Quote:Crossing the border illegally is a crime; it can be prosecuted as a felony.

A nation without borders cannot claim to be a country, for if there is no boundary or dividing line that separates a People from the rest of the world, the country and its exclusive claim to particular rights and privileges loses all its meaning.

When Leftist agitators, aided and abetted by their Democratic Party leaders, scream “no person is illegal,” they are engaging in one of the most destructive, anti-civilizational and Marxist chants imaginable.

To deny borders is to deny citizenship, which in turns means a denial of the constitutional order and a denial of the United States of America.

The Constitution begins with its famous preamble, “We the People,” not “Citizens of the World.” Implicit in every attack on border security measures is an attack on the constitutional liberties we all should hold dear.

In Minneapolis, we have observed a breakdown of civilization in real-time. We have also observed what happens to a society when the anti-civilization forces that would bring it to heel are allowed to run rampant throughout a city.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey embodied these tendencies on overdrive.

Neither one cares about the country because they have unleashed chaos on a nationwide law enforcement operation intended to restore the rule of law, beginning with the reestablishment of the basic principle of citizenship.

Immigration control is a two-part exercise. The first part requires securing the border from outside invaders, which the Trump administration has done with resounding success over the past year. This is no small achievement.

It is made all the more remarkable by the fact that over the preceding four-year time period, upwards of 20 million illegal aliens, from origins all over the world, flooded into the country with near impunity.

The border was so porous that caravans of illegal aliens, including a sizable number of human traffickers, drug cartels, terrorists, and repeat felony offenders, were able to penetrate the American homeland, and do so without worry that they would be tracked down, charged, and prosecuted by the justice system.

This was because the Biden regime established a de facto lawless or anarchic state of affairs; criminals, and particularly illegal aliens, were given blanket immunity because of the near-term political advantages such a policy gave them.

Aside from dead voters, illegal aliens and their kin represented a constituency that topped the list for reliable Democratic voters. But more fundamentally, the idea of citizenship was a moral affront to the Democratic sensibility.

Citizenship implies nations, which in turn implies borders. The concept of borders, of course, became anathema to liberals at some point over the last ten or fifteen years or so, finally rising to become the default position of the mainstream Democratic Party in the Biden era.

It is this borderless ethos, paired with a lionization of the criminal, that continues to drive the ideologies and, derivative of that, political decisions of Tim Walz and Jacob Frey. It explains each of their respective actions in Minneapolis.

They have agitated a standoff with ICE and Border Patrol agents because they view these agencies as the enemy.

This subversive worldview has been supported by Democrats in Congress, like Chuck Schumer and Elizabeth Warren, who are now threatening to withhold DHS (ICE) appropriations in the upcoming spending bill as long as the border security agencies continue to function in their current forms. The question few have asked is: what is the alternative?

Under the Department of Homeland Security, there are three separate agencies dedicated to mass deportations and border security: ICE, Border Patrol, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigrant Services.

The fact that three such agencies exist, more or less committed to the same assignment, speaks to the importance of border security operations for America’s overall national security.

It also, more broadly, speaks to a deeper commitment to the philosophy of citizenship, and the attendant requirement of strong borders in order to fully confer to Americans the fruits of their civilizational birthright.

For Democrats, however, all these things are immoral. They would prefer ICE be abolish, DHS be defunded, and Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller be impeached.

But America can only remain a special place in the larger world if it has a benchmark by which to distinguish itself from the rest of the world.

That benchmark then requires borders, and the policies of border control enforcement that makes nationhood persist.

Deportations may be an ugly policy for television, but it is an absolutely essential prerequisite for the preservation of civic identity.

Sometimes – more often than not – the more uncontroversial policies are the essential policies that keep a nation safeguarded, its freedoms preserved, and justice intact.

ICE and CBP may be the names of the operations, but what they represent are necessary measures that all proper nations have in order to keep the very notion of sovereignty alive.

If a nation forgets what those harsher truths entail from a policy perspective, as we have most recently observed under Biden, an administration that systematically neutered DHS deportation operations, the outcome is disastrous.

Disaster will always be the end result of such policies. Let us, as a conservative movement, not repeat those same mistakes, and continue to support ICE and CBP until the 20 million illegal aliens, who broke the law to enter the United States, are returned to their native lands – never to be seen or heard from again.

He aint wrong.

And this is all happening in just one state right now. Within a few short months, if not dealt with now, we'll start seeing the actions from the left spread across the country. Right now it's just going on in a few large cities. Once it becomes a normal behavior in the minds of these "revolutionaries"—which is how they romanticize their involvement— it will start to show up in smaller cities and towns.

I find it puzzling how these people can overlook the usually innate instinct for self-preservation and allow themselves to be turned into unwitting pawns in a movement that ultimately threatens their very existences. Are we using chemicals, our food supply, or our drinking water to erode the minds of vulnerable individuals? Is it microwaves? The timing seems to line up. Is it all a never-ending series of psy-ops? Something has been introduced into the American experience over the last 60–80 years that has found a home in impressionable minds, which have been cultivated, nay, indoctrinated, through attendance at public schools across the country to accept what the media tells them.

It's showing up among our elderly now too. People we would never have expected to come out in support of the left are jumping in with both feet. I strongly suspect a significant financial incentive is present and that the support is not genuine.

The changes to our daily lives may not be truly evident for as long as decades, or they could manifest themselves tomorrow. Perhaps they already have, and we just haven't paid attention to them as they occur incrementally.
I saw my children just about every day of their young lives, and the differences in their appearances weren't nearly as noticeable to me over the course of a year as they were to someone who hadn't seen them in a year. All of which is to say that we don't see the changes from day to day, but look back even 5 years, and the differences between the left then and now are stark and should be gravely concerning.

I ran across a book I read in 2008 just this morning. It's called Stealth Jihad by Robert Spencer. On the first page of the introduction titled "Terrorism Without Terror," it includes this statement:

If the terrorists have an ideology, many Americans assume it is an extreme and perverted version of Islam that twists the peaceful teachings of the Qur'an into a license to kill. They further suppose that the ideological component is minor; they believe that Islamic terrorism is an activity engaged in primarily by the desperately poor, the ignorant, and the manipulated, and that it needs to be countered with education and compassionate hearts-and-minds initiatives and financial incentives as much as with military or law enforcement action. Senator Joe Biden (D-Delaware) summed up this point of view when he asserted that "to compare terrorism with an all-encompassing ideology like communism and fascism is evidence of profound confusion." That's something he may actually know something about.

The following is in reference to an article, written by Lawrence Wright for the New Yorker, falsely presenting the threat we face from Islam as having been contained because of dysfunction within Al-Qaida at that time.

"Unfortunately, reality—as is usually the case—is not quite so comforting. The subject of Wright's piece, Sayyid Iman al-Sharif, also known as "Dr. Fadl," does not reject the idea that Muslims must strive to subjugate unbelievers under the rule of Islamic law. He simply advocates for a change in strategy: less terrorism, more stealth jihad. This revelation shouldn't make Americans go back to sleep; it should spur them to become aware of the ways in which the jihadist agenda of Islamic supremacy is advancing without guns and bombs."

This is the ideology of Walz and Frey. We were warned about it when Lord Zero took office, we ignored the warnings and now we are left to deal with the fallout that has barely just begun to start.

My early take is that Trump is moving too slowly to deal with this properly in MN. I don't have enough inside info yet to figure out how best to deal with it, but the reports about their talks with each other, and the first steps, doesn't seem all that promising, given Walz' and Frey's statements after the phone calls.

Also not sure how Homan becomes a calming yet effective influence. We'll see. I recall Mamdani screaming at Homan when Zohran was still a city councilman. And Homan hadn't said a word. Just his presence sets the crazies on fire. Way more so than Bovino.

“Hulk” Homan should arrive in Minneapastan wearing the medal that Obama awarded him just to further agitate the crazy leftist loons
