Open Letter to Democrats: Why ICE Is Rounding Up “Mothers” and “Fathers” (It’s YOUR Fault)

You whine and cry about ICE doing its job, and call it “terrorizing” when illegal aliens are arrested. “But he’s a father of five!” you cry between bites of avocado toast. You say ICE is kidnapping “workers” and “fathers” and “mothers.”

Angelenos are trying to live their lives—going to work, caring for their families—while facing the constant threat of sudden immigration crackdowns.

This fear paralyzes communities. We saw it before: kids too scared to go to school, families torn apart without warning.

Let’s…

Hear me out:

ICE being in LA is what caused the protests

If ICE didn’t kidnap random people from Home Depots, then none of this would’ve happened.

My Latino friends are the hardest working, fun loving, tax paying, family oriented, backbone of my community… and our nations economy.

They are a shining example of achieving the American Dream just like our ancestors did.

Racist, violent, white American men are the greatest…

California’s farmworkers are the backbone of our economy.

They work through grueling conditions – rain and shine, heat and cold, even a pandemic – to feed the nation.

Targeting these workers is just wrong. And meant to stoke fear, not improve public safety. https://t.co/rXuc2f18GE

Well guess what? American fathers and mothers lost jobs they took. American fathers and mothers continue to have their tax dollars squandered on benefits for illegal aliens. American fathers and mothers have been victims of the crimes committed by illegal aliens.

Here’s the truth: ICE is targeting criminal illegal aliens as a priority. But because your sanctuary cities protect them from being picked up in jails and prisons, ICE has no choice but to track them down at homes and workplaces. And yes, sometimes others living and working with those criminals get arrested too. That’s not “terror,” that’s the law catching up. Because they are ILLEGAL aliens.

Even the ones you call “innocent” broke the law by entering the U.S. illegally. Biden, Newsom, and friends may have rolled out the red carpet, but it’s still a crime. Your Democrat politicians opened the gates and sold it as compassion – but it was all about importing future voters and that’s all it has ever been about.

Border Czar Tom Homan told the New York Times how things were going to be when he said, “I said it from Day 1: If you’re in the country illegally, you’re not off the table. So, we’re opening that aperture up.” Is there a warehouse full of illegal aliens? They’re going to get busted under the Trump Administration. ICE is no longer going to ignore illegal aliens just because it’s what the left wants.

Now let’s talk basic survival and some math: If someone is here illegally, how do they pay for food, shelter, transportation and their burner phone? There are only three ways:

1. Lie, cheat, or steal – commit fraud or other crimes to survive.
2. Take jobs from American citizens.
3. Live off taxpayers – that’s you and me funding their housing, healthcare, kids’ schooling and more.

In every scenario, American citizens lose. Multiply that by 20 million, and you get the scale of what you’re defending.

Trump promised to fix this. And even now, with limited tools, he’s keeping that promise. So ICE will keep showing up at restaurants, construction sites, and wherever else criminals are hiding. If
