Washington Examiner:  TRUMP IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS STILL STRUGGLING WITH BIDEN’S LEGACY. Trump administration immigration authorities not only have to contend with violent attacks, rioters, angry activists, and others trying to obstruct enforcement of federal immigration law. They also have to deal with the obstacles former President Joe Biden left in their path. You’ve seen videos of resistance to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents doing their jobs. Just yesterday, the Democratic mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, declared the city an “ ICE-free zone .” Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL), Johnson’s ally in the fight against enforcing federal immigration law, referred to federal immigration agents as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s “thugs.” ... Biden opened the borders to illegals, and it looks like Democrat controlled cities want to do the same thing.  I suspect the Democrats want the illegals becasue not enough American citizens are willing to support Democrat candi...

  Tim Burchett @timburchett · 1h Imagine telling our military families who are literally standing in a food line that you care more about providing illegals with taxpayer funded healthcare. Welcome to the 2025 Democrat party. The Democrats' desire to give free healthcare to illegal immigrants is nonsensical for the git go.  Our military deserves better.

  Blaze: Democrats are using the government shutdown to protect funding for illegal immigrant health care — while federal taxpayers across the country foot California’s bill. Dr. Oz is the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services administrator for President Trump, and he’s joining Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on “Glenn TV” to debunk the left’s lies surrounding the current government shutdown. “It is really reprehensible, what the Democrats are doing,” Oz tells Glenn. “This has been a process, this continuing resolution process, whether you like it or not, that’s gone on for a long time.” “One of the things we addressed, I think, quite successfully, is the fraud, waste, and abuse in Medicaid. In fact, some of the points you make like money going towards illegal immigrants — again, it’s not that you’re paying for it in California; it’s that folks are being taxed in Mississippi and Texas and Florida, and that money is being shipped to California,” Oz explains. “We stopped th...

 Victor Davis Hanson: ... What’s really disturbing is we’re starting to see a new—I would call it—neo-Confederate successionist ideology in these cities. In these blue cities, the officials who run them, the mayors or the police chiefs, believe they are a law unto themselves. In other words, within the confines of Chicago or within the confines of Portland, they can nullify all federal laws, just in the way that South Carolina said it could on the eve of the Civil War: The Union does not apply to us. We are morally superior. I wanna remind everybody how that works out in reality. If you are an ICE agent and you’re in an ICE detention center, you may not be able to get in or out of work or you can’t fulfill your duties because there is a siege on of Antifa semi-terrorists and their sympathizers that surround you. And the Oregon police will not help you. In fact, in a recent demonstration, a reporter was arrested while reporting on the inaction of the Oregon police and the violence o...

  Vigilant Fox  @VigilantFox CNN’s Kaitlan Collins grows visibly irritated on-air as Rep. Jim Jordan calls out Democrats for backing healthcare benefits for illegal immigrants. Collins tried to move on as she sifted through her papers, but Jordan wasn’t letting her off easy. COLLINS: “If premiums jump, people can’t afford it; they don’t have health care. And the burden on people who are sick and need that coverage is higher.” JORDAN: “I’ll tell you what the Democrats want. The Democrats want health care for people who are non-citizens. That’s driving up health care costs too.” COLLINS: “Don’t change the subject.” JORDAN: “No, the subject is you’re talking about health care. And all I know is Maxine Waters said we want health care for illegal immigrants.” COLLINS: “But I’m talking about the subsidies themselves.” JORDAN: “Every single Democrat presidential candidate back in 2020—they asked them, how many of you will support health care for people who are non-citizens, fo...

 Daily Signal: ... Well, when federal law is being violated and federal personnel and property are under threat, the government certainly can send the National Guard from one state to another. If Newsom doesn’t want Texas troops marching through California, then he shouldn’t want his state doing literally exactly what triggered the Civil War. Trump absolutely has the authority and the duty to carry out federal law. As we’ve seen in cities like Portland and Chicago, there are now Democrat-run jurisdictions that not only won’t cooperate with federal authorities in upholding the law, but they are also outright putting up impediments to doing so. Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement office has been inundated by Antifa-allied leftist agitators for months. They’ve caused mayhem, they’ve attacked journalists , they’ve demonstrated a flagrant disregard for the law, and it seems local authorities won’t do a thing about it other than complain that the Trump administration is enfor...

  Congressman Greg Steube @RepGregSteube · 14h Illegal aliens getting healthcare is more important to Democrats than paying our military servicemembers, Border Patrol agents, and federal workers.  That is why we are stuck in this shutdown. Democrats insist on free healthcare for criminals, even if it means withholding money from the people who keep our country safe. Those who support this policy are doing great harm to the American citizens. The Democrat position looks totally ridiculous. Polling for Democrats who support this policy should shrink even further.  See also: James Walbert @jawalbert77 · Oct 4 Quote steve hilton @SteveHiltonx · Oct 3 Democrats are lying about free healthcare for illegal immigrants.
