Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is throwing a fit because federal agents are finally doing their jobs. She claims ICE raids are hurting the city’s economy, but what she really means is that enforcing immigration laws is cutting into her political base. Bass would rather protect people who broke the law to enter our country than stand up for legal American workers.
The mayor is crying about businesses losing customers after the raids began in June. She says immigrant families are struggling without their breadwinners who got arrested. But here’s the truth Bass won’t tell you – these weren’t innocent families, they were people living here illegally who should have been deported years ago.
Bass even signed an executive order to block city workers from helping ICE do their job. She’s basically telling federal law enforcement to stay out of Los Angeles while criminals roam free. This is exactly the kind of sanctuary city nonsense that puts Americans in danger and rewards people for breaking our immigration laws.
The mayor went on television whining about how the Fashion District lost foot traffic and restaurants are empty. She compared it to COVID lockdowns, which shows how out of touch she really is. When you remove illegal workers from the job market, there are more opportunities for legal Americans who need work.
Business owners are complaining because they’ve been relying on cheap illegal labor for years. Now that ICE is cracking down, they actually have to pay fair wages to American workers. Bass and her liberal friends want to keep this broken system going because it benefits their donors and political allies.
Protesters hit the streets after the raids, causing chaos and forcing the city to impose a curfew downtown. Bass supports these troublemakers instead of thanking ICE for making Los Angeles safer. She’s more worried about protecting people who shouldn’t be here than protecting law-abiding citizens.
The Trump administration deployed National Guard troops to restore order after the protests got out of hand. This shows what happens when liberal mayors refuse to enforce the law and let their cities spiral into chaos. Bass created this mess by encouraging illegal immigration in the first place.
Real Americans are tired of politicians like Bass putting illegal immigrants ahead of citizens. ICE agents are heroes for doing the tough job of enforcing our immigration laws. It’s time to support our brave law enforcement officers and tell sanctuary city mayors like Bass to stop protecting criminals.
