Democrats are racing to undermine the arrest of a prominent illegal alien activist, framing her as a simple grandmother who isn’t receiving due process. It is hard to believe that Tim Walz has not already jumped into the pot. After all, this illegal alien has a criminal history dating back more than 15 years and has been violating immigration laws for even longer, authorities say. Don’t high profile Democrats automatically jump in to defend such criminals?
Yes, they do. “Jeanette Vizguerra is a mother and pillar in her community,” Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet said Tuesday. “I am deeply concerned about ICE’s actions to detain her without any due process, like a deportation order. ICE should ensure Jeanette has legal counsel and immediately release her.” Other Democratic politicians echoed Bennet’s lies.
Without due process? This senator is either woefully ignorant or deliberately lying to the public. An ICE spokesperson noted:
“Jeanette Vizguerra is a convicted criminal alien from Mexico who has a final order of deportation issued by a federal immigration judge. She illegally entered the United States near El Paso, Texas, on Dec. 24, 1997, and has received legal due process in U.S. immigration court.”
Vizguerra’s criminal and immigration history dates all the way back to 2009. This includes forgery, driving without a license, failing to self-deport when she said she would as well as other immigration related issues. Yet the Democrats are angry and want to carve out an exception for her because she is a grandmother.
Vizguerra has chosen time and again to give this country the middle finger. Vizguerra must believe that her association with Democrats will protect her again. It is time to end this charade.
