The Left’s obsession with illegal immigration gets weirder
Washington Examiner ^ | 11 Jul, 2025 | Zachary Faria

The Left’s obsession with illegal immigration is getting worse, and weirder, as it strains to resist any and all attempts to enforce immigration law.

The immigration raids in and around Los Angeles have resulted in more violent actions from “protesters” and more ridiculous defenses from Democratic politicians. On the latter front, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) called President Donald Trump “scum” for a raid that resulted in “Kids running from tear gas, crying on the phone because their mother was just taken from the fields.”

Weirdly, Newsom did not think to find out why nearly a dozen children were out in fields in the hot Camarillo sun in the first place. Unless the marijuana facility that runs the farm was having a Take Your Child to Work Day, there does not seem to be an innocent explanation available. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott claims that all 10 children at the facility were illegal immigrants, that eight of them were unaccompanied, meaning their mothers were not being taken from the fields as Newsom claimed, and that the facility is now being investigated for child labor violations.

Either Newsom plans on making illegal immigrant child labor for every marijuana farm part of his 2028 campaign, or he recklessly dove into a story he didn’t know anything about because he is trying to defend illegal immigration. To say neither option is a good look would be an understatement.

Meanwhile, new video shows a “protester” firing some sort of gun at federal agents while activists showed their support for alleged illegal immigrant child labor at marijuana farms. The best-case scenario is that this was not a real gun, and that the offender in question was merely assaulting federal agents while risking the possibility that agents would open fire on him, putting the lives of other protesters in danger. Obviously, the worst-case scenario is that it was a real gun, and this man was trying to kill federal agents, adding him to a growing list of violent left-wing thugs trying to kill law enforcement officers.

On the political front, Democrats continue fighting to unmask federal agents. The stated goal of this is to hold ICE officers accountable, which is ridiculous. Unlike masked left-wing rioters, ICE is an agency. Democrats can hold ICE “accountable” whenever they wish. The actual, unstated goal of this is to allow left-wing mobs to harass individual federal agents and scare them off the job. There has yet to be a good argument against allowing ICE officers, who are arresting cartel members and criminals, to wear masks.

Things are only going to get crazier. Democrats are doing everything in their power to defend illegal immigration at any and all costs. The violence will escalate because Democrats refuse to prosecute their violent activist base. Democrats are going to continue to whitewash the offenses committed by illegal immigrants and the people employing them, because they refuse to acknowledge that violent criminal illegal immigrants and employers undermining employment laws are bad things. They can’t admit any of this because they are obsessed with defending the practice of illegal immigration itself.

Concerning the gun a protester had, he pointed it but I didn’t see any muzzle flash.

And the GOP’s obsession with amnesty (that they claim isn’t amnesty) is better? They are two hands to the same body.

Svartalfiar is correct that the Dems boosted the stats for the Obama regime’s border enforcement by merely redefining what counts as a deportation - not unlike how crime stats go down when Dem-dominated governments reclassify felonies as misdemeanors. Good yob!

A dope farm in violation of federal law is “being investigated for child labor violations.”

Is this a great country or what?

Americans are so lazy that the cartels have to employ child labor to get the drugs harvested. Slothful gringos are like the animals Henny Penny asked for help from - too busy doing nothing to bring it in but always ready to consume it. Poor little brown kids toiling away to provide you a buzz and this is how they get treated? Shame!

Seriously though, a former classmate of mine, a totally brainwashed Democrat, constantly sends me their propaganda. I consider them word puzzles to see how few words I can use to drive her into a spluttering rage.

Yesterday she said only ICE agents indulge in behavior so heinous that they have to hide their identities with masks.

I replied: If you don’t count AntIfa, BLM and deluded pro-terrorist college students when they’re blocking traffic or destroying things. No reply back yet.

This form of government can and should collapse if it proves unable to enforce laws passed by large bipartisan majorities and signed by Presidents from Coolidge through Reagan.

Illegals are a problem - a big one. Armed resistance to valid laws is a bigger one.

“ How did obama manage to round up and deport 2.4 million of them so quietly?”

The Obama administration counted persons not permitted entry (stopped at the border) as “deportations”.

There were very few removals from the interior.

I am in the minority here but I believe the GOP is actually worse than the Democrats, just like a knife in the back is harder to defend against that an attack from the front.

It is strikingly similar to Osama bin Laden’s marijuana farming setup in Sudan. Bin Laden bought his child slaves directly from the slave traders rather than pretend they were “dreamers.”

So, all the other businesses have to pay minimum wage. Wonder what the wage was, if any, for a juvenile weed picker at this ganja farm?

Easy fix: Remove govt from that which it has ZERO Const. authority (IE: the illegal ‘welfare’ system in this instance) *shrug*

Shame only the (L) leaners (Massie, Paul, etc.) even flirt w/ these ideas
