Illegals

There is a lot of outrage over this video of a Colorado health inspector pouring bleach into a “street vendor’s” food.

The video is a lie. The truth is this: It wasn’t just over a fee. This so-called street vendor is a business being operated by an illegal immigrant, a man by the name of Isidro Garcia Barrientos. He is operating this business without licenses, and after having received more than a dozen health code violations for unsanitary conditions and improper storage of food. Each time, the workers simply move the popup to a different location and resume selling. So far, he has been seen operating in several counties and cities, and has been dodging the law for months.

In this case, the health worker showed up, and the workers again started boxing up the food to relocate, placing it into a locked truck and refusing to obey the law. To prevent this, the health inspector poured bleach in the food. The inspector was doing her job and isn’t being charged with any crimes.

Insurrection

Los Angeles County has declared a state of emergency over ICE’s immigration raids. The vote allows county supervisors to mobilize resources, request state and federal financial assistance to respond to the impacts of the raids and expedite contracting to address the crisis. So LA can be a so-called “sanctuary city” by claiming to stand athwart Federal law, then expects to receive funds from that same Federal government to help further their lawbreaking?

How about, let’s find a US city that will allow everyone in town to own a machine gun, then apply for Federal disaster aid to buy everyone new dogs after the ATF comes visiting?

Or would it be easier and cheaper for Trump to finally give them the declaration of insurrection and the civil war that they are obviously trying to provoke?

Selling Out

Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) has introduced the Dignity Act to allow illegals to stay in the US if they’ve succeeded in illegally being here for five years or more.

Those supporting illegals claim that this will ‘fix’ the US immigration problem because illegals won’t be illegal any longer. If we get rid of laws against murder, it will fix our murder problem, too. Thats brilliant!

Just because Democrats are the enemy, doesn’t make Republicans your friend.

Judges may have views on which policy approach is better or fairer. But judges are not appointed to make those policy calls. We merely ensure that the Executive Branch acts within the confines of the Constitution and federal statutes.

Supreme Court Justice Bret Kavanaugh

Now compare that to Sotomayor:

We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.

This woman is upset that the FHP arrested an illegal who was driving with no license, no insurance, and unregistered tags. She feels that the cops should have just given him a ticket and let him go.

I saw this situation many times, back when I was a fire paramedic. This is what they do- The scam here is that an illegal buys a van with a valid plate from someone who is legal. They leave the tags on the vehicle, because they can’t get new tags or insurance without a valid license. They use the vehicle until it either gets impounded or in an accident. The driver they hit is left holding the bag, unless they have uninsured motorist coverage.

When they get in an accident, they give the fake name. They get a ticket for canceled tags, for the accident, for no insurance and for no driver’s license. The tickets require a court appearance. They don’t show up for the hearing, and an arrest warrant is issued, but they already have a new identity and vehicle. They are never seen again.

I know, because I saw plenty of people fall victim to that scam. It also happened to me once: July 4, 2002. I was rear ended by an illegal, he had no insurance, and he never showed up to court. The new bumper for my truck cost me $1000 that I had to pay myself. That’s why I still carry uninsured motorist coverage to this day.

She is literally defending a criminal.

Let’s just, for the sake of discussion, assume that birthright citizenship is actually the law. That doesn’t mean that any woman who gets creampied and pregnant before she sneaks over the border to have her child gets to stay. She isn’t the citizen, her child is. So when I see a video like the one discussed below, I have zero sympathy. She is getting deported. Her child can stay. If she wants to take the child with her, she can.

Her and her accomplice are caught stealing more than six thousand dollars in merchandise from all over the state of Florida. The police tell them that they are to be deported. One of them replies with, “You can’t deport me. I have a son who is American.”

Wrong. Your son is American. You are not. Get the fuck out.

Tools To Be Used

The headline reads: “Apopka daughter asks for fair chance after parents detained, father deported.” The left uses emotion to manipulate people. It doesn’t matter if it’s a shooting, a deportation, or even attempting to quote the Bible, the left wants to use your own feelings against you.

In this case, the leftist who wrote it wants you to believe that a little girl is being deprived of her hardworking parents. The reality is different- the daughter is old enough to drink, and her parents entered the country illegally, applied for residency 20 years ago, then never showed up to their appointment. A deportation order was entered against them.

In the intervening decades, he “ran a successful business.” What they don’t mention is that the reason the business was successful is because they are illegal. The name of the business is Juarez Investments, LLC. It was operating without licenses or registration until 2021. Meaning that they likely weren’t paying taxes for nearly 20 years. If I didn’t have to pay taxes, my business could be more successful as well. They aren’t law abiding, they are tax evading freeloaders who are making the lives of people legally living here even harder in the form of lower wages and higher costs.

This pair has been flouting the law for more than 2 decades. It’s about time they are sent home to Guatemala.

Liberal Viewpoint

there are no “illegals.” That’s a word the Republikkkans use to dehumanize and demonize. People who are here without documentation, without legal permission, that’s a civil offense, not a criminal one. Crossing the border outside a checkpoint is misdemeanor trespass. They can claim asylum from anywhere in the U.S and whether you like it or not they have as much right to be here as you MAGAats do. Most of them are workers with families just like you. Once they have been there for over decades, they are protected by the statute of limitations.- Rando Lefty talking points

This ties in with my statement on Due Process. Read the clause again:

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

So lets assume that you are right- illegally entering the country isn’t a crime. OK. What is the penalty? You get sent back to the nation that you came from. That isn’t depriving you of life, liberty, or property, so you aren’t entitled to due process.

If the government DID want to charge you with a crime, the law used would be 8 USC 1325: Improper entry by alien. The law reads:

Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.

In other words, it’s a misdemeanor the first time, a felony each subsequent time.

Saying the word “asylum” isn’t a magic word that gets you a free pass. First, asylum is for fleeing your home country because your life is in danger if you stay. Second, once you have left your home country, the threat is gone, and you are done fleeing. That means you can’t pass through 8 nations on the way to the US in order to claim asylum. That’s not how it works.

Also, sneaking into the country and staying here for a decade in violation of the law doesn’t mean that you can claim asylum after being caught.

The statute of limitations don’t apply in the event of a crime that continues every day. If I were to make an illegal machine gun, but I own it for 20 years, that doesn’t mean ATF can’t charge me with it. That also isn’t how crimes work.
