I had thought to post something lengthy and profound today, but listening to one of the news reports about the “No Kings” protests figuratively stopped me in my tracks.
If memory serves, I heard one of the protesters state that she believed in the Constitution and that what the President and ICE were doing regarding illegal immigrants was illegal and unconstitutional, and that a majority of Americans agreed with her .
What?!
This told me that the protester had absolutely no idea what either the law or the Constitution said about immigration, the powers of the Executive Branch, or the limitations of the Judicial Branch. She only knew what someone else, some one who was either as clueless than she was or who outright lied to her. I doubt she even realized that what she was supporting was ignoring the rule of law and instead promoting law by fiat and, even worse, anarchy. I also have no idea what polls she’s been looking at, but a “majority of Americans” don’t agree with her. It’s just the opposite.
Some, including one or two of my family members, may question why I hate immigration. I don’t. I have no problem with immigrants who came here legally, filled out the paperwork, waited their turn, and then entered when the government said “Come on over!”
I do have problems with immigrants who broke the law to get here, crossing the border illegally or coming here for a visit and then overstayed when their visas expired. That over 9 million illegals crossed out borders, with a large portion of them being criminals before they even crossed the border, bothers me. That a sitting President, even if he was just a figurehead, opened the border and let them come flooding across with absolutely no vetting of any kind is one hell of a criminal act in and of itself. That his successor has to clean up the mess and that a small percentage of the population has decided to riot, burn, and loot as a means of trying to stop the clean up of Biden’s mess tells me all I need to know.
It’s not a protest. It’s a rebellion fueled by our Progressive ‘betters’...who are anything but.
