The only good immigrant is a legal immigrant

This is my morning coffee as I write this!

My good friend — OK, OK, I doubt he considers himself my good friend — Will Bunch, the far-left national columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer, seems to think that this is terribly, terribly important! From The Wall Street Journal:

The White House Marching Orders That Sparked the L.A. Migrant Crackdown

After deportations fell short of President Trumpā€™s campaign promises, federal agents summoned to a meeting in Washington were told to ā€˜just go out there and arrest illegal aliensā€™

By Elizabeth Findell, Ruth Simon, Michelle Hackman, and Tarini Parti | Monday, June 9, 2025 | 9:00 PM EDT

Even with the high-profile arrests of suspects by masked immigration agents and the plane loads of migrants swiftly ferried out of the U.S., President Trump was falling short of the number of daily deportations carried out by the Biden administration in its final year.

So in late May, Stephen Miller, a top White House aide and the architect of the presidentā€™s immigration agenda, addressed a meeting at the headquarters of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE. The message was clear: The president, who promised to deport millions of immigrants living in the country illegally, wasnā€™t pleased. The agency had better step it up. Continue reading →

Leaping before they looked Bad causes attract bad people, and the Democrats certainly chose a bad cause!

It has to be asked: did President Trump and his staff just plain set up the Democrats for failure?

Following the arrest and deportation of the “Maryland man” Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the left waxed wroth and have trumped it up that his deportation was unjustified, that Mr Abrego Garcia was as pure as the wind driven snow. Several Democratic lawmakers even traveled to El Salvador, to try to rescue the poor, abused soul and return him to the United States.

Will Bunch says the quiet part out loud The left want to eliminate all immigration law enforcement

Some of our good friends on the left in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia simply want to eliminate law enforcement entirely. The city’s George Soros-sponsored, police-hating and criminal-loving District Attorney, Larry Krasner, has been twice elected, and I will be completely unsurprised if The Philadelphia Inquirer in general, and far-left columnist Will Bunch individually endorse Mr Krasner for re-nomination.

“Working Families Party” criminal justice organizer — whatever that title means! — Sergio Hyland, who had previously served 22 years for murder before being paroled in February of 2022, was just arrested for the early morning murder of Jasimane Ransom on July 11, 2024. When officers arrested Mr Hyland at his East Germantown home, they recovered three rifles, two handguns, and multiple rounds of ammunition inside. As a previously convicted felon, Mr Hyland was legally prohibited from possessing firearms. He was not a good guy.

Just eight days before his arrest, the Working Families Party issued a joint news release from Hyland and District Attorney Larry Krasner, announcing its endorsement of Krasner in his campaign for a third term as top prosecutor. Continue reading →

Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the rectum here] to do things right President Trump tries to break the 'anchor baby' chain.

According to Wikipedia, the term “anchor baby” is defined as:

Anchor babyĀ is a term (regarded by some as aĀ pejorative[1][2]) used to refer to a child born to non-citizen parents in a country that hasĀ birthright citizenshipĀ which will therefore help the parents and other family members gain legal residency[3]Ā or avoid deportation. In the U.S., the term is generally used as a derogatory reference to the supposed role of the child, who automatically qualifies as anĀ American citizenĀ underĀ jus soliĀ and the rights guaranteed in theĀ Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.[4][5][6]Ā The term is also often used in the context of the debate overĀ illegal immigration to the United States.[7]Ā A similar term, “passport baby”, has been used in Canada for children born through so-called “maternity” or “birth tourism“.[8][9]

Good news out of Philadelphia! A Philly cop turned an illegal immigrant over to ICE despite city's 'sanctuary city' status

Deportation machines abound at local convenience stores! šŸ™‚

Philadelphia is like a lot of major cities, declaring itself to be a ‘sanctuary’ city for all immigrants, by which they meant illegal immigrants. The city government was not going to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Well, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported some good news on that front.

Charges against a man were dismissed. Then a Philly police officer escorted him into ICE custody.

A judge had dismissed charges against the Dominican National when, according to his lawyer, court and sheriff staff said he was wanted by ICE officers. A Philly police officer then stepped in.

Requiescat in Pace, Pope Francis

My Twitter — I refuse to call it š• — feed was full of chortling posts claiming that the Vatican denied Vice President J D Vance a meeting with Pope Francis, sending the Vatican’s second-ranking official instead, in what the left loudly proclaimed was a deliberate snub to Mr Vance.

That’s not quite what it was.

The story behind JD Vanceā€™s unlikely visit with Pope Francis

Vance and Francis had publicly disagreed in recent months on immigration policies and other aspects of church teaching.

Another Philly illegal immigration sob story

There were so many interesting headlines in today’s news that it has been difficult for me to choose just one on which to write.

But, as always, there is the newspaper that I frequently refer to as The Philadelphia Enquirer, which is not actually spelled that way. RedState writer Mike Miller called it the Enquirer, probably by mistake, so I didnā€™t originate it, but, reminiscent of the National Enquirer as it is, I think it very apt. And this morning, it was opinion columnist Jenice Armstrong, one of the Usual Suspects:

Her husband was outside, yelling for her when ICE grabbed him. She hasnā€™t seen him in person since.

This is what winning looks like President Trump was right all along: we didn't have to accept some illegal immigration to reduce illegal immigration in total; we could fight illegal immigration without compromise.

One of President Trump’s main campaign promises was to close the border to illegal immigration. It’s easier to intercept and interrupt illegal border crossing than it is to round up illegal immigrants already in the United States, and that policy is absolutely working. Not only are the Border Patrol undertaking stronger efforts to stop the illegals from crossing, but the President’s policies have discouraged many more from even trying.

The Los Angeles Times is one of America’s (formerly) great newspapers, and of an extremely liberal editorial slant. But even that newspaper has to tell the truth sometimes:

California-Mexico border, once overwhelmed, now nearly empty

That thing that never happens has happened again

The murder of Laken Riley by JosĆ© Antonio Ibarra, an illegal immigrant released into the US by Customs and Border Patrol during the Biden Administration because the surge in apprehended border crossers had worsened to a point where they did not have enough space at a detention facility to hold him, was a rare, rare event, certainly nothing over which to criticize our 46th President’s compassionate immigration policies. Such criticism was inflamed by the evil reich-wing former President Donald Trump, for political gain, don’t you know.
