How Democrat Mayors and Governors are unwittingly helping Trump deport illegal aliens

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?

And perhaps the most ironic one of all

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.

The list of Mayors and Governors refusing to cooperate with ICE is lengthy:

What Dems really want is one thing, and one thing only: power.

So if they think publicly resisting ICE deportations helps them achieve power, then that’s what they will do. And if illegals get screwed as a result, that’s too bad for the illegals.

[ConservativeMind]

You shove them into vans so they get reviewed, then ejected forcefully out the backs of planes, Representative Ted Lieu.

[MrRelevant]

They do love power. They wield this power by subsidizing the lives of poor folks, criminals (including illegals), drug addicts, etc. ,anyone really, who will add to the perpetual crisis in any of the cities/states these liberal clowns who cry about deportation run. Ironically it seems its easier for them to maintain power, the worse they run things.

[Petrosius]

By all means, give them due process:

Are you a citizen? No?

Are you a legal resident? No?

Here is your deportation order. Farewell.

[DownInFlames]

If you are here illegally, you have committed a felony, therefore should be deported immediately. There is no such thing as due process for immigration violation. No papers? Bye.

In many cases, the illegals have also committed ID theft to look like they’re legal.

[woodbutcher1963]

Several people including Elon Musk have stated that the illegals being removed and NOT counted in the 2026 Census could potentially remove 20 US Congressmen from the BLUE areas of the country.
In addition, it would alter the makeup of the ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

THIS IS WHAT THE BIG FIGHT IS ABOUT.

There are more illegals in California than any other state.
CA will lose US Congress Reps and Electoral College electors.
So will NY, IL, NJ, MN, MA. Even Red states like Nebraska could lose a Rep in places like Omaha.

The task of removing 20+ million people is monumental and expensive. Which is the reason why they want to promote Alligator Alcatraz. Which makes some illegal in Jacksonville question whether he/she wants to SELF DEPORT back to where they came from or take the chance of spending a few months in the Everglades.

For example, one of my son's best friends is dating a young lady from San Palo, Brazil. She was an opaire here in NH.
Her VISA was up. She got reported that she was overstaying her visa and needed to go back home. So, she decided to leave. To self deport. Apparently, she said that IF Biden was still POTUS she would have stayed. SO, it is working.

I don’t think it’s quite accurate to say that Democrats do things unwittingly. After all, they are a bunch of half wits.

False statement: No criminal records

First crime entering the country illegally

Our laws do not exist with them.

[AZJeep]

There are congressmen who barely represent anybody.
Some of the districts are majority noncitizen districts, with very limited number of citizens being represented.
Citizens in districts where there are few noncitizens are being discriminated, as their vote counts less.
Talking about disenfranchisement!

[AZJeep]

The self deportation is working!
I heard a rumor that we lost about million “visitors” since Trump took over!

There has been always an outfrown if illegals.
Many never intended to stay, they just want to make money, save and live like kings in their country of origin.
Some leave for family, health, and nostalgia reasons.
So just stopping the inflow of newcomers is helping immensely!
In addition, some are now scared of ICE and are deciding to leave before they get arrested.
So despite ICE pace is slowed that I would like, the amount of visitors is being reduced in lot faster rate than just ICE numbers suggest.
