More than that, the Democrat shriek-out over a lawful action to remove aliens has demonstrated how little Dems care about Americans’ safety and quality of life. The presence of many millions of illegal aliens has brought more crime, decreased quality of education and lowered wages for citizen workers.
The truth is, Democrats have now outed themselves as preferring foreigners over American citizens. Hopefully voters will remember in 2020.
On Friday, Tucker Carlson considered the Democrats’ pro-lawbreaker reactions along with Buck Sexton, who helpfully enumerated the various crimes being committed by the illegal aliens and their friends in the Democrat party.
Too bad none of the treasonous pols will ever be held to account in any serious way.

]]>TUCKER CARLSON: After several weeks of delay, this weekend, starting tomorrow, the Trump administration is planning to do something that it ran on back in 2016, enforcing the immigration laws of this country.
ICE is expected to launch raids in several American sanctuary cities. It’ll be seeking people who’ve received final orders of removal from this country, from a court.
According to the President, most of these people have already been convicted of other more serious crimes.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: It’s not something I like doing, but people have come into our country illegally. We’re focused on criminals. We are focused on — if you look at MS-13. But when people come into our country, we take those people out and we take them out very legally. They all have papers, and it’s a process and I have an obligation to do it.
CARLSON: Now, the Democratic Party has been committed to keeping the borders open for — well, really all of Donald Trump’s presidency so far — but they usually hide their intentions at least a little bit. They’ll say that people deserve their day in court first or they will argue that only criminals ought to be deported.
But this case is unambiguous. Every person being targeted by ICE starting this weekend has already received a final order for removal. In other words, they’ve had their day in court. They’re not being held in ICE facilities at the border. Many of them have criminal convictions.
At this point, it’s a simple matter of enforcing America’s laws. Bill Clinton did it. Barack Obama did it. But that was before. So these Democrats have made their decision. American laws do not matter. Nobody should be deported, ever.
BETO O’ROURKE: These massive raids and internal enforcement operations, they are going to separate potentially thousands of families, many of whom have committed no crime against this country, pose no threat to the United States of America.
REP. OCASIO-CORTEZ: I’d hope that we can come together as a party and stand up against what should be seen, I think universally as a cruel regime.
SEN. RICHARD BLUMENTHAL: Innocent people who may be swept up and arrested in massive raids across the country.
MAYOR PETE BUTTIGIEG: If rumors start going on about raids, let alone if it starts actually happening, it immediately makes the community less safe.
SEN. CORY BOOKER: We could be using these law enforcement resources to really go after the folks that are a real threat to our communities. This is all kinds of wrong, and we’re better country than this.
SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI: Families belong together. Every person in America has rights.
SEN. KAMALA HARRIS: And so he is going to create, as he often does, this distraction. I agree with you — and do these raids, which is — it is a crime against humanity.
CARLSON: Telling people who’ve been told by a court, by a judge, they must legally leave the country, enforcing that is a crime against humanity, says Kamala Harris.
Hillary Clinton meanwhile, piped up from retirement or whatever she’s doing these days. The same woman who claims that Russian Facebook trolls are a threat to democracy, decided to actively assist smuggling people into this country.
She posted a guide to evading ICE on Twitter, and added “Por pavor comparte,” that’s “Please share” in Spanish.
In the State of California meanwhile, Governor Gavin Newsom has released an instructional video informing his States’ criminals on how they can avoid law enforcement. Watch.
GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM: I just want to say to folks that are anxious about a knock on the door, when we talk about knowing your rights, no abras la puerta. Without a warrant, you don’t have to open the door. Without a warrant, you do not have to open the door.
CARLSON: So picture a Republican Governor making a video used with taxpayer money telling voters how to — I don’t know — cheat on their taxes or how to buy illegal guns. What would the reaction be? Well, CNN of course, will call for them to be imprisoned. But it wouldn’t, because they care about the law, obviously, Republicans do.
On the left, a new reality is now explicit. Our laws and our Constitution are only valid if they’re in accord with current Democratic Party talking points. Otherwise, you can ignore them.
Buck Sexton is the host of “The Buck Sexton Show” and he joins us tonight. So Buck, you know, you hate to be continuously outraged over the same story. But every week, it seems to get crazier and crazier. And now we have lawmakers calling enforcement of the law a crime against humanity. Where does this end?
BUCK SEXTON: There’s a momentum to the insanity at this point, Tucker.
It’s quite clear that they are engaged in mass nullification of immigration law, that that is what is happening now. At any stage of the process, whether it’s in sanctuary cities, we’re talking about enforcement for people with final deportation orders. And this is all part of the con.
Initially, there were no caravans, and there was not going to be any problem, no crisis to the border. And then it was okay, there’s a lot of people at the border, but we just have to let people go through their process. And if they don’t get to stay after that, we promise we’ll be okay with them being sent home. And now we know that that was a lie all along, too.
They keep telling lies about this. And they’re honestly running out of room at this point. And that’s what — we’re facing nullification. And by the way, when you put up those lists, they’re getting very close to violating another statute over immigration — I’m sure they wouldn’t care – – which is aiding and abetting.
You can’t actually harbor illegal immigrants. You can’t actually employ illegal immigrants. There are all kinds of laws out there and some of these Democrats seem to think that they should do whatever they can to obstruct law enforcement efforts. They want to talk about danger to the public? This is dangerous.
CARLSON: It’s crazy. But it’s also unfair on one level, I mean, so they’re telling foreign nationals they don’t have to abide by American law. They can ignore our laws, but they’re telling me that I have to follow every American law. And if I step outside the bounds of those laws, I go to jail. It’s like, why am I paying my taxes? Sincerely? Why can’t I buy a silencer? Why am I paying attention to all these laws, when they’re telling residents of Guatemala and Honduras like they don’t have to follow the law? I’m not kidding.
SEXTON: There’s so much illegality that actually gets piled up when you look at the real statutes. It’s against the law to lie to federal officers at the border about what you’re fleeing. It’s against the law to lie about your age. It’s against the law to have a fake Social Security card. It’s against — you go down the list. It’s against the law to engage in document fraud.
There is an entire subset of U.S. Federal Law that is being violated all the time with impunity, and people seem to think on the Democratic side they can just ignore all of this.
CARLSON: At some point, somebody is going to make a defense in court along those lines. Like these people don’t have to follow the law. Why should I? That’s when things really will start to fall apart.
SEXTON: I wish the Democrats would just be honest about what they want. If no one should get deported, if nobody should have immigration law enforced against them, the people like AOC, the legislative body in charge of these laws, they should just say, “We want to be open borders.” Stop pretending that’s not what they want. It is so clearly is.

Below, foreigners (right) carry the Honduran flag on their way to invade the United States, as Buck Sexton discusses border anarchy.
Somehow, it seems unlikely that Pelosi’s open-borders Democrats now running the House of Representatives will be amenable to fixing the many legal loopholes that allow foreigners to game the system. Not that the earlier Republican legislature was much better. We still don’t even have universal E-verify, the basic American jobs protector.
Here’s the audio version plus a transcript of the interview:
]]>TUCKER CARLSON: Well it’s well-established, at least on TV, that there is no crisis at all on the U.S.-Mexico border. The very idea of that is insane.
REP. TED LIEU, D-CA: Trump and Republicans continue to lie about basic facts. The truth is there is no crisis at the Border that justifies a government shutdown.
JOE LOCKHART, FORMER WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: There is no crisis at the Border. So you’ve got to start from the place that everything the President’s saying is fiction. So, it’s very hard to negotiate with someone who’s dealing with a made-up problem.
CARLSON: These guys would literally say anything, like there’s nothing they wouldn’t say. And now, they’re saying it’s a made-up problem. It’s all just a fever dream, a product of your deranged imagination.
But wait. There is that 12,000-person caravan coming up right now from Central America. And Mexico’s new governor is making it easier for them to get here. Or did we just dream that up too?
Buck Sexton is a former CIA analyst, now with The Hill. He’s recently been on the border, and he joins us with an update. So Buck, it’s made up, this crisis on the border. Does that comport with what you’ve seen?
BUCK SEXTON: No. Members of Congress that say that either haven’t been to the border or haven’t even taken the time to speak to members of Border Patrol or Immigrations and Customs Enforcement about the many layers of crisis that are occurring right now at the border.
On one front, you just have now the increase in very serious medical cases, and this is problematic at a number of levels. You have people who are showing up, as we know. There are already two children who died in custody. They were ill when they entered custody.
But there are many people that are now coming into Border Patrol custody. And in most cases or many cases, they’re surrendering, so they’re actually actively seeking out Border Patrol knowing that they’re going to get medical services.
They’re actually having to set up now screening facilities, frontline screening facilities, for Border Patrol to deal with people showing up who have H1N1 Flu, scabies, a whole list, a litany of different communicable, very serious diseases that they have to be treated for, by the way, courtesy of the taxpayer, that often requires taking them to the nearest hospital, which takes one or two depending on the sector Border Patrol agents to accompany them to the hospital, all this, of course, paid for by Uncle Sam.
And then, you also have to deal with the drain on resources. Border Patrol guys are saying, “Look, we’ve got enough problems as it is.” They had about 30,000, close to 30,000 family units alone.
That doesn’t include unaccompanied minors. It doesn’t include people that are just trying to cross illegally, the old-fashioned way, by themselves that are showing up, turning themselves in.
And now, what’s happening is, Border Patrol’s being turned into a de facto Red Cross on our border for people who are coming up with serious illnesses, diseases, people who were eight or nine months pregnant, this is happening in increasing numbers every month.
So the problem, Tucker, is actually getting worse while people are going on TV saying there is no problem.
CARLSON: Well it’s not happening in their neighborhoods. And we need to bring all of this awesomeness, you describe, into the neighborhoods of the people making these policies, and maybe they’ll have a different view of them.
So let me ask you, since you’ve spoken recently to a lot of people who work down there, enforcing our immigration law, do they think there’s a crisis? I mean is there any doubt in their minds?
SEXTON: No. No doubt at all. I mean they’re certain that there is a crisis that’s also getting worse when you look at the strain and the drain on overall border resources. That includes the enormous, and now even bigger, because of the shutdown, backlog in the courts. It includes the way that the asylum system has not been addressed so that Congress really has to actually pass laws, because right now, if you understand the system, there are many different ways to game it.
You can come into the country effectively and skip the entire line and stay in the United States. And even though you won’t get asylum in the end, you’ll be in the interior of the U.S. That has to be addressed by Congress. There’s also a crisis of lawlessness.
One thing, I think, is interesting is when you see all these people who are going on TV and saying, “You can’t lie to the FBI, you can’t lie to the federal government,” when it has to do with the Mueller probe, well the same laws apply, same laws about lying to federal officers, to Border Patrol and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.
And people who are showing up renting or borrowing children of other people pretending that they’re the — that’s fraud, Tucker. That’s actually illegal. You can’t do that.
CARLSON: How many of those felonies do we prosecute?
SEXTON: They’ve – I think they’ve gotten about under a 100 for the last 12 months of the estimated thousands that are probably occurring. They don’t really know. They don’t have the time. They don’t do DNA checks at the border. They don’t have the ability to process.
It’s essentially they have overwhelmed the system not just with medical requests, but they’ve overwhelmed the system with lawlessness because U.S. attorneys won’t even take up the cases now of, as I was told, 30-something-year-olds saying that they’re teenagers, so they can skip to the front of line, that’s illegal too. The same law that sends people like Stone possibly to jail for allegedly lying to Federal Agents can send people to jail for giving wrong age.
CARLSON: But here’s the difference if I can just say, none of those people volunteered for the Trump campaign. And if they had, they’d be in jail right now.
SEXTON: That is probably true.
CARLSON: So, probably smart enough not to do that. Buck Sexton, great to see you, as always.
