Illegal Means Illegal: Every Illegal Migrant Is a Criminal
12th June 2025
The current unrest in Los Angeles and other major U.S. cities should serve as a wake-up call to the American public. When law enforcement finally starts doing its job under the leadership of President Donald Trump and border czar Tom Homan, chaos erupts. But not because of law enforcement. It’s because illegal aliens, who have been emboldened for years, are finally being held accountable.
Let’s be crystal clear. The term “illegal immigrant” is not a slur. It is a legal classification. Entering the United States without following proper legal channels is a crime. It is a willful violation of America’s immigration laws. Every person who crosses our border illegally has committed a federal offense. That makes them criminals by definition.
It doesn’t stop there. Illegal immigration is a gateway crime. It fuels a dangerous pipeline of drug smuggling, human trafficking, child exploitation, and cartel-driven violence. Coyotes, or human smugglers, charge thousands of dollars per migrant, many of whom never make it to their destination alive. The U.S. has no reliable data on how many illegal aliens have been kidnapped, forced into labor or sex trafficking, or used as drug mules by the cartels. But anyone who doubts this is happening is simply refusing to face reality.
And now, those same migrants are walking our streets in broad daylight. The images coming out of Los Angeles and places like Atlanta and Seattle are horrifying. Mobs are looting, fighting police, and openly defying the rule of law. These are not peaceful demonstrators. These are agitators who don’t even understand, let alone respect, the country they are trying to claim as their own. They are here illegally but act like they are entitled to special treatment.
And yet, they are protected by people like Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
