San Diego cops see a curiously crime-free summer since the ICE raids began -report

Open-borders leftists are constantly claiming illegal immigrants commit disproportionately less crime than their numbers would indicate. 

But an anonymous source inside the San Diego Police Department tells Amy Reichert that he's seeing something different:

A source inside SDPD says crime is unusually low this summer thanks to @EROSanDiego arresting career criminals who thought California’s sanctuary laws would protect them. Now ICE is tracking them down even though @GavinNewsom and Mayor @ToddGloria still shield them. https://t.co/gP88FShvqh

EROSan Diego is ICE, and a glimpse at the ICEBlock app, over the past week on my cell phone suggested a lot of sweeping out of foreign riffraff around town. Some days, there have been eight or nine reports of ICE activity just in my immediate vicinity.

As a result, the cops have fewer calls, less overtime and and islands of calm where there once was criminality and disorder -- organized thieves, rapists, burglars and cartel criminals fighting one another the likes of which this border city has never seen before. 

Not too long ago, I was hearing about cartel gun battles and assassination hits deep within the city of San Diego. This, as leftists insisted crime was down and illegals who have already broken into the country unlawfully wouldn't dream of commiting crime, citing meaningless statistics, given that crime is no longer enforced.

And it makes sense. Millions of dollars for alien smuggling is on the line, so the cartels have been importing their wars north to stake out turf and eliminate rivals. But since ICE raids began in San Diego -- I have not read of any lately.

ICE San Diego notes that it has picked up people like these:

ICE San Diego arrested Miguel Dominiguez, 19, a Mexican national with a conviction...

There’s nothing “curiously” about it. Illegals are lying low or self-deporting.

Those of us over 50 grew up in a high trust society, and there’s always a case of culture shock when we encounter the US as it currently exists in every big blue city.

The values of the third world have replaced the values of the culture that founded the United States, and wrote its constitution. It’s the law of the jungle, of the strong over the weak, and if you can “get over” on someone, well, it serves them right.

This just shows we don’t have to live this way, that it’s not too late, maybe. I’ve long been black pilled, but the past six months show that removing 20 million illegal alien third world invaders might not fully cure all of our ills, but it sure is a good place to start.

I talked to a local probation officer last year. And she told me nearly every person in our local jail was an illegal. Most were sexual offences or drugs.

Who would have thought that if you rid the area of criminals that crime would go down?

SURPRISE!

Unexpected.

All this, as open-borders advocates such as Sen. Alex Padilla of California falsely claim ICE is just arresting people off the street, solely based on skin color:
Trump has gone too far.
When a father of three U.S. Marines is beaten and detained.

This mf'er was busted slashing the tires of ICE vehicles. THATS why he was beat tf up, maced, and booked. Effing liberal dem lying ba$trd pos.
