Tomi Lahren & Clay Travis on Border Security, Political Violence, and Democratic Party Capture

Escalating Rhetoric Against ICE and Law Enforcement

• ⚠️ The rhetoric against ICE and federal agents is skyrocketing, with some members of Congress comparing ICE to Nazis.
• 📈 Assaults on ICE and federal agents have increased by nearly 700% from a year ago.
• 🚨 This escalating rhetoric is seen as a contributing factor to potential political violence against law enforcement.

Democratic Party's Stance on Immigration

• 🗳️ Democrats are reportedly being told by constituents and activists to be willing to face violence in their resistance efforts.
• 📰 A New York Times report indicated that most Democrats in the 2019 primary stage supported decriminalizing crossing the border.
• 📈 Estimates suggest there are at least 20 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., with 10 million entering during Joe Biden's term.
• ⚖️ The current deportation rate is around 3,000 per day, which is insufficient to address the influx, requiring a significant increase to 7,000 deportations daily.

Proposed Solutions for Border Security

• 🚫 The argument is made that if there is no border or border enforcement, a permanent class of people will live in the country illegally.
• 💰 A major incentive for illegal immigration is the phenomenal job situation in the U.S. compared to other countries.
• 👶 The concept of birthright citizenship is identified as another incentive, allowing children born in the U.S. to undocumented parents to become citizens.
• ⚖️ There's a call to start removing not just violent criminals but also the estimated 20 million illegal immigrants currently in the country.

Democratic Party Capture by Activist Class

• 📢 The grassroots are reportedly telling Democrats they need to be willing to get shot when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies.
• 🎭 This is described as a dangerous virtue signal and part of a broader war on law enforcement.
• 🗣️ The belief is that the Democrat party has been captured by an activist class, rather than representing the views of the average Democrat.
• 📉 Leaders are seen as performing for social media and cable news rather than achieving tangible policy goals.
