Oh my God we had a doozy yesterday during a hearing on child separations on the Hill. The Senate Judiciary Committee asked officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement about the policy and Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) seemed to know jack about our current immigration laws. I mean, basic stuff, like the fact that it’s a federal crime to enter the United States illegally.
Matthew Albence, the Executive Associate Director for Enforcement and Removal Operations for ICE, had to give Hirono illegal immigration 101 after the latter said she was “confused.” Yes, you read that right; a lawmaker was confused that entering the country illegally is, you know, a crime. Hirono tried miserably to claim that arresting illegal aliens is a Trump policy. Nope. It’s been set in stone for decades, lady. It was appallingly stupid. It was embarrassing. And it shows just how far left the Democratic Party has gone on this issue: they don’t even know basic immigration law. For some on the Left apparently, history did not begin until Donald Trump was elected president (via NTK Network):
“I’m Confused:” ICE Official Has To Explain To Dem Senator That Illegal Immigrants Break The Law
“These individuals are [at detention facilities] because they have broken a law,” ICE official Matthew Albence told Hirono.“They have broken a law only as deemed so by the president,” Hirono argued.
Albence then cited the exact statute, passed by an act of Congress, that criminalized unauthorized border crossings. “Illegal entry is both a criminal and civil violation,” he explained. “They have broken the law.”
This is when Hirono said, “I’m confused.” Right, and we’re going to give control of Congress to you brain-dead liberals. They’re called illegal immigrants for a reason. They’ve broken the law. This is what happens when you drink the political correctness Kool-Aid and adopt the senseless no one is illegal mindset, or call illegals undocumented persons, you sort of lose grip on reality, as demonstrated here. You come here illegally; it’s a crime. You get caught; you get arrested, and deported. If there are children with adults, they’re separated, as human traffickers feign parental status. These are common sense policies. They’re good policies, and they’re being enforced because we won and you lost. That’s what happens; elections have consequences. And no, ICE isn’t going to be abolished, despite the clamoring of the despicable progressive Left. Oh yeah, the anti-ICE crowd is great; they only call officers who happen to be people of color the n-wordfor enforcing the law. But please keep making that battle cry. It’s only going to help us.
This is one of the reason why lefty kooks are so unhinged. They believe the stuff these people that were *elected* to these offices...I can’t get over that part...they were *elected*. Either voters were dumb as rocks...the competition was worse or there was some ballot-box shenanigans.
The woman is unfit for office. She should resign and go back to growing pineapples or something.
The sad thing is that both parties have idiots like this, and probably 10-percent of Congress are not capable of grasping reality.
Stupid old slut obviously has no idea how the the Constitution says the government operates and enacts laws.
All she knows about laws is that she gets a memo telling her which way to vote on something called a "bill".
She and a good many other democrat dolts are nothing but sock puppets for the democrat party leadership.
". . . .only as deemed so . . .", Gawd Almighty, how effin stupid can you be and still end up in Congress?
I see your comment that both parties have idiots like this and raise you SHeila Jackson Lee, Hank Johnson, Joe Biden, Corrine Brown.....
Anytime Hank Johnson speaks, it’s like an SNL bit.
We may have our share of cowards, but they ten times as many idiots :)
There are a couple of options -- either she's unfit for office because she's a leftist, or she's unfit for office because she's ignorant and/or stupid. Thanks Kaslin.
I’ll rise you one...Corker, Flake, and McCain.
Hirono, the crazy leftist fool, has been sniffing the volcanic gases for too long. Sulphur-fried what was left of her brain. Now she’s just a babbling idiot, but a somewhat powerful one.
Hawaii has finally been taken over by the reds (of all types). Took them long enough since their efforts under Jack Hall (CPUSA), Rohrbaugh (CPUSA), and Frank Marshall Davis in the late 1940’s.
Their top judges are professionally corrupt Democrat pigs. Their governor Abercrombie was a hardcore red from the 50’s. They haven’t had an honest, pro-American representative since Duoja? and before that, Dan Inouye before he went to the left, along with Minetta, etc.
Why not both/and?
For too long, the immigration
can has been kicked down the road.
No Congress has stopped the influx
of illegal alien invasion since 1954.
We need another Operation Wetback.
In 1954, it was at Mexico’s request.
Now that Mexico openly encourages
it’s people to immigrate illegally,
the influx should be deemed an act
of war. Build the wall, until it’s
completion, troops on the border.
“Lazy” Mazie has been in Hawaii politics her entire life. She “learned” her stupidity the hard way - being told lies over and over again. In Hawaii, it’s not what you know but who you owe. AND............don’t think she’s a onefor. We have lots of them.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo is similarly confused. He actually said “immigrants who, in President Trump’s opinion are violating the law” on television! Can’t find the soundbite. But here’s Andy!

We are not separating children from their parents.
We are CARING for children while their CRIMINAL parents are utterly missing or in jail facing ILLEGAL immigration charges.
We CARE for the children, we don’t jail INNOCENT children with dangerous criminals!
Who better to review Supreme Court nominees.
Yet the Democrats placed her on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
I’ll see your RINO’s and raise you with Cory Booker.
All the democraps are unfit even the senior ones. Chuck Schumer for example never held a job in his life other than political office since 1975. This guy has no idea how the real world works yet they keep reelecting him.
The democrats are grasping at the anti-Ice straw to rev the base.
Having lost their hate-trump collective mind, they must fully expose their desire to destroy all our borders.
The President must eventually order the arrest of all sanctuary and anti-Ice officials including Attorney Generals, Mayors and Governors.
