Deportations and Reparations...It's All About Democrats Buying Votes 

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Politics Radio

“At the request of Democrats, I have delayed the Illegal Immigration Removal Process (Deportation) for two weeks to see if the Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border...If not, Deportations start!"
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 22, 2019

Last week vague musings started making the media rounds that President Trump will start deporting millions of illegal aliens. And while said musings were dismissed at first as rumors solely to stir up his voting base, it seemed those rumors were true. How so...ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) itself confirmed that they would begin rounding up and deporting millions of illegals...mostly Mexicans and Central Americans...beginning with those having “exhausted all their legal appeals” yet are still living here illegally. 

Sounds good right...right but with a wrench now thrown into the mix. More on that wrench in a bit.

So while President Trump continues to be painted as the villain regarding deportations, he's also wrongly being painted as the fall guy never mind that the illegal crisis we face today is solely the fault of one Barack HUSSEIN Obama. And why...because Obama was unwilling to deport any what would be future Democrat voters coupled with the fact that Mexico didn't want them or the financial responsibility that comes with taking them back.

Mexico has been a problem, illegal wise, for almost a century now, and has only recently started taking responsibility for their own and those using Mexico as a pathway to the U.S. Pressured by President Trump with the real possibility of a 5%+ tariff being placed on all Mexican goods coming into our country, sees Mexico now starting to crack down on those who hopefully now will never reach our border.

Remember, Mexico has flooding of our country with Mexican nationals...Mexican citizens...because better we support them then they do. And Democrats forget that it was their very own Democrat icon, FDR himself, who during the Great Depression ordered the federal government to began the deportation of Mexican workers...those here illegally and legally...rather than include them in New Deal welfare programs. In other words, FDR did not want to take away needed aid from American citizens and give it to illegals...so the question is why was it okay for FDR to deport illegals then but it isn't okay for Trump to do just that now? Simply, because Democrats need the illegals votes...for Democrats it's always been about votes...especially with it being all about 2020 votes.

Also remember back to the Dwight D. Eisenhower years, when in 1955 as many as 1.3 million Mexican what was then called “undocumented workers” were rounded up in “Operation Wetback,” the then biggest mass deportation of illegals in U.S. history. Accomplished with the help of the Mexican government...a government who sought the return of Mexican nationals to alleviate a labor shortage within their own country...border patrol agents and local officials used “military techniques” and engaged in a coordinated, tactical operation to return the illegals home to Mexico.

In other words, mass deportations can successfully be accomplished if the country the illegals came from are willing to take them back, otherwise just dumping folks into said countries will see them breaching our border and returning here illegally once again. And the reason for that can be summed by current ICE Director Mark Morgan in his rightful blaming of Congress for withholding funds from the agency’s immigration enforcement budget, thus denying ICE the ability to do their jobs, as well as for slandering ICE as a “brutal force” that should be shut down.

Saying in a recent interview in The Hill that, “We remove people every single year. And we’re going to continue to do that,” Director Mark Morgan knows well that while it's not realistic nor possible to send back all approximately eleven million illegals currently in our country in one fell swoop, but that it can be done in manageable stages. 

And with simple logic dictating the same, stage one has begun with Morgan telling reporters that “the massive job will be getting underway next week,” and that he planned to “ramp up” interior immigration enforcement and deport more “undocumented families”...you know the ones AOC foolishly claims are being held in “concentration camps along our southern border.” Adding that while ICE does intend to prosecute non-criminal illegals it will go after criminal illegals first while at the same time continuing its routine “targeted enforcement operations” against individuals subject to removal orders as well as doing standard work site enforcement.

But I say ICE is being forced, due to politicians playing political games, to overlook the fact that the illegals got here by their knowingly breaking our laws. Remember, once captured, processed, and released as per our current immigration laws, not only do most of these folks not show up for their court immigration status hearings...a mandatory court date is set upon their release...but they often obtain false identities, collect federal welfare and other perks, and continue to illegally work in our country at the expense of American workers.

So while ICE Director Mark Morgan has said that the deportations are about “addressing the border crisis by upholding the rule of law and maintaining the integrity of the immigration system, as created by Congress,” and while ICE itself issued a statement that the agency "will continue to conduct interior enforcement without exemption for those who are in violation of federal immigration law," Democrats are now breathing a sigh of relief as President Trump is delaying those very deportations for two weeks. And during this time know the Democrats will work feverishly to come up with some sort of plan to help them from losing even one of these much needed 2020 votes.

And what exactly allowed for this newest deportation delay...the a fore mentioned wrench being thrown into the mix?

It seems Nancy Pelosi called President Trump this past Friday night to ask him to please call off the deportation raids by appealing for the same compassion that he showed in declining to strike Iran because of the potential for innocent lives being lost. And when Trump did delay the deportations for two weeks Pelosi responded to his announcement by tweeting, "Mr. President, delay is welcome. Time is needed for comprehensive immigration reform. Families belong together."

But I say let the deportations begin...no delays...as said deportations, Ms. Pelosi, will indeed allow families to stay together...back in their home countries that is. It's the right thing to do for our country...America and Americans first...always.

And something else right for our country is to say an emphatic “no” to paying “reparations for slavery” for it too is just another Democrat ploy to garner votes...in this case black votes. Democrats don't care about America's blacks just as they don't care about illegals...they just care about their votes and keeping them tied to the government's...and hence their...purse strings.

Remember, Democrats are the ones who have destroyed the work incentive amongst many...but not all...in today's black communities, especially those living in Democrat controlled inner cities. Keeping them tied to the government teat with welfare programs that pay more than hard but honest work does, has created multiple generations of blacks with the mindset of “you owe me.” But the thing is we...whether we be white Americans or our country itself...owe you nothing for no one alive today owned slaves and no one alive today was a slave. The sins of the past are behind us, they don't need to be revisited just to buy votes.

And besides, reparations have already been paid tenfold in the blood of Americans who helped free the slaves. And while the opinion polls show that the vast majority of Americans are against paying the so-called “descendants of slaves” reparations, what shouldn't be forgotten is that the issue of reparations itself treads dangerously upon a slippery slope for paying reparations to but one group of people then opens the door to other groups of people claiming that America did them wrong in times past. Forgetting first that some form of slavery has always existed, including amongst free black citizens in the antebellum South, those now striving for reparations also forget that it would be hard if not outright impossible to decide who exactly gets reparations. Would it be just those who could prove they're descendants of slaves or would it also include descendants of those who were affected by Jim Crow laws?

Either way reparations makes no sense for the simple fact that to even be discussing this issue actually makes those who were slaves but slaves once again as their sole identity becomes tied up in who they were and not in the free men and women they became.

And all the psycho-babble that today's black youth are suffering from “post-traumatic slave syndrome”...are suffering because of unresolved mental turmoil due to their ancestor's past...is simply just nonsense. Instead certain tangibles need to be addressed...tangibles as in the fact that in key segments of today's black population anger, resentment, and jealousy that they don't have what most white Americans have has not motivated them to take responsibility for their own lack of positive actions nor has it allowed them to understand that the actual driving force needed to improve one's lot in life was taken away from them by the very party...the Democrat party...not only to keep them “down” if you will, but to do so by fooling them into believing that programs like “Affirmative Action” would help them attain the equality they so desire.

Instead these programs became slavery's “enablers” because they're based solely upon the color of ones skin. And this helped to create not only the racial divide ongoing in our country today, but allowed the Democrats to hold sway over the enslaved votes as blacks for decades have had it ingrained within their psyche that their Democrat enslavers are actually their saviors. Simply, they are not for what better way to keep a people enslaved than to to take away their motivation to improve their lot in life. And when that lack of motivation comes dressed in the the guise of political altruism and phony do-goodness, a trap has been set that few have the gumption nor the will to break free of.

Black slavery isn't dead in America, it's just been replaced with "slavery of the mind" coupled with misplaced loyalty to the enslavers...this being the Democrat party taskmasters.

And dare we not forget that the issue of slavery has become not just a political game for votes, but is also an attempt by Democrats to shame white America into accepting collective guilt for things they never took part in. And besides, while forms of physical slavery are sadly still ongoing in parts of the world today, slavery in the U.S. has morphed into getting specifically targeted minorities, along with the weak-minded, to become “mind-slaves” to the Democrat party.

And to that affect last Wednesday, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties held a hearing to examine "the legacy of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, its continuing impact on the community and the path to restorative justice." In other words, Democrats foolishly held a witch hunt to look into what was not only the societal norm but big business from centuries past to try by any means possible to affix the happenings then to the happenings in today's black communities. Lawmakers even considered a bill proposed by Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (TX-D) to set up a commission to study the question of reparations for slavery...monetary reparations to be paid by we taxpayers for the sins of a small number of Americans from so many generations past. 

But if honesty is to be the case, this hearing was done solely to mask the Democrats true discussion of how much to pay each black American for their 2020 vote.

And while the Democrat presidential candidates are singing the reparations song, know that it too is done solely to garner the black vote for while some form of reparations might pass the Democrat controlled House, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has made it clear that no reparations bill will pass while he controls the Senate, and might I add even there after for the Senate votes simply and rightfully are not there.

So while this discussion of what is paramount to bribery will surely continue on, know that not all black Americans are buying what the Democrats are trying to sell. In fact, key Republican witness Coleman Hughes, an African-American "Quillette" columnist and philosophy major at Columbia University, said it best in that any reparations "would insult many black Americans by putting a price on the suffering of their ancestors." And to that I add selling those very ancestors into slavery yet again.

And by Mr. Hughes adding that, "If we were to pay reparations today, we would only divide the country further, making it harder to build the political coalitions required to solve the problems facing black people today," these word show that not all black Americans are willing to sell their what could be a bright future for what is but mere pocket change.

Op-ed:

Bye-Bye Sanctuary Cities

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio bit.ly/2cpXuRd

“The rise in illegal border crossing by Mexicans [illegal immigrants] to a current rate of more than 1 million cases a year has been accompanied by a curious relaxation in ethical standards extending all the way from the farmer-exploiters of this contraband labor to the highest levels of the federal government.” 

- Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Sept. 1954

Sanctuary cities...two words of contention and rightly so for sanctuary cities are merely a safe haven for those who knowingly and willingly break our laws, specifically our federal immigration laws. And while some Democratic mayors in 'so-called' sanctuary cities are ready to take on President-elect Donald J. Trump by vowing not to abide with Trump’s upcoming deportation orders for three million criminal illegal aliens, the fact is that in the end they will be forced to do so. And why...because it all comes down to dollar and cents. 

Dollars and cents...without federal funding those cities not complying will find themselves facing a domino effect for they will then have to raise taxes on their residents to pay for all the free stuff illegals receive, forcing those who can to start leaving for the suburbs and they will take their businesses with them. And what happens then...the poverty-stricken inner cities grow more demanding as those with their ‘gimmee-gimmee’ hands still out press for even more free stuff, possibly then bankrupted their city’s budget. But do the mayors of New York City, Chicago, Seattle, Boston, Providence, Denver, Santa Fe, San Francisco, Los Angeles; Oakland, and Washington D.C. care...apparently not as they say they will keep their sanctuary city status at all costs no matter that as per the Center for Immigration Studies, almost half the households headed by an illegal alien are receiving welfare, food stamps, and health benefits for both themselves and their children at said cities expense. 

And key to all this is that if said city’s mayors refuse to shed their sanctuary city designation...a designation that simply means that local police will not coordinate with federal law enforcement in efforts to deport undocumented aliens...then they would be in direct violation of federal law with the Supreme Court agreeing saying that "the State may not pursue policies that undermine federal law"...which the cities refusing to drop the sanctuary city designation would surely be doing. More on that in a bit.

"We will end the sanctuary cities that have resulted in so many needless deaths. Cities that refuse to cooperate with federal authorities will not receive taxpayer dollars, and we will work with Congress to pass legislation to protect those jurisdictions that do assist federal authorities."

- President-elect Donald J. Trump

And know that today’s sanctuary cities exist because the DOJ knew that as long as Obama was president they did not have prosecute anyone especially since local law enforcement officials are not required to contact U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement about the immigration status of people they come in contact with nor are they required to notify the feds when an illegal alien is about to be released from custody. In fact, New York and Los Angeles do not hold undocumented inmates in jail at the request of the U.S. Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) unless the detainer request is accompanied by a judge's order. 

So if these cities still do not voluntarily comply even when ordered to do so federal immigration agents or the military could force them to comply just like President Dwight D. Eisenhower did back in June 1954 when he rid our country of nearly 3 million illegal aliens with all going back to Mexico...their home. Calling his round-up ‘Operation Wetback,’ Eisenhower had local and federal officials ‘sweep’ Mexican neighborhoods looking for illegals with the result being that within one month 50,000 illegals had been arrested and deported, while nearly half a million ‘self-deported’ to avoid arrest. By September 1954, 80,000 more illegals were deported from Texas, with between 500,000-700,000 additional illegal aliens fleeing back to Mexico. And Eisenhower did this with much less man-power and resources than the feds have today yet when ‘Operation Wetback’ was completed not only was Eisenhower able to seal the border but nearly 3 million illegal aliens had been returned home to Mexico. And his actions deterred illegal crossings for years, that is until the modern day kumbaya Democratic sorts came into power and started handing out all the free stuff in return for the illegal’s vote.

And dare we forget that the Obama administration monetarily rewards sanctuary cities...and know that there are currently in total 340 sanctuary cities, municipalities, counties, and states that are considered 'sanctuary locations' within these United States with 200 of that number being actual sanctuary cities...cities that protect violent criminal illegal aliens from being deported. And Obama specifically showers these cities with hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars in federal monies and grants...monies and grants that funnel through the Department of Justice (DOJ)...the very department whose job it is to enforce the immigration laws currently on the books but who obviously do nothing of the sort.

And with Obama as president, this past five years alone saw $3.4+ billion in federal funds going to sanctuary states and cities with $342,168,401 specifically going to 10 major sanctuary cities including $132,409,635 going to California with San Francisco receiving the bulk of those dollars, and with New York City and Chicago receiving $60,091,942 and $28,523,222 respectively. A cash cow Donald J. Trump hopes to soon rightfully end for those monies can surely be used elsewhere...like to help homeless veterans perhaps.

So besides having these monies being funneled through the DOJ, the DOJ has other duties including providing federal leadership in regards to preventing and controlling crime coupled with seeking “just punishment” for those guilty of unlawful behavior. And unlawful behavior includes those behaviors committed by illegal criminal aliens but just ask Kate Steinle’s parents how well the DOJ did that job. Remember, this is the same DOJ who did not a thing after the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department refused to honor a detainer request issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for illegal alien Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez. You remember Sanchez...the illegal alien who had seven prior felony convictions in the U.S. and had been deported to Mexico five separate times...the very criminal alien living in the sanctuary city of San Francisco who murdered the Steinle’s daughter. 

And know that if the DOJ had done their job their daughter would be alive today, and so would those others murdered by the more than 9,000 illegal aliens released that the feds were seeking to deport between January 1st and September 30th of 2014. And at the end of 2015, 69% percent of those released were still at large within our borders. Now add in that the liberal Migration Policy Institute had to admit that there are over 800,000 illegal aliens with criminal records, with almost 700,000 of them with felony arrest records... and those numbers only take into account those who have been arrested and faced trial NOT those who committed crimes without being caught. And the final kicker is that hundreds of thousands of criminal aliens are currently protected from deportation as they await trials and sentences...many hiding out in sanctuary cities.

 

“Chicago will always be a sanctuary city”...or so says Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel as he surrounds himself with the politically correct and oh so required group of diversity props to make his announcement.

And while Rahm Emanuel might think he can do as he so chooses, legally he is completely wrong for sanctuary cities are indeed a violation of federal law as per 8 USC section 1324, ‘Bringing in and harboring certain aliens’ (see full code here: http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/8/12/II/VIII/1324)...which specifically deals with those persons who knowingly conceal, harbor, or shield undocumented aliens, and deals with the consequences of such acts. And this could well apply to elected officials...as in mayors...of sanctuary cities...and this is what the Supreme Court’s agreeing concerned.

So what exactly can the now President Trump legally do especially since precedent for deportation has already been set as per the above stated actions of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. First it’s important to remember that states and cities cannot be required to enforce federal law, and there is no U.S. requirement that tells police to ask about a person's immigration status, so that leaves Trump the option to legally pull funding from said cities if they do not comply. 

And while the mayors of the District of Columbia, Boston, Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago, have all said that despite the financial loss their cities will face, they will not change policies in place that allow them to limit cooperation with immigration-related requests from the federal government. And this leads one to wonder exactly why these mayors are so willing to lose funding...why they are willing to protect illegal criminal aliens instead of protected law-abiding American citizens from the likes of said illegal criminal aliens.

In fact, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has taken this stance to the nth degree by publicly stating that he would destroy a database of "undocumented immigrants" who have city identification cards before he would ever hand that database over to Trump. “We are not going to sacrifice a half-million people who live amongst us...We will do everything we know how to do to resist that” were de Blasio's exact words.

So again...why? 

Could the answer be as simple as these mayors know that in due time they will get their funding back through other means...maybe even through sham programs they propose and set up in such a way as to be perceived as programs presented in the name of the public good thus making them eligible for federal funding...or maybe it is because they know that even if some of the now currently released 10,000 criminal illegal aliens do go on to commit further crimes, they know from past incidents that the public outcry will be very short-lived and soon die down without the political problems and ensuing public outcry that would come from mass deportations that could include the breaking up of families.

So for now President-elect Donald J. Trump is standing strong on ridding our country of so-called sanctuary cities which in reality are nothing but hide-outs for illegal criminal aliens, and seeing how Trump operates you just know sanctuary cities days are numbered even if he has to do it through executive order. And if that be the case then so be it.
