Trump slams LA mayor for 'urging illegals to beat the system'

President Trump slammed the mayor of one of America's biggest cities after he tweeted a video assuring illegal immigrants of their constitutional rights.

Trump is visiting Los Angeles as part of a three-day West Coast tour that includes plans to speak with the organizers of the 2028 Olympic Games. On Sunday, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti tweeted his support for illegal immigrants, reminding them that the LA Police Department "does not coordinate with ICE or participate in immigration enforcement."

"No matter their immigration status, I want every Angeleno to know their rights and how to exercise them," Garcetti said. "Remember, you have the right to remain silent. You don't have to open your door to an ICE agent that doesn't have a warrant signed by a judge. You have the right to speak to a lawyer before signing any documents or speaking to law enforcement."

Trump has made restricting illegal immigration from the U.S. southern border a top priority of his administration and is building a promised wall there.

"The Mayor’s efforts to shield illegal aliens endangers the lives of the public and law enforcement who have to go into the field to apprehend those released," Trump tweeted. "He shouldn’t be urging illegals to beat the system, he should be urging them to safely turn themselves in!"

"Remember, you have the right to remain silent. You don't have to open your door to an ICE agent that doesn't have a warrant signed by a judge. You have the right to speak to a lawyer before signing any documents or speaking to law enforcement."

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Only US citizens are protected by the privileges and immunities enumerated in the US Constitution imo.

Regarding activist states trying to protect illegal immigrants, Democrats are effectively trying to change the outcome of the Civil War imo, evidenced by the following post-Civil War material from the Constitution and the congressional record.

”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship [emphasis added] before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had.” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.

In fact, the post-Civil War congressional record indicates that aliens do not have government protections, no right to vote for example.

" Whatever difference there may be as to what other right appertain to a citizen, all must agree that he has the right to petition and also to claim the Protection of the Government. These belong to him as a member the body politic, and the possession of them is what separates citizens of the lowest condition from aliens and slaves. To suppose that a State can make an alien a citizen or confer on him the right of voting would involve the absurdity of giving him the direct and immediate control of the action of the General Government [emphasis added], from which he can claim no protection and to which he has no right to present a petition." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See bottom half of 1st column.)

Also, regarding concerns that activist states may try to use the votes of illegal immigrants to change change the outcome of elections, the congressional record also indicates that doing so will nullify the Constitution’s “uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause.”

"Article I, Section 8, Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;"
" If the States can admit to the elective franchise those who are not citizens, thereby neutralizing the votes of citizens, not only the Federal power of naturalization becomes a nullity, but” * * * * "a minority of citizens by the aid of aliens may control the government of the States, and through the States the government of the Union [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See near middle of 1st column.)

Patriots need to elect a new patriot Congress that will not only promise to fully support PDJT's already excellent work for MAGA, now KAGA, but will also do this.

New lawmakers also need to promise to uphold their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution, the "uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause" for example, with respect to stopping illegal immigrants from voting.

Corrections, insights welcome.

Remember in November!

MAGA! Now KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)
