The Department of Homeland Security has demonstrated its priority is safeguarding citizens from criminal illegal immigrants. Whereas the Biden administration and current Democrats in Congress essentially provided big welcome mats for dangerous illegal immigrants, such as those who murdered Laken Riley and Rachel Morin, the DHS under the Trump administration is making protecting the public a priority again. Democrats have shown they don’t care about innocent women in this country being murdered by illegal immigrants.
Consider the supposed controversy and subsequent Democratic performative outrage regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Senators, congressmen, congresswomen, political pundits, legacy media, academics, and other left-wing sympathizers have all rallied around the case of Abrego Garcia, a suspected MS-13 gang member with a history of domestic abuse charges. These very same people were conspicuously quiet when it came to the murders of Laken Riley and Rachel Morin.
People who have objected to policies that led to Abrego Garcia’s judge-approved deportation (albeit not to El Salvador) said absolutely nothing about the left-wing, Democrat-supported immigration policies that continuously allowed murderers to enter the country illegally. They are silent when women get brutally attacked and murdered, but make a federal case out of an illegal immigrant with suspected gang ties being deported.
Time and time again, Democrats have made their priorities clear, and their priorities are not the people, especially not women going on morning jogs. For example, compare the difference in public appearances and statements by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) regarding Rachel Morin’s death and Abrego Garcia’s deportation.
Political commentator Lindy Li, a former Democrat now conservative, who served as the Mid-Atlantic Regional Chair of the Democratic National Committee, and was on the DNC’s National Finance Committee, spoke with me about the recent uproar involving Abrego Garcia. She echoed similar sentiments about Democrats caring more about illegal immigrants than U.S. citizens.
“We should call these criminals what they are: illegal aliens. Enough of the woke euphemisms,” Li told me. “These people don’t belong here and don’t have a right to be here — they should go home. Don’t come back. It’s disgusting that Democrats care more about these abject criminals than they do about actual Americans. And I’m speaking as a naturalized American myself who never took a handout. My family and I have created hundreds of good-paying American jobs over the years. That’s the way it should be. Parasites should leave.”
She also explained what she believes is the ultimate goal for Democrats regarding illegal immigrants and why they are such strong supporters of them.
“I do believe they want to turn these criminal gang members into eventual voters,” Li said. “No doubt in my mind they want to use the influx of these aliens to create a permanent and illegitimate electoral majority.”
It would certainly explain their much-publicized efforts in this case. For the suspected MS-13 gang member, Van Hollen has gone on a public relations tour that would rival blockbuster movie releases. His face has been seen everywhere. He even traveled thousands of miles to visit Abrego Garcia in El Salvador on the taxpayers’ dime. For the innocent mother of five murdered in Van Hollen’s own state of Maryland, the senator rarely mentioned her name or case. He offered an insincere and half-hearted response over Morin’s death, a statement he echoed Sunday during his publicity tour.
“What happened to the Morin family was awful and unacceptable,” Van Hollen said on Fox News Sunday. “I cannot imagine losing a child like they lost Rachel, and I said at the time that my heart goes out to the Morin family.”
But while he could travel to El Salvador for Abrego Garcia, he couldn’t travel within his own state to visit Morin’s grieving family. Why? Because Van Hollen didn’t care about Morin’s death. Neither did any other Democrats or left-wingers who are outraged over Abrego Garcia. It’s despicable to pretend otherwise. Patty Morin, the victim’s mother, said as much when recalling the lack of effort Van Hollen made to contact her family.
“Van Hollen has not contacted our family and has not provided support in the wake of my daughter’s murder by an illegal immigrant from the same country as Abrego Garcia,” Morin said.
Van Hollen also didn’t visit Laken Riley’s family. Not only did he not make any arrangements to see her family, but he voted against a bill honoring her, the Laken Riley Act. Most Democrats, especially among the most vocal about Abrego Garcia, did the same thing. Furthermore, Van Hollen didn’t speak out against the Biden-Harris administration’s horrific immigration policies that allowed 13,000 murderers or 15,000 illegal immigrants convicted of sexual assault to enter the country.
Van Hollen was silent then as well, as were his other pro-illegal immigrant accomplices on the Left. Nor did any of them do anything to change their political positions or platforms from supporting government policies that allowed these dangerous criminals to enter the country.
Why? Because they do not care about women being murdered by illegal immigrants. It’s a sad representation of current affairs, but it bears repeating as often as possible.
DEMOCRAT WHO DIDN’T SUPPORT LAKEN RILEY ACT VISITS CRIMINAL IMMIGRANTS IN EL SALVADOR
Moreover, if actions speak louder than words, then Democrats have a distinguished track record of being quite vociferous regarding their support of women compared to their support of criminal illegal immigrants. It’s time to fully admit that Democrats are the problem in the discourse surrounding the country’s immigration policies. They created situations that allowed innocent women such as Riley and Morin to be murdered.
Democrats represent a danger to women. The sooner people realize this, the safer and better the country will be.
