Rule No. 4 I spent countless hours in 2025 sitting in the back of federal courtrooms in Minnesota observing two types of cases play out: illegal immigration and welfare fraud.
The one thing that both had in common was the application of Saul Alinksy’s Rules for Radicals Rule No. 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” It’s a distillation of the Cloward-Piven “overwhelm the system” strategy.
Federal bureaucracy was designed to handle a system where we had a few thousand illegal immigrants a year, not a few thousand crossing every day.
Likewise, the U.S. Attorney for Minnesota has only a half-dozen lawyers on staff to handle “white-collar” crime. There are thousands of defendants who merit prosecution for fraud in Minnesota, we are just now crossing the 100 mark for indictments.
Keep in mind that the entire District of Minnesota has only seven (7) active judges (not counting those on senior status). Four of those (a majority) are Biden appointees.
Consider the massive Feeding Our Future case. The first case to come to trial took 2 and a half years, from the FBI raids in January 2022 to the jury conviction in June 2024. Each of the two trials took weeks to conduct, all to convict just seven (7) defendants, who are now appealing to the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Another group of eight Feeding Our Future defendants were indicted in early 2024, and are now scheduled for trial in April 2026, more than two years later.
But every day, I am informed that the DOJ, FBI, local media, conservative media “must be in on the fraud” because “nothing is happening.”
As for the illegal aliens, I documented one case where the alien had his case heard by Immigration Court, the Board of Immigration Appeals, Federal District Court, and the Federal Court of Appeals. He lost at every turn, but the constant appeals delayed his deportation for years.
A different alien had his appeal turned back by no less than the U.S. Supreme Court. He was still deported, but he got his “due process.”
Stephen Miller is correct, to provide each and every one of the 15 million or so recently-arrived noncitizen illegal aliens their full course of due process would take centuries.
Let’s do the math. There are about 700 or so immigration judges. With 15 million aliens, that’s 21,428 cases per judge. Assume judges sit for 8 hours a day, 250 business days per year. If each alien received a one-hour hearing, it would take 11 years.
In our internet world, Google searches take a fraction of a second. Amazon promises and delivers same-day service. And everyone has forgotten what happened yesterday.

The only due process is for CITIZENS! these illegal bastards don’t qualify.
Time for a special prosecutor with a staff big enough to end this!
