Gang members often approach new immigrants in the hallways of Long Island high schools, taking them in and promising a sense of belonging and protection. The new kids have no way of knowing the bloody history of groups such as MS-13 or the Mexican drug cartels whose dirty work they so often do inside the United States. They don’t know, for instance, that MS-13 kills women and babies, usually using machetes to do it. In Nassau County on Long Island, there is an abandoned lot near a mental hospital that has become known as “the killing fields” because of the large number of dead bodies that has been dumped there by local members of MS-13. Last year, Long Island Newsday reported that police have identified roughly five hundred members of the gang, about three hundred of whom are still active in Nassau County. In Suffolk County, which sits right to the east of Nassau, there are three hundred more. This is a criminal gang that has been allowed to infiltrate some of the safest communities in the United States because of bad immigration policies.
If we allow this trend to continue, members of Mexican drug cartels will soon be fighting it out on the streets of this country rather than their own. What’s MS-13’s motto? “Kill, rape, control”? Its members specialize in bestial acts. They decapitate victims and tear their hearts out. They sound like wonderful people, right? Yet when my father called them animals, the left lost its mind. In response to my father, Nancy Pelosi reminded us that we are all God’s children and wondered if my father believed in “the spark of divinity.”
Give me a f**king break.
Today, the Congress of the United States is the last real obstacle to full border security for our country. The Democrats need to stop the nonsense of investigating nonexisting and disproven conspiracies and instead do something that will keep Americans safe and allow people to sleep safely at night, knowing that the violence in faraway places such as Mexico and El Salvador has no chance of reaching our homes. Unfortunately, the Democrat lawmakers—most of whom live in houses surrounded by lovely big gates and go to work every day in a building staffed by dozens of armed guards—don’t like talking about the American lives that illegal immigration endangers, the strain on our health care system illegal immigrants cause, or the jobs the illegals take. Instead, with their allies in the mainstream media, they reframe the discussion so that when my father talks about the emergency crisis at our southern border, he’s labeled a racist or heartless or both.
The Democrats and their cohorts in the media are always engaged in a spin cycle that goes something like this: an illegal immigrant commits a crime, sneaks a few hundred kilos of heroin into the United States, or votes illegally. Prominent Democrats stay silent, preferring to focus on important issues such as how cow farting is harming the ozone layer. Next, a conservative points out that we might have a problem with illegal immigration, maybe after mourning the death of an innocent kid whose life was taken by MS-13. But then the liberal machine fires up, and dozens of members of Congress start yelling about how racist and evil the Republican Party is. There is no such thing as a substantive immigration debate in this country, and the Democrats have done a brilliant job ensuring that there never will be. Say what you want about them, but when it comes to vindictive politics and obstructionism, they’re good as it gets. Meanwhile, two hundred American children are dying of overdoses each day. Two hundred a day.
The crisis has especially crippled Pennsylvania, where the overdose rate has climbed to nearly twice the national average. Whereas some places around the country have seen a slight decrease in opioid-related deaths, the rate in Montgomery Country, where the Hill School is located, has recently spiked. First the Democrats sent the residents’ jobs overseas; now they sit and do nothing as parents bury children there at unprecedented rates.
The other thing the Democrats are good at is hypocrisy.
In 2013, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and just about every other Democrat senator voted for a bill that included seven hundred miles of border wall. Obama agreed to sign it and said that the bill was “consistent with the key principles for commonsense reform that I—and many others—have repeatedly laid out.” Allow me to repeat what Obama called a border wall: “commonsense reform.”
In 2016, the former president—that’s right, Obama—went on to say, “Because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders we simply cannot allow people to pour into the U.S. undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. Americans are right to demand better border security and better enforcement of the immigration laws.” And by the way, this whole hysteria about kids in cages? Well, it began under Obama. Liberals seem to have conveniently forgotten about that.
In 2014, our old Hillary had this to say: “We have to send a clear message: Just because your child gets across the border, that doesn’t mean the child gets to stay. We don’t want to send a message that is contrary to our laws or will encourage more children to make that dangerous journey.” Weird, right? Sounds just like my dad, but when Hillary says it, no problemo!
So what happened to the Democrats, you ask. Well, my father was elected president, and they decided they hated him more than they wanted to protect the United States. So with the help of the mainstream media, they got to work at making the wall into a racial slur. Under Obama, nearly two-thirds of Americans supported building a wall or fence at the border, according to an ABC News/ Washington Post poll. Now that number is below 50 percent. It dropped for one reason: a concerted effort to spread misinformation and lies by Democrat politicians and fake news.
Nancy Pelosi calls my father’s actions on the border “barbaric,” but I don’t remember her saying anything like that about Barack Obama’s immigration policy, which included separating children from their parents, keeping the kids in tent cities, and deporting 2.5 million of them! Remember who started this crisis! Funny how no one on the left mentions that, isn’t it?
Then there’s Democrat Dick Durbin, who called my father a racist because he used the term “chain migrations.” But then Durbin had to apologize when a video was found showing him using the same words in a speech on the Senate floor. When Gavin Newsom was elected governor of California last January, he vowed to make his entire state a sanctuary for illegal immigrants, even promising them state Medicaid. In Nancy Pelosi’s hometown of San Francisco, illegal immigrants are allowed to vote in local elections.
Yet when my father proposed sending illegal detainees to sanctuary cities, Democrats cried bloody murder. Julián Castro, the ex–San Antonio mayor who’s one of the six thousand Democrats running for president, called the proposal “cruel.” So did Nancy Pelosi’s spokesperson. House committee chairs Jerrold Nadler and Elijah Cummings wanted to launch—wait for it—an investigation! You’d think they’d have run out of paper for issuing all those subpoenas by now.
One of the most prominent Democrat hypocrites is Cher. Back in 2017, she urged all her fellow Hollywood types to open their homes to serve as minisanctuaries to protect Dreamers. But then, in April 2019, she sent a tweet saying that her city, Los Angeles, “ISN’T TAKING CARE OF ITS OWN,” adding “If My State Can’t Take Care of Its Own (Many Are VETS) How Can It Take Care of More.”
Here’s my response:
Donald Trump Jr.
Amazing, simply amazing. I guess the leftists are only pro illegals when they can lay the huge burden on someone else.
