People say that the ICE agents should not be there and they should leave. It is true but the reason they are there is because the Mayor and the Governor are telling State and local police to ignore the law. The law says that when an illegal immigrant violates the law, they should contact ICE and they will deport him. No problem. However, since they are not contacting the ICE agents to pick them up in jail and are releasing them onto the streets, the ICE agents have to come get them. The agents are there picking them up on the street because they were released from jail. All they need to do to get the ICE agents to leave is follow the law and the ICE agents will be gone overnight. If it is that simple, why aren’t they doing it. All those illegal immigrants are voting for them because they allow the immigrants to live there, and give the immigrants free food, housing, education, and health care, even though they cannot vote legally. State and city officials allow illegal immigrants to register and vote in exchange for the free support. That is how they stay in power. In addition, all those daycares that don’t really exist but collect millions in tax money are doing so because the State and city governments allow them to. It is a pretty safe bet that a lot of that money is flowing back into the pockets of the mayor and governor and a lot of their friends in exchange for the State and city officials looking the other way. When State and city officials urge their citizens to attack the ICE agents and call on their citizens to prevent federal agents from enforcing the law, and then tell police not to interfere, they are putting the safety of their own citizens in jeopardy, as well as the lives of the ICE agents who are just doing their job.

The media also gives a false impression of the economy. During the terms of President Obama and President Biden, they reported jobs gained but not jobs lost. That gave the impression of increasing employment. For instance, when President Biden took office, he laid off all the Census workers and hired new ones. They promoted the number of new hires but failed to mention that they were replacing existing workers so there was no job gain. They also failed to mention that they were Census workers and the positions would have been filled even if the economy collapsed and government workers were the only ones working. It also varies by State and the media highlights losses but doesn’t tell people they are in liberal States. President Trump has lowered taxes and reduced costly government regulations which has enabled businesses to expand and stimulated the economy however, liberal States have continued to maintain their own high taxes and government regulations so businesses are fleeing those States to conservative States where taxes are lower and there are fewer government regulations. The media tells people how many jobs are lost when businesses close but does not tell people that those jobs are not lost but simply moved to other States. Stores are also closing in liberal States due to high theft due to lax law enforcement and high wages required by higher minimum wage requirements and inflation in those States. That is not due to President Trump’s policies but to policies in liberal States.

Many people are turning against President Trump because of the problems with inflation but fail to realize how complex the economy is. You can’t fix it with a simple change of policy. President Biden set Trump up with massive expenditures after he lost the election which fueled even more inflation which kicked in as President Trump took office. While Trumps tariffs did cause some increase in prices, they were necessary to force other countries to remove their tariffs. The US has allowed foreign goods in free while other countries have tariffs to protect their industry preventing them from buying American goods which destroyed American manufacturing and has created a massive trade deficit for years. We have been spoiled on cheap foreign goods but they have come at the expense of American jobs. American’s demand for higher wages have made it difficult to compete with cheaper foreign goods. It will take a while to rebuild America’s manufacturing. Some companies are hesitant to expand because they will face a return to higher taxes, renewed inflation, and more government regulations, if liberals return to power in 2028.

Welfare has hurt African Americans more than Whites because it was very difficult for males to get work that paid a living wage and a higher percentage of African-Americans families are single parent families, so a higher percentage of them have had to depend on it. Slavery destroyed families and men did not have to support a family. Jim Crow laws prevented Black men from getting work and an education so mothers had to support the family. Welfare continued to disrupt the families by keeping men out of the home. Since desegregation, some Black men have taken responsibility to better themselves and have worked to build strong families but most grew up without a father in the home and few have any role models to guide them. They have been helped as they have been able to get an education and get better jobs which has enabled them to move out of the slums and see White families that are functioning well but they are struggling to overcome two hundred years of broken families.
