The Trump administration has only just begun its deportation efforts,
00:00:34.800
and the media is already shaping a narrative of victimhood.
00:00:39.100
Reporters highlight nervous parents, crying children, and desperate prayers,
00:00:43.280
all designed to evoke guilt and pressure conservatives into abandoning border enforcement.
00:00:48.480
This strategy has worked in the past, but the immigration crisis has escalated to a point
00:00:53.020
where even Democratic politicians acknowledge the damage
00:00:56.060
that these policies have caused in their own districts.
00:00:59.020
Americans must stand firm in defending their borders and protecting their communities,
00:01:04.540
rejecting the moral blackmail that the left is now pushing on a public that has had enough.
00:01:09.580
The media's tactic of using guilt to undermine border enforcement has been effective before.
00:01:14.580
The squad leader, Andrea Ocasio-Cortez's widely publicized display of emotion over the kids in cages narrative gained enormous traction in 2018.
00:01:25.960
While some Democrats, such as New York City Mayor Eric Adams,
00:01:30.800
now recognize that unchecked illegal immigration harms their own constituents,
00:01:35.780
the broader progressive movement refuses to back down.
00:01:39.480
The moment Trump's deportation efforts resumed,
00:01:42.960
the press flooded the news cycle with stories of hardship portraying illegal immigrants as victims.
00:01:50.900
They broke the law, and their removal is not only justified,
00:01:54.920
but necessary to uphold the rule of law and to protect the American public.
00:02:00.320
By 2025, Americans have reached a breaking point on immigration.
00:02:05.180
The emotional appeals and kids in cages narratives that worked in 2018 no longer hold the same sway.
00:02:13.460
For years, liberals enabled mass immigration by framing it as a bureaucratic misclassification rather than a legal violation.
00:02:22.180
They aggressively stripped the term illegal from the conversation
00:02:25.640
and labeled anyone who pointed out legal violations as racist.
00:02:29.520
Some progressives even attempted to grant illegal immigrants voting rights in local and state elections,
00:02:35.700
a move that eventually backfired and sparked widespread public outrage.
00:02:40.180
Meanwhile, some conservatives played their own version of the immigration shell game,
00:02:45.400
portraying illegal immigrants as religious, family-oriented, and hardworking,
00:02:50.380
just natural allies against the atheistic socialist left.
00:02:54.380
They minimized illegal entry as a minor infraction akin to jaywalking,
00:02:59.820
and argued that these new arrivals would ultimately strengthen conservative values.
00:03:05.140
In reality, mass illegal immigration has weakened the rule of law,
00:03:09.960
disrupted communities, and driven up the cost of living.
00:03:13.720
The middle class has shrunk, family formation has stalled,
00:03:17.060
and the transmission of American traditions and values has slowed to the point
00:03:20.920
where conservatism struggles to sustain itself.
00:03:23.840
The effects of unchecked immigration have reshaped the country,

Illegal immigration is neither a victimless crime nor a bureaucratic oversight.
00:04:06.500
It's often orchestrated by foreign cartels that use it as a conduit for drug smuggling and human trafficking.
00:04:13.020
Gangs infiltrate U.S. cities, seizing control of neighborhoods and entire apartment complexes,
00:04:21.060
High concentrations of illegal immigrants create ethnic enclaves,
00:04:24.420
where assimilation is minimal and the acquisition of the English language is generally avoided.
00:04:30.060
Hospitals and emergency rooms become overwhelmed as illegal immigrants,
00:04:34.300
many without health insurance, receive care without paying their bills,
00:04:38.620
driving up costs and increasing wait times for American citizens.
00:04:42.220
Public schools, already strained, are forced to divert resources to accommodate non-English-speaking students,
00:04:49.880
reducing the quality of education for native-born children.
00:04:54.280
Illegal immigration also distorts the labor market by increasing competition for jobs and suppressing wages.
00:05:00.620
The surge in population inflates housing demand,
00:05:03.640
making home ownership even more unattainable for young couples looking to start a family.
00:05:08.540
Not every illegal immigrant is violent, of course,
00:05:11.960
but every crime committed by one is entirely preventable.
00:05:21.320
but the direct result of the Biden administration's policies that allowed her killer to remain in the country.
00:05:27.580
Every crime committed by an illegal immigrant who was not deported is a failure of leadership,
00:05:34.200
and every policymaker who enabled it has blood on their hands.
00:05:39.140
As the media attempts to manipulate the public into opposing the deportation policies that Trump was elected to enforce,
00:05:51.640
If deportation causes them distress or hardship, they're not victims.
00:05:56.820
They are experiencing the consequences of their actions.
00:06:00.380
If their children are affected, the responsibility lies with the illegal immigrant,
00:06:05.380
not the U.S. government or the American people.
00:06:08.720
No negative behavior is corrected without consequences.
00:06:13.260
And if the immigration crisis is ever to be resolved,
00:06:16.920
the Trump administration must enforce the law without hesitation.
00:06:25.720
she had no idea that she would become the subject of a horrifying and iconic image.
00:06:31.380
The 57-year-old New Jersey woman was allegedly burned alive
00:06:35.460
by a 33-year-old illegal alien from Guatemala as a police officer looked on.
00:06:41.920
Whenever the media tries to shame conservatives for supporting deportation,
00:06:47.140
the only response should be the image of Debrina engulfed in flames,
00:06:58.240
The Trump administration must not only continue,
00:07:01.900
but accelerate deportation efforts and reject the media's cynical attempts at moral blackmail.
00:07:08.480
The lives of women like Debrina Cowum and Lakin Riley depend on it.
