Of Course, We Should Deport Illegals

 From John Hawkins at Culturcidal:

If you enter the United States illegally, OBVIOUSLY, you shouldn’t get to benefit from your crime. You should be held in custody, processed, and deported. No one coming here illegally should be allowed to file for asylum or go wherever they want. They’re a criminal who was caught in the act. Criminals need to be punished.

Especially since every person who came here illegally without question knew that what they were doing was illegal and that the punishment was deportation. They might not say, “I was hoping that I might be able to exploit the system and stay in the United States” or “I was hoping that I would get away with breaking the law,” but they knew they were disobeying our laws, and they knew what the penalty was for it.

So, why would we not deport illegal aliens?

There are no good reasons for it, but there are foolish and selfish reasons not to do it.

Liberals tend to view illegal aliens as potential future voters who they can easily capture with welfare programs. There are also business owners who view illegals as a source of cheap labor whose costs can be passed on to the rest of society. That’s why bringing these same people in legally via a work program instead of illegally doesn’t appeal to these business owners. It would cost them a lot more money. You also have NGOs that have been paid staggering amounts of money to work with illegals in one form or another. These are the selfish people who don’t give a damn about the country or anyone but themselves.

However, there are also foolish people. They make arguments like, “But, they’ve been here for a long time,” as if getting away with breaking the law for years means the law can be ignored. Others say things like, “Well, if I were in the same position as them, I’d break the law to do the best I could for my family.” This may be true, but you’re not in the same position as they are. If you’re an American, you’re supposed to look out for your own family and your own country. If someone breaks into your house, you don’t say, “In their position, I might break into a house as well,” you tell them to get the hell out of your house. (Read more.)

 

From Amuse on X:

 The cartels that poison our communities with fentanyl and violence do not wear uniforms, but their threat to American lives is no less dire than that of a foreign enemy—a threat that President Trump has repeatedly prioritized addressing through his decisive policies and actions aimed at dismantling their operations and securing our borders. Senator Mike Lee of Utah has revived an idea as old as the republic itself, proposing the use of letters of marque and reprisal to combat the scourge of drug cartels. It is a strategy rooted in the Constitution, steeped in historical precedent, and tailor-made for the unconventional challenge posed by these non-state actors.

The U.S. Constitution’s Article I, Section 8 empowers Congress to “grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal.” These commissions historically allowed private citizens to engage in acts that would otherwise be deemed piracy, such as capturing enemy vessels during wartime. This mechanism provided an agile, cost-effective response to seaborne threats while adhering to the rule of law. Though it has not been used since the 19th century, the power remains a viable constitutional tool—one that could be repurposed to address modern-day non-state actors, like Mexican drug cartels.

In this case, issuing letters of marque would authorize private security firms or highly trained individuals to disrupt cartel operations. Such commissions could target supply lines, intercept narcotics shipments, or seize cartel assets—a modern adaptation of capturing enemy ships. Unlike military intervention, this approach would not require a formal declaration of war, aligning with President Trump's emphasis on avoiding prolonged foreign conflicts while prioritizing national security and sovereignty for both the U.S. and Mexico in addressing this urgent threat.

From The Daily BS:

Border czar Tom Homan said Monday that he owes “no apologies” for the mass deportation operation undertaken by the Trump administration in response to celebrity Selena Gomez posting a video of herself sobbing over their new policy.

In the past seven days, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ramped up enforcement actions, arresting over 2,000 illegal migrant criminals considered to be “public safety and national security threats” since the Trump administration entered office. In response to the new initiative, 32-year-old Gomez sobbed uncontrollably in a since-deleted Instagram post Monday over the deportations of “[her] people” and accused the Trump administration of attacking children.

“I don’t think we’ve arrested any families. We’ve arrested public safety and national security threats, bottom line,” Homan said. “And look, President Trump won the election on this one issue, securing our border and saving lives. What happened at our southern border the last four [years] is the biggest national security threat this country’s seen at least in my lifetime because you’ve got 2 million known gotaways, you’ve got an increase in sex trafficking, we’ve got a record number of terrorists crossing the border on the terrorist watchlist. We have a quarter of a million Americans dying of fentanyl coming across the open border. We’re gonna do this job and we’re gonna enforce the laws of this country. If they don’t like it, then go to Congress and change the law.” (Read more.)
