What is it about low crime rates that Democrats don’t like? And what is it about murderers, rapists, pedophiles, thieves, gang-bangers, wife beaters, and other criminals that Democrats find so appealing?

If, as they constantly preach, “Nobody is above the law,” then why do Democrats defend criminals who come into the U.S. illegally? Many of them broke the law before coming here, by coming here, and continue doing so once here.

Democrat elected officials such as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey say President Trump uses “fascist” and “Gestapo thuggery” to clean up their crime-infested streets.

If that were true, those two would be lingering in some dank, cold cell since fascist or totalitarian regimes jail people protesting or criticizing authority, or worse. It has been reported that Iran this year slaughtered an estimated 30,000 of its protesting citizens and their organizers.

What’s the deal with sanctuary cities, counties, states, etc., where Democrats scramble to shield known criminals from prosecution by letting them back onto the streets instead of turning them over to  Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities for deportation?

The despicable rhetoric and actions of Walz and Frey are the cause of the problems and violence in Minneapolis. In his anti-Trump tirades, the crazed bug-eyed Walz sounded as though he was narrating 1938’s  Kristallnacht, the Nazi-sponsored pogrom against Jews that involved the destruction of homes, businesses, and synagogues.

It looks suspiciously like this disgusting duo will do anything to divert attention from the $10 billion or more in taxpayer funds lost to welfare cheats on their watch, which dominated the news until the anti-ICE lunatics they embrace and encourage emerged.

The Justice Department needs to find and charge the funders and organizers of the fraud and street chaos, and charge Frey and Walz with obstructing justice and inciting.

Why do Democrats protest ICE, a federal law enforcement agency that protects them and their fellow citizens from violent offenders? Does lowering crime reduce a source of their incomes by jailing their associates, friends, and relatives? Or does it reduce census figures that shrink the number of congressional seats in their Democrat-run states? Or are they hoping their attempts to block a federal ID program will enable illegals to vote Democrat?

Sanctuary areas don’t make any sense. They should be illegal.

Crazed agitators waving obscene signs on streets from progressive Portland, Oregon, to a tiny handful in conservative Fernandina Beach, Florida, obviously hate the United States, and they want every ragamuffin from Somalia to Burkina Faso to come here and be suckled at the taxpayer teat. They all ignore the innocent American victims of illegal aliens who have been raped, robbed, beaten, and murdered on America’s streets. Why?

I’ve observed these confused people waving their obscene signs at passersby and noticed that a vast majority of them are middle-aged or older white women. What’s going on with that? Where are the men, the younger gals, the blacks, Hispanics, etc.? Maybe the grumpy, grey-haired grannies were encouraged by their husbands to get out of the house and protest. That way, they could have a few peaceful hours to themselves, enjoy a couple of beers, and watch a ball game in peace and quiet. Based on what I’ve witnessed, you don’t want to be in a room alone with one of these harpies.

I’ve yet to hear of one of these irrational screechers volunteering to sponsor an illegal alien border crosser or take one home with them. Why not?

ICE is a federal law enforcement agency. And the President has the authority to enforce the law. The ICE officers are administering laws that were enacted by Congress that were designed to protect Americans. Residents in states that don’t like ICE should vote for candidates who want to change the law. Otherwise, they should obey the law or face the consequences for attacking those rightfully enforcing it.

Also, if ICE is such a problem, then why is there no crisis in red states?

Referring to the chaotic streets in Minneapolis, hypocritical Democrat New Jersey Senator Cory Booker recently said it would be “extraordinarily challenging to get a deal (voter ID) at all because the Trump administration doesn’t seem to be wanting to back away from their reckless, cruel and unjust actions.” This is the same guy who, as Newark’s mayor, presided over one of the most crime-ridden cities in the country.

According to a 2016 article in Politico, crime rates in Newark, which were falling before Booker was elected, began to creep back up after his election. It said: ”By 2013, with Newark’s population at 278,246, there were 3,516 violent crimes and 112 killings, both figures higher than when he took office. The city’s murder rate put it behind only Detroit and New Orleans.”

The crime and chaos in blue states isn’t instigated by ICE; it’s fomented, fueled, and funded by Democrats who run them.
