Every day, the Democrats seem to descend further into irrational, even outraged lunacy. They are on the wrong side of every 80-20 issue.
Illegal immigration is one of those issues. The American public overwhelmingly favors secure borders and removing illegal aliens, and the Democrats, nationwide, at all levels, oppose any such efforts – they are taking the side of criminals over American citizens. Nowhere is this more apparent than on this issue.
The Department of Homeland Security is counting coup on a report from the Center for Immigration Studies, noting that 1.6 million illegal aliens have left the United States, most of them voluntarily, and many Democrats are red-faced and screeching angrily about that.
The statistics, from the Center for Immigration Studies, indicate that self-deportations are driving the trend. The federal government has provided financial incentives for illegal immigrants to leave and has run advertisements telling them they can only apply to return if they leave voluntarily.
“In less than 200 days, 1.6 MILLION illegal immigrants have left the United States population,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement on Thursday. “This is massive. This means safer streets, taxpayer savings, pressure off of schools and hospital services and better job opportunities for Americans. Thank you, President Trump!”
These are great numbers. This is what President Trump campaigned on. This is what the American people voted for. This is what the American people want. More to the point, this is the law. The Democrats are fond of piously pronouncing “Nobody is above the law” when attacking the latest fabricated transgression of President Trump or indeed any Republican, but they don’t apply their pronouncements nearly as piously when talking about people who are in our country illegally. You know – in violation of the law that nobody is above.
