As President Donald Trump prepares to re-enter the White House, Democrats are shifting their stance on illegal aliens from protecting all illegal aliens to agreeing to deport “criminals.” It's starting to change.
The policy change by Democratic governors, including Kathy Hochul, J.B. Pritzker, and Jared Polis, and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, echoes Donald Trump's belief that the U.S. needs to start deporting these criminals. This is a political acknowledgment that the Trump campaign's actions were correct.
Therefore, since Donald Trump's landslide victory in the November election, various Democratic politicians have expressed their position on illegal aliens from the standpoint of protecting everyone, regardless of their status, to the idea that “criminals” should be deported. The situation is beginning to change to one that agrees that this is the case.
This comes after four years of so much permissiveness that the jurisdiction had descended into a state of war between its citizens on the one hand and criminal elements of illegal aliens on the other. This is an effort to change one's position so that people think that This is an admission that Donald Trump's campaign was right all along: America needs to start deporting these criminals, and voters support this policy.
New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul is the latest to make this sudden, whiplash-inducing U-turn on deportation. After years of defending his sweeping “sanctuary state” policies, Hochul suddenly told New Yorkers that if illegal immigrants were caught breaking the law, “the first thing he would do would be to call ICE.”
Hochul made her comment The National News Desk (TNND) reported in late November during a press conference about the state's new efforts to curb a wave of retail theft and crime.
“It's a different story than criminals. If someone breaks the law, I'll be the first to call ICE and say, 'Get them out of here,'” Hochul boldly said at a press conference about deportation. declared.
She added that there are “different categories of individuals” and still insisted she wants to help other “categories” of immigrants get jobs in the Empire State. But she reiterated that she doesn't want illegal criminals in her state right now.
“There are others who committed crimes before coming here, or who are known to be criminals. Once they are identified, I will be the first to help eliminate them.” I don't want them here. I don't want anyone to terrorize the public,” she said.
Her comments likely drew criticism from Republican challenger Mike Lawler. In a message to X, Lawlor accused Hochul of being dishonest.
“If Governor Hochul had meant what she said, Laken Riley would still be alive today,” he wrote. “The truth is, she is not, and even helped establish New York's protectorate status. This shameless effort to hide her record will not be forgotten by New Yorkers.” .”
According to recent reports, New York City is currently home to 58,000 “criminal” immigrants, including more than 1,000 members of foreign gangs such as Torren de Aragua. Mr. Hochul's sudden change in policy came amid reports that he was new york post.
Mr. Hochul is not the only Democratic lawmaker who promotes sanctuaries to suddenly turn to supporting the deportation of illegal criminals.
Radical left-wing Denver Mayor Mike Johnston also initially said he would use the Denver Police Department as a shock force to physically prevent ICE from deporting illegal aliens, but after stepping on a bee hive, he said he would use the Denver Police Department as a shock force to physically prevent ICE from deporting illegal aliens. The government changed its stance to “repatriate the people.''
He backtracked, claiming he “probably didn't use that image” and claiming he was “retracting” some of his statements before hastily adding that he supports deporting criminally illegal aliens. .
“I think our policy is clear,'' Johnston said. saidBut what happened next was in stark contrast to what he has been saying in recent years.
We believe that if you are a violent criminal committing serious crimes such as murder or rape in Denver, you should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and deported. We support it and always have and will continue to support it. We have worked with successive governments on this. We will continue to do so in the future.
Far-left Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker also recently weighed in on deportation, arguing late last month that “violent criminals” should be deported but all other illegal aliens should be protected. He sought to make his opposition even clearer.
Oct. 27, Pritzker claimed that He called for some form of deportation, saying, “They should be imprisoned, or if they are in this country illegally and illegally and have committed violent crimes, they should be deported and handed over to the authorities in their own country.'' We should,” he said.
Colorado Democratic Gov. Jared Polis also revised his stance on the issue.
“We appreciate the federal government’s assistance in apprehending and deporting people who commit crimes and are a danger to Colorado, and our fellow Coloradans,” Polis said. He added: “We would be happy to assist with any additional federal assistance in combating Venezuelan gangs and swiftly imprisoning, detaining, and deporting those who commit crimes such as robbery.”
The addition of this previously unspoken “nuance” on deportation shows that far-left Democrats are finally beginning to realize that their radical, blanket support for illegal immigration is hurting voters. Their states and cities have become magnets for waves of illegal immigration. A crime wave hits them all.
