I'm Not The Monster
But I know who the monsters are.
I see the tear-jerking stories the media posts about some illegal alien son, daughter, husband, wife, friend or parent who is taken from someone who is legally in the US. I have X followers who are posting them.
I'm not a monster.
I'm sorry for the emotional toll these apprehensions exact.
But the fact is that every single illegal alien in this country knows they are here illegally, and they know the risks they face as a consequence of breaking those laws. If there is someone to blame, it isn't Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, or any ICE employee. If anyone wants to place blame, blame the presidents who allowed a flow of illegal entries as a matter of policy and the agents of the federal government who executed those policies.
Nobody gets upset at the kid who shows up to the mop do the clean-up on Aisle 7. The upset is reserved for the person who created the mess in the first place.
It is telling that the media and individuals can post these heart wrenching stories while ignoring the stories of loss many citizens have experienced because of someone who is - or was - here illegally. Like these people who have been killed since 2021:
Laken Riley: A 22-year-old nursing student killed in February 2024 in Georgia, allegedly by Jose Ibarra, a Venezuelan migrant illegally in the U.S
Jocelyn Nungaray: A 12-year-old girl murdered in 2024 in Houston, allegedly by two Venezuelan nationals who entered the U.S. illegally.
Rachel Morin: A mother of five killed in 2023 in Maryland, allegedly by a Salvadoran national illegally in the U.S.
Kayla Hamilton: A 20-year-old raped and murdered in July 2022 in Aberdeen, Maryland, by an MS-13 gang member from El Salvador who entered illegally.
Sarah Root: A 21-year-old killed in 2016 in Nebraska by Eswin Mejia, a Honduran illegal immigrant, though this predates 2021, it was mentioned in recent posts.

This is not a complete list, just the ones a quick internet search turned up and it doesn’t include the families and friends who will never know peace after the loss of people they loved.
Yes, it is a terrible thing to be torn away from a community, a family, a partner, or close friends - but it happens every day to citizens who break laws and are found guilty of the same. The people who are weeping over deportations save no tears for citizens convicted of crimes. No senators are having Margaritas with any federal inmates.
There is a trope that is getting more mileage than my old 85 CJ-7 that Democrats are trying to make mainstream. It is that ICE is rounding up/kidnapping/”disappearing” illegal aliens "who have committed no crime" as if coming to America without permission is legal, trivial even.
It is not trivial or legal, and the people who are saying that know it.
As I wrote earlier, I’m not a monster, the people who are weeping over deportations and ignoring Laken Riley’s murder are the monsters.
We need to do that countering starting with repeating repeatedly 'The Great Replacement" as that is absolutely what it is all about.
No. Question. About. It.
The leftist progressive communists have a habit of blaming those to the right of them for all the things they do. Therefore "their democracy" even though we don't live in one. Highlight the feelz because some criminal is caught and sent back to whatever hell-hole she/he came from. The people these monsters kill and maim, whose lives they make difficult by stressing hospitals, schools, jails, and all the other functions of government, don't count.
Well, I'm here to tell you it's the monsters and the leftist progressive communists who don't count. If you're here illegally, no matter how long you've been here, you should be deported. If your family, which knew you were illegal, cry because you're being taken away, send them with you. If you harbor or hide an illegal or interfere with ICE in the lawful performance of their duty, you should be charged with Disrupting National Security Operations, which is a felony.
Do unto others, we're told. It's time we screwed them the way they've screwed us.
