The Puppet Masters of the Resistance.
They want blood in the streets
Welcome, my dear readers, once again to the Asylum, and every day the name seems more appropriate. To start, I want to publicly repent. I was once an open-borders-type libertarian guy, and while it looks good on paper, in practice, it is a freedom-killing, terrible idea. For a people to be free, there has to be a shared social fabric, and fully open borders undermine that. You can’t live freely and peacefully with people unwilling to assimilate to your culture, people who think it is okay to rape or stone women for wearing short skirts or eating a ham sandwich. It just doesn’t work. It is also impossible for the government to perform one of its valid functions (protect people from the initiation of force or fraud). It is impossible when every criminal just has to make it here to be safe. It is a strange reversal of the old movie trope when U.S. criminals would head to Mexico to escape prosecution. Now, I am a closed-borders libertarian. I welcome people to come here legally, and I acknowledge that process does need an overhaul, but once here, it is imperative that newcomers assimilate to our culture as they add their uniqueness to the whole of American culture. The tragedies we have seen in the past weeks occurring in Minnesota are just symptoms of a larger problem.
For the entire Biden administration, the United States has pretended its borders were
secure while millions of migrants cross illegally, unchecked and unvetted. Under the Biden administration, illegal border crossings surged to unprecedented levels, overwhelming law enforcement and local communities. Millions of individuals, many with criminal records, gang affiliations, or foreign intelligence connections, have entered the country, exploiting weak enforcement and permissive policies. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas repeatedly misrepresented border conditions, claiming control where none existed, while mass-release programs allowed apprehended migrants to vanish into urban centers, creating pockets of lawlessness across the nation. The consequences of these failures are immediate and tangible. Ranchers, homeowners, and municipalities face property destruction, theft, environmental damage, and skyrocketing costs for social services. Communities bear the burden of crime, medical emergencies, and infrastructure strain caused by individuals who bypass lawful entry entirely. Open borders, when coupled with generous welfare and social programs, incentivize illegal immigration, ensuring that the system is exploited by those who will benefit the most while contributing the least. Every loophole left open is a magnet for lawbreaking, criminality, and disorder.
The scope of harm is staggering. Across the southern border, Border Patrol has apprehended thousands of individuals previously deported for violent crime who returned immediately to commit additional offenses. In one notorious case in 2024, a repeat offender from Honduras, previously deported for aggravated assault, crossed again illegally and went on to rob multiple convenience stores in Texas before being apprehended. In Arizona, gang members from MS-13 and other violent networks have exploited the lack of enforcement to establish local cells, extorting businesses and committing assaults, carjackings, and homicides. These are not isolated incidents; they are the predictable result of a system that rewards illegal entry, while punishing lawful behavior. Fraud is equally pervasive. Identity theft, welfare fraud, and unemployment scams have surged in states with large illegal populations. Migrants who cross illegally often use stolen or falsified documents to access taxpayer-funded benefits, driving up costs for legitimate residents. In one instance in California, an illegal entrant used multiple Social Security numbers to collect unemployment benefits totaling over $150,000 before detection. Similar cases of Medicaid fraud, housing assistance abuse, and illicit student aid claims are now routine in jurisdictions with weak immigration enforcement. These crimes directly harm taxpayers, burden public agencies, and erode trust in government programs designed to help citizens and lawful residents.
The danger is not merely financial; illegal migration carries profound security risks. Migrants who enter illegally include individuals with criminal backgrounds and potential ties to foreign terrorist organizations. Some have been apprehended with outstanding warrants in their home countries for violent offenses or suspected involvement in transnational criminal networks. By failing to secure the border, the United States leaves itself vulnerable to attacks, infiltration, and manipulation. Deportation under a returning Trump administration is the only viable solution, yet it creates friction: those facing removal now have a powerful incentive to resist violently, heightening the risk of targeted attacks on law enforcement, federal property, and the public. Activist interference compounds the crisis. Across Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, and other cities, progressive groups have staged riots, mass protests, and blockades aimed at obstructing ICE operations. These demonstrations are not expressions of free speech; they are deliberate campaigns designed to impede lawful deportation. Activist interference transforms routine enforcement into volatile, violent situations that simply do not exist in states or communities where such activists are absent. For example, when ICE attempted to apprehend a known gang member in Minneapolis, protestors blocked access to the detention facility, assaulted federal agents, and set vehicles ablaze. In Los Angeles, a similar obstruction allowed multiple illegal entrants with prior felony convictions to evade deportation, creating a ripple effect of criminal activity in the surrounding neighborhoods. Where no activist networks intervene, deportation is conducted with minimal incident, proving the violence is manufactured, not inevitable.
These activist groups often operate as enablers for illegal activity, supported by foreign-funded NGOs. Groups such as Answer Coalition and the People’s Forum not only organize protests but provide logistical support for migrants, including transportation, housing, and legal guidance designed to circumvent U.S. law. By disguising their actions as humanitarian or political advocacy, they directly facilitate violations of the immigration system, placing communities and law enforcement officers at risk. Their interference ensures that areas where they operate experience elevated rates of crime, public disorder, and civil unrest, while regions without activist presence maintain relative order. The social and economic impact of these failures is catastrophic. Public schools, hospitals, and local law enforcement agencies are overwhelmed. Communities see rising homelessness, drug addiction, and violent crime linked to illegal populations. In New York City, illegal immigrants have been implicated in a string of armed robberies targeting small businesses, while unverified migrants in Chicago have committed assaults and burglaries that remain unresolved due to the difficulty of identifying undocumented perpetrators. Every illegal entrant who evades deportation becomes a multiplier of risk, endangering law-abiding citizens and undermining community cohesion.
Adding insult to injury, many celebrities and elected officials publicly champion the chaos created by these activists while personally facing no consequences. They use media appearances, social media platforms, and public statements to portray the obstruction of deportation as righteous or humanitarian, yet they remain insulated from any danger, legal accountability, or financial cost. Meanwhile, the individuals they incite, often young, idealistic, or uninformed, are thrust into violent confrontations, arrested, injured, or worse. These “useful idiots” are pawns in a larger game: their suffering serves the ideological ambitions of elites while the instigators remain safe, celebrated, and protected. The rioters may believe they are advancing a cause, but in reality, they are exploited tools whose actions destabilize communities, endanger themselves and others, and obstruct justice.
Deportation is not merely a policy choice; it is the only effective remedy. By returning those who violate immigration law to their countries of origin, the United States reasserts sovereignty, enforces accountability, and protects citizens. Every illegal migrant removed reduces criminal activity, lowers the fiscal burden, and reestablishes order in neighborhoods disrupted by activist-enabled lawlessness. NGOs and activist groups that knowingly obstruct deportation must be treated as criminal accomplices, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and prevented from undermining lawful enforcement. Sovereignty, security, and public safety demand action. America cannot tolerate activist interference that transforms lawful deportation into violent standoffs, or NGOs that exploit the system to shelter lawbreakers. Every community disrupted by illegal migration and protest-driven obstruction is a warning: the cost of inaction is measured in crime, disorder, and lost lives. Only a strict, enforceable deportation policy, coupled with accountability for those who interfere, can restore order.
The choice is clear: enforce the law, remove those who violate it, dismantle the networks that enable illegal entry, and hold accountable those who exploit idealistic participants as pawns or continue down a path of escalating chaos, violence, and insecurity. Every day that illegal migrants remain in the country, everyday activist groups obstruct enforcement, Americans face unnecessary danger, fiscal strain, and the erosion of public trust. Deportation is not optional; it is essential. It is the line between a functioning, lawful society and communities ravaged by crime, fraud, manufactured disorder, and activist manipulation.
Romans 12:18–19
18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay.”
God bless you!
