Man's inhumanity to man. The Democrats have mastered it.
A version of Les Misérables, new to U.S. viewers, began airing on PBS Sunday night. While even nominally civilized people of the West were cognizant of the cruelty human beings were capable of for hundreds of years, Victor Hugo's novel of 1862 was an exceptional rendition of man's capacity for barbarity. While Lincoln and the abolitionists were fighting to end slavery in America after having won independence from England, France was still suffering the disastrous consequences of its own ten-year revolution.
That nation lacked the spirit of humanity that animated our revolution and resulted in the American Constitution. Their revolution devolved into mass murder. The Reign of Terror began when the Jacobins seized power in 1793. Thousands were guillotined, and Christianity was eradicated.
Sound familiar? Our left has driven itself into a Jacobin frenzy. If they could guillotine President Trump and every one of his supporters and get away with it,many leftists would.

They actually do believe we should all be discounted, erased, disempowered. Our votes should not count in their world. They are smart and entitled; we are stupid and should not be heard.
It has taken many centuries to arrive at the moment in time in which we now live and breathe. The American miracle, our Constitution and market economy, has brought wealth and security to millions of people on the planet. And yet to the global left, the U.S. is a scourge to be eradicated, just as Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, should be extinguished. This is how lunatic the Left has become.
They revere power and control over liberty, over freedom for every individual. They do not count or see us as individuals; they see us all as members of one identity group or another. We are black, white, gay, trans, rich, poor, etc. We are nothing to the Left but faceless members of a privileged, oppressed, or hated bracket of one kind or another. All of us, no matter what category to which we have been assigned, are either pawns in their game of power over all or objects of contempt for our noisy efforts and, in 2016, success in electing someone we chose. Oh, the horror! They cannot abide their loss and self-righteously set out to undo it. Of this, there is no longer any doubt. They attempted a coup and failed. Now they are really mad!
The migrants attempting to enter the U.S. illegally at the southern border do present a major crisis, despite the Democrats' protestations to the contrary. They know how serious it is, but giving in to Trump's attempt to implement border security is impossible for this crowd of naysayers. They would rather see the country overrun with illegals, knowing many of them are gang members, cartel operatives, trafficked women and children, and persons with no knowledge of modern civilized behavior because they have never been socialized into such a political order. These are the people our Democrats are inviting to breach our borders by the thousands in hopes of derailing Trump.
How dumb is this? Really dumb. Now that Trump suggested the possibility of delivering these migrants to those virtue-signaling sanctuary cities, the same migrant-loving left is up in arms with outrage. How dare he put those pawns in our cities? This after the mayors and governors of sanctuary cities and states insist their states and cities are safer because of all their illegal residents. Hmmm. One has to wonder: how many Hondurans will it take to lower the crime rate in Chicago? The Democrats lie about the crime stats, and they lie about wanting more illegals in their own cities.
All of this brings us back to man's inhumanity to man. The Democrats' party used to be viable. Men like Truman and JFK loved the country and wanted to do right by its people. That began to change with LBJ, a political thug if there ever were one. Carter was just weak and ineffectual. Clinton was surprisingly moderate after he lost the House. Obama did incalculable damage to the nation; it will be years before the truth of his desecration of America is written by legitimate historians. He was a stealth president who set out to transform the country and largely succeeded to that end. He was a race-hustler of the first order who succeeded in escalating the racial rage of American blacks. He did it on purpose and was wildly effective.
All of the Democrats running for president have prostrated themselves before the ridiculous and corrupt Al Sharpton. Not one of them has the guts to deny fealty to this horrid man. Not one. The Democrats' party today is defined by Ocasio-Cortez; Tlaib; and Ilhan Omar, the woman who thinks the crime of 9/11 was "some people" doing "something" whose most important consequence was a rise in Islamophobia. The party is led by men like Jerald Nadler, Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Ted Leiu; each of them, all of them, are intellectually challenged. One has only to see them confronted by the glorious Candace Owens to know this is true. There is not a wise man or woman among them. Not one. They have just become hatefully anti-American and inhumane. Hugo's Javert pursued Valjean like the Democrats of today are harassing Donald Trump. All those who know the book should remember that it was Valjean who was the good man.

Sanctuary city mayor, Trump trade barbs on immigration
President Donald Trump struck back at pro-open borders Oakland Mayor Libby Schaff after she accused him of using illegal aliens as political pawns to punish pro-immigration Democrats.
Even though she proclaims to welcome illegal aliens to find a safe haven in Oakland, California – which she has proudly declared a “sanctuary city” – Schaff considered it punishment having to receive the burden of illegal immigrants after being apprehended and taken into custory by border patrol agents.
Exchanging immigration blows …
Schaff began the back-and-forth over immigration policy last week, when she responded to a report from Washington, D.C.’s main left-leaning daily stating that aides at the White House had considered releasing detained illegal immigrants into sanctuary cities as political payback.
Hold on, now – there's a better approach
Chad Groening (OneNewsNow.com)
An immigration reform activist believes there's a better alternative for the Trump administration to deal with illegal immigrants than sending them to Democratic-controlled strongholds like sanctuary cities.
Matt O'Brien, director of research at the Federation for American Immigration Reform, admits he has a problem with the president's approach.
"It's definitely hilarious to hear him exposing the hypocrisy of these people and calling them to account for their silliness," he tells OneNewsNow. "But having worked for ICE and being an enforcement kind of guy, I just wonder if this is really the right approach.
"It's great as political theater, but from a practical standpoint I'm not sure how far it goes in protecting the citizens of the United States."
O'Brien argues for a better alternative.
"Under the terms of Trump v. Hawaii – the case that dealt with the travel ban – it was pretty clear that the president has broad authority to impose additional restrictions on immigrants and on the manner [in which] they enter the country and the conditions of their entry if there is a crisis," he explains.
"… I think his best bet, instead of releasing these people into the interior of the United States, would be to actually put out an executive order under [U.S. Code] 1182f saying for these countries and people coming from 'X' region, asylum is no longer available; you have to seek refugee status through a U.S. embassy or consulate."

“White House officials have tried to pressure U.S. immigration authorities to release detainees onto the streets of ‘sanctuary cities’ to retaliate against President Trump’s political adversaries, according to Department of Homeland Security officials and email messages reviewed by The Washington Post,” the Post’s Rachael Bade and Nick Miroff claimed in a report Thursday. “Trump administration officials have proposed transporting detained immigrants to sanctuary cities at least twice in the past six months – once in November, as a migrant caravan approached the U.S. southern border, and again in February, amid a standoff with Democrats over funding for Trump’s border wall.”
This contention was more or less confirmed when White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley informed the conservative media over the weekend that the Trump administration is actively working with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in a joint effort to commence the transfer of illegal immigrants from border regions to sanctuary cities – which are predominantly Democratic strongholds.
"They have said they wanted all of these illegal aliens into their communities," Gidley told Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro on her Justice with Judge Jeanine show Saturday, according to The Hill. "We're working with DHS, we're working with ICE, to try and make sure that happens because after all, it's what they want. They should not say, 'This is retribution politically;' they should say, 'This is an olive branch.'"
However, Schaff appeared to be anything but welcoming when she caught wind of potentially getting more immigrants delivered to her liberal Northern California stronghold across the bay from San Francisco. Her unreceptiveness to the idea of receiving illegals is a complete departure from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) contention that newcomers (illegal immigrants) should be readily accepted because they bring America a “constant reinvigoration of hope, determination, optimism, courage, to make the future better for the next generation,” as quoted by CNSNews.
“After the Washington Post revealed the proposed policy, Schaaf – in an interview with KTVU-TV – called the policy idea an ‘outrageous abuse of power,’ characterized it as un-American, and said the Trump administration essentially proposed using human beings as ‘instruments of political payback,’" TheBlaze recounted. “In a separate interview with CNN, Schaaf similarly denounced the proposed policy, but added that she is ‘proud to be the mayor of a sanctuary city.’"
The president indicated that Schaaf – along with other sanctuary city majors and open borders activists – are hypocrites if they do not welcome illegals with open arms, and he could not fathom the idea of releasing them in other areas where Americans recognize the threat illegal immigrants pose to America’s safety and the toll they take on the economy.
“Trump hit back at Schaaf on Saturday, questioning why non-sanctuary cities should be forced to carry the burden of caring for illegal immigrants when sanctuary cities already welcome them,” TheBlaze’s Chris Enloe noted.
The 52-year-old liberal mayor was quick to play the race card, once again – further inciting the racial tension already plauguing the country.
“Schaaf swung back, accusing the president of ‘fanning hate and division,’" Enloe noted.
Never being one to be out-tweeted, Trump challenged the pro-immigration mayor to act according to the role of a sanctuary city leader that she proclaims to be by rolling out the red carpet for illegals apprehended at the southern border – a comeback to which Schaff did not respond.
“About 30 minutes later, Trump responded by declaring the legal right to release illegal immigrants in sanctuary cities while demanding, perhaps tongue-in-cheek, that California – a liberal safe haven – accept them,” Enloe recapped.
This message was relayed through the presidents’ favorite form of media coverage – Twitter.
“Just out: The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to sanctuary cities,” Trump tweeted Sunday. “We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level – especially by the state of California, which is well known or its poor management & high taxes!”
Changing tune
In direct contrast to her proclamation that receiving illegal aliens into communities in the U.S. is a blessing, Pelosi’s office blasted Trump’s proposed delivery of illegals to sanctuary cities as a ruthless shenanigan.
“The extent of this administration’s cynicism and cruelty cannot be overstated,” Pelosi spokeswoman Ashley Etienne contended, according to the Washington Post. “Using human beings – including little children – as pawns in their warped game to perpetuate fear and demonize immigrants is despicable.”
Build the wall, tear down sanctuary cities
Trump has made a strong case for a continuous secure border wall along the southern border since his 2016 presidential campaign, and he has also publicized his disdain for sanctuary cities that harbor border-breakers.
Even the leftist daily in the nation’s capital recognized the president’s unwavering concern about the border crisis that has been stymied by Democrats refusing to fund his proposed border wall.
“President Trump has made immigration a central aspect of his administration, and he has grown increasingly frustrated at the influx of migrants from Central America,” the Post’s Bade and Miroff pointed out. “He often casts them as killers and criminals who threaten U.S. security, pointing to cases in which immigrants have killed U.S. citizens – including a notable case on a San Francisco pier in 2015, and he has railed against liberal sanctuary-city policies, saying they endanger Americans.”
Less than a month after the White House suggested to ICE that it should transport illegal detainees to sanctuary cities, the president spoke at the Safe Neighborhoods Conference in Kansas City, Missouri, and expressed his contempt for the safe havens set up by pro-immigration Democrats.
“These outrageous sanctuary cities are grave threats to public safety and national security,” Trump told supports at the event on December 7, according to the Post. “Each year, sanctuary cities release thousands of known criminal aliens from their custody and right back into the community. So they put them in, and they have them, and they let them go, and it drives you people a little bit crazy, doesn’t it, huh?”
Sanctuary Cities Welcome Illegal Aliens with ‘Open Arms’ While 38K American Veterans Remain Homeless
4:23
Sanctuary cities across the United States are responding to President Donald Trump’s threat to bus border crossers and illegal aliens to their jurisdictions, saying they plan to welcome all illegal immigration with “open arms” despite soaring homelessness problems.
Last week, Trump threatened to bus border crossers and illegal aliens into sanctuary cities and states, like California and New York City, if the country’s asylum laws were not changed. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Sunday confirmed that the White House is considering the plan.
“The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities,” Trump posted on Twitter over the weekend. “We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or it’s poor management & high taxes!”
Sanctuary city mayors like Oakland, California, Mayor Libby Schaaf have responded to Trump’s threat by saying they plan to welcome any and all illegal aliens to their cities — even those cities that are struggling with rising homelessness. Currently, there are nearly 38,000 homeless American veterans across the country.
“Oakland welcomes all, no matter where you came from or how you got here,” Schaaf wrote on Twitter.
As of 2017, there were more than 2,700 Oakland residents who were homeless — an increase of 25 percent when compared to two years before. In all of Alameda County, there are about 5,630 homeless residents. In all of California, there are nearly 130,000 homeless residents, including nearly 11,000 homeless American Veterans.
Sanctuary city New York City’s Mayor Bill de Blasio originally blasted Trump for the plan, claiming the president was using illegal aliens as “chess pieces,” but he then advocated for giving illegal aliens driver’s licenses in order to attract more illegal aliens to the state.
“Undocumented immigrants are our neighbors and part of the backbone of our economy,” de Blasio wrote online. “It’s mind-boggling that they aren’t allowed to have driver’s licenses in New York State.”
New York City homelessness has reached the highest levels since the 1930s when the country struggled through the Great Depression. Today, there are nearly 64,000 homeless residents in New York City, including more than 15,000 homeless families with almost 23,000 homeless children. This is the largest metro area homeless population in the country. There are more than 1,200 homeless American veterans living in New York state.
In interviews with the Daily Beast, sanctuary city mayors from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Chicago, Illinois; and Cambridge, Massachusetts, said their jurisdictions would be happy to welcome all illegal aliens.
Philadelphia, Chicago, and Cambridge have a combined homeless population of at least 12,000 residents. In the state of Massachusetts, alone, there are now more than 20,000homeless residents, including almost 1,000 homeless American veterans.
“The city would be prepared to welcome these immigrants just as we have embraced our immigrant communities for decades,” Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said.
“As a welcoming city, we would welcome these migrants with open arms, just as we welcomed Syrian refugees, just as we welcomed Puerto Ricans displaced by Hurricane Maria and just as we welcome Rohingya refugees fleeing genocide in Myanmar,” Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said.
Burlington, Vermont, Mayor Miro Weinberger said in a statement that illegal aliens were vital to making his city “more prosperous” and “more diverse.”
“We know from decades of experience that newcomers to Burlington will make us more prosperous, more diverse and stronger, just as generations of past immigrants have driven our past growth and success,” Weinberger said.
In total, there are more than 550,000 American residents who are homeless nationwide. Meanwhile, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 million illegal and legal immigrants every year — the overwhelming majority of which are low skilled workers who compete for jobs against America’s poor, working, and middle class. The Washington, DC-imposed mass immigration policy drives housing costs up for Americans, economists have found.

FACTS ON THE “REAL LATINO AMERICA” IN MEXICO’S SECOND LARGEST CITY OF LOS ANGELES:
(these are highly DATED stats)
This is another "fact" spun from the 2004 op-ed by Heather Mac Donald, whose article refers to a single Los Angeles gang and the conjecture of an unnamed federal prosecutor.
1. "40% of all workers in L.A. County are working for cash and not paying taxes. . . . This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card." The Mexican tax-free economy in Los Angeles County is estimated to be in excess of $2 billion dollars a year.
2. "95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens . . . "
3. "75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens."
4. "Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers." The County of Los Angeles hands Mexico’s anchor baby breeders more than a BILLION DOLLARS a year in welfare.
5. "Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally." California has the largest and most expensive prison system in the country. Half the inmates are now Mexicans. Half the murders in California are by Mexican gangs.
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
7. "The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border."
8. "Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal."
immigrants.
9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.
10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.
THE STAGGERING COST OF THE WELFARE STATE MEXICO AND THE LA RAZA SUPREMACY DEMOCRAT PARTY HAVE BUILT BORDER to OPEN BORDER’
According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform’s 2017 report, illegal immigrants, and their children, cost American taxpayers a net $116 billion annually -- roughly $7,000 per alien annually. While high, this number is not an outlier: a recent study by the Heritage Foundation found that low-skilled immigrants (including those here illegally) cost Americans trillions over the course of their lifetimes, and a study from the National Economics Editorial found that illegal immigration costs America over $140 billion annually. As it stands, illegal immigrants are a massive burden on American taxpayers.
Cher: Los Angeles ‘Can’t Take Care of Its Own, How Can It Take Care of’ More Immigrants
2:23
Pop icon Cher said Sunday that Los Angeles, California, “can’t take care of its own” residents, much less newly arrived illegal and legal immigrants.
Cher said she failed to understand how the city of Los Angeles in the sanctuary state of California could afford to admit and take care of any more immigrants when city officials have failed to care for homeless, veterans, and poverty-stricken Americans.
“I Understand Helping struggling Immigrants,but MY CITY (Los Angeles) ISNT TAKING CARE OF ITS OWN.WHAT ABOUT THE 50,000+Citizens WHO LIVE ON THE STREETS.PPL WHO LIVE BELOW POVERTY LINE,& HUNGRY? If My State Can’t Take Care of Its Own(Many Are VETS)How Can it Take Care Of More,” Cher said.
The post came after President Trump threatened to bus border crossers and illegal aliens into sanctuary cities and states, like California, if the country’s asylum laws were not changed. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed that the White House is considering the plan.
In response, Democrat mayors across the country — like New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Oakland, California Mayor Libby Schaaf — have welcomed bringing illegal aliens and border crossers to their cities.
While left-wing mayors say they will continue to admit any and all illegal and legal immigrants, Los Angeles is home to the second largest homeless population in the country, second to only New York City. About 50,000 residents of Los Angeles are homeless and about 7.5 percent of California’s American Veteran population is homeless.
As the city remains crippled by homelessness and skyrocketing housing costs, Los Angeles metro area is also home to the second largest illegal alien population — with nearly a million illegal aliens living in the region, according to Pew Research Center.
Last year, economists at Deakin University found that immigration — both illegal and legal — drives up housing prices on average, with the researchers writing “we find no evidence that house prices sink as a result of immigration.”
