How I feel.
Since as long as I can remember, if you were illegal and got caught, you could be sent back. Doesn't matter if you had a criminal record or not.
I accept this reality even if it affects people I care about (it has & does). The US has laws, Mexico has laws. México would deport me if I was in violation even though I have mexican blood. I'm not a Mexican citizen and thats what matters. I have to obey their laws. If I act out of place best believe they would fuck my ass up.
"But what if it was someone you love?!"
If someone I cared about was sent back I would help them and visit them in México, we have family on both sides of the wall so it's really not that big a deal. We would help each other like normal people.
I spend a lot of time in México. It doesnt make a difference to me, a Mexican cop, a Chicano ICE or Border Patrol agent, its all law enforcement at the end of the day.
"But its your people!"
Americans voted to close the border and deport illegals twice if not 3 times over the last decade. That's democracy not tyranny. I respect that decision and even agree with it. If you don't enforce your territorial sovereignty you don't have a nation. Period full stop.
If thats how I feel about my own people who unfortunately make up the largest share of illegals.
(86-90% of all Mexicans in the US are LEGAL btw)
I care even less about central and south americans, africans, pakis, Indians, chinese and everyone else who was rushed through the border by the millions in the last 5-10 years, against the will and best interests of the American people (which today includes me and my people).
Paisas know they break the law by coming illegally, they are adults with agency (kids are blameless). I say this as a Reagan amnesty anchor baby because it would be dishonest of me to pretend otherwise. I know my people, I won't make excuses.
"But they just want a better life like you got!? You're pulling the ladder up"
I dont see caravan migrants as having any claim here at all, even though I cant blame them 100%. They were lured with gibs and told by Democrat NGOs that America's immigration laws were optional. Unfortunately for them thats not true, old school Mexicans know this.
"But it's tyranny"
I dont see the state carrying out its actual legitimate functions as tyranny. Sorry. Yes I know they're masked and militarized, but on the other hand they're being doxxed and attacked so I cant say there isnt a reason for them to be. México's guardia Nacional rolls in the streets decked out in the same gear 🤷♂️.
Is the US government benevolent? No. Does that mean im going to side with people who stand against everything I believe in just bc they claim to be standing up for mine (they're not). Nah.
It wasnt like this in the INS days or the early days of ICE because there wasn't coordinated groups of communist agitators attacking them.
"Muh constitution"
Gaslighting about libertarian principles isn't going to change my opinion on this because we are so way passed that being a possibility (Should have chosen Ron Paul!).
The people in the street dont want to restore the republic. They want to overthrow it, get back in charge, and dominate.
They dont believe in democracy (obviously) because anytime it doesnt go their way they engage in violence, not just against the state, but their fellow citizens.
They're the ones who enforced lock downs, destroyed lives, coerced people to take an experimental vaccine, fired people for choosing bodily autonomy. They doxxed, censored, debanked, imprisoned and even killed people to get their way. So no, im not gonna come to their defense when they get capped while playing revolutionaries. They want that smoke. Let em get it 🤷♂️
For my part, I want to spend the rest of my time on this earth as a family man, getting right with God, living in peace and building a future. I have no interest in going up against the feds in the name of global gay race communism. I'm good on that..
Hear me out—Dems did once “have their own Joe Rogan”—his name is Joe Rogan, who is inherently not MAGA. He was a fan of Obama, Bernie Sanders, Andrew Yang, universal healthcare, taxing the rich, and disliked Trump. And Rogan reaches men that Dems need.
Donald Trump has been the President-Elect for not even two days:
- Steve Madden is halting manufacturing in China by half in a yr
- Hamas calls for an end to the war in the Middle East
- The Iran backed Houthis announced a ceasefire.
- Putin said he’s ready to work toward peace
