE. They broke the lawing here!
Saaid thousands of times the last 80years
LIBERALS LIE!
Always have allays will!
The Democrats are painting themselves into a Corner without knowing it
What I don’t understand is these folks utter inability to comprehgend the difference between LEGAL Immigrant and ILLEGAL ALIEN.
