Whose side is the left on?
By Kevin Finn
It’s infuriating to listen to leftists’ rhetoric, where they defend vicious drug cartels, illegal aliens, and rising crime in American cities. By doubling down on policies that embolden lawlessness and threaten communities, they’re prioritizing political expediency over public safety. The Democrats went from owning the slaves, starting the Civil War, forming the KKK, and passing Jim Crow laws to claiming they are “for the little guy.” Now they’re casting the members of the party specifically founded to fight slavery as oppressors.

The problem the left is having is that it started to run out of victims, so it adopted the Cloward-Piven strategy by opening the borders and inviting 10–12 million more to add to the untold millions who were already here.
Commentator Benny Johnson decimated Geraldo Rivera recently on Piers Morgan’s show. Rivera argued that illegal aliens are not criminals despite admitting that their “only crime” was to enter the U.S. illegally. Johnson asked him, “Do you understand the definition of the word ‘illegal’?” Rivera sat in stunned silence for seven seconds, unable to reconcile his own cognitive dissonance. He then tried to downplay illegal immigration by comparing it to jaywalking, or claiming that Puerto Ricans (U.S. citizens) are being unfairly targeted by ICE. Johnson dismantled that and highlighted the real-world consequences, citing the brutal murder of nursing student Laken Riley by a Tren de Aragua affiliate who had been repeatedly released by left-leaning prosecutors. Rivera’s defense of illegal aliens reflects a broader Democrat tendency to dismiss the criminality inherent in illegal border crossings.
