No, ICE's Mississippi Raids Are Not an Outrage

Guy Benson / Toenhall Columnist

Earlier this week, ICE conducted a sweep of illegal immigrants in Mississippi, arresting nearly 700 individuals.  This development has been covered as a tragic, outrageous, anguish-causing, "secretive" affront by many in the press -- with images of tearful children, who were temporarily separated from their parents, driving much of the coverage.  This appeal to emotion sidesteps any serious discussion of whether the "textbook" raid was appropriate or not.

Some thoughts:

(1) I believe that interior immigration enforcement should (and generally does) prioritize detaining and removing illegal immigrants who have also committed violent crimes, and those who have been deported previously.  I also believe that ICE and CPB should (and generally do) attempt to execute their duties with an eye toward compassion and humanity, particularly when children are affected.  Nobody likes seeing frightened kids crying.  That being said, enforcing the law against people whose "only" crime involves breaking our immigration statutes is not out-of-bounds.  Adults who knowingly violate US sovereignty do not get a free pass to live and work openly in America, entirely without fear of deportation.

Bernie, Castro Set to Speak at Terror-Linked (ISNA) Jihadi Conference

By Geller Report Staff

America’s kapo strikes again. Bernie Sanders is the most anti-Semitic (and anti-American) presidential candidate of our lifetime, so it is not a surprise that he would speak at a conference hosted by a Hamas linked organization. How “progressive” of Sanders.

Why is Sanders not being confronted by America’s Jewish organizations for his anti-Semitism and open disdain for Israel? Why would the Republican Party not expose Sanders for aligning with some of America’s worst Jew-haters?

Naturally the mainstream media will also give Sanders a pass for his anti-Semitism. CNN and MSNBC will falsely accuse President Trump of supporting white supremacists, but have no problem with Bernie Sanders consistently supporting Muslim supremacists.

No, Christians and Muslims do not worship the same God
By Robert Spencer / Jihad Watch

Colm Fitzpatrick in the Irish Catholic offers an argument from authority, which is the weakest of all arguments: Christians and Muslims worship the same God because the Catholic Church’s Second Vatican Council says so. But a closer examination of the evidence shows this to be false. Besides the obvious differences regarding the Trinity, the crucifixion, […]

With Latest Trump Dossier-DOJ News, How Many Heads Are Going To Roll With Pending Report On Obama FISA Abuses?

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

|So, how many heads are going to roll in September? Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz is supposed to release his long-awaited report on Obama-era FISA abuses. The focal point centers on the DOJ’s FISA spy warrant against Carter Page, a former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, which was secured thanks to the Clinton-funded opposition research project called the Trump dossier. It was compiled by ex-British spook Christopher Steele. It was unverified. It was biased. And the DOJ knew it. Not only that, former top DOJ official Bruce Ohr kept contacting Steele months after it was revealed his worked was biased (via Fox News):

YouTube follows Amazon, blacklists ‘Killing Europe’ Islam documentary

By Robert Spencer / Jihad Watch

“This is America, not Canada and not Europe — we’re supposed to have free speech,” said director Michael Hansen. Yeah, that’s the way it used to be, but not anymore. Now the social media giants are determined to allow only one point of view — and who has the power and the will to stop […]

Senate Minority Leader Schumer Calls for Killing First Amendment Protection of Political Speech

By Pamela Geller / THE GELLER REPORT

Crushing free speech is essential to leftists’ agenda of statism, and always has been. The National Socialist German Workers Party (the Nazis), the Communists, Stalinists, et al destroy freedom by first restricting free speech. The First Amendment is first for a reason. It is our most precious and most protected freedom. And political speech is the most protected speech.

This has long been the ultimate goal of the Democrats, the leftists – silencing dissent. Totalitarianism. It’s why they are such enthusiastic supporters of the sharia where death is the punishment for dissenters (of Islam).

But they systematically use their free speech to defame, demonize and destroy good people.
