Op-ed: Where Was Democrats’ Outrage when Obama and Biden Deported Illegal Alien Housekeepers and Gardeners?

It’s going to happen as sure as the sun will rise: Once Congress approves a “big, beautiful bill,” the Trump administration will supercharge its “mass deportation” plans far beyond mostly illegal alien convicts. Get ready to see deportations of workaday illegal aliens who didn’t commit jail-worthy offenses and were never convicted for illegally breaching the border and breaking whatever other laws were necessary to work illegally.

And along with it, get ready to see illegal immigration advocates — among them progressive operatives and protesters, battalions of lawyers, corporate media, and sanctuary state elected officials — intensify an information war barrage of planted heartstring-tugging “human interest” stories. These stories are used for political purposes to drive down public support for deporting illegally present domestic housekeepers, lawn-mowing crews, and construction workers. (See my recent report titled, “‘Injustice Porn’: Get Ready for the Next Big Thing on the Immigration Front.”

But Americans need to be reminded that no such war for their hearts and minds happened when Democrats Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton collectively deported millions of illegal aliens who also merely worked hard, paid taxes, and stayed out of U.S. prisons and off gang and terrorism intelligence databases.

The coming war on Trump’s mere remake of Democratic Party deportation programs lays bare the profound double-standard hypocrisy of the activists waging it along with their partisan media allies who so willfully believe that a unique new MAGA inhumanity is afoot.

It isn’t. This is an old story with new, politically motivated framing.
