New in PJ Media:
This is the Democrat Party today: A man who is running for a seat in the House of Representatives, Justin Pearson, has just refused repeated opportunities to affirm that there is, somewhere in the United States, a criminal illegal alien whom he wishes to deport.
The Department of Homeland Security maintains a “Worst of the Worst” list, which it says is “highlighting the worst of worst criminal aliens arrested by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).”
On the list at the moment Shayan Kahal, whose crimes are described as “Rape – Strongarm, Sex Assault – Sodomy-Woman-Strongarm, Sex Assault – Sodomy-Boy-Strongarm, Sex Assault – Sodomy-Girl-Strongarm.” Then there’s Abu Gbla, who needs to buy a vowel, and whose crimes are listed as “Assault, Larceny, Probation Violation, Abduct-No Ransom or Assault, Kidnapping, Kidnap Adult, Violation of a Court Order, Aggravated Assault – Police Officer-Strongarm, Damage Property.”
We also have Juan Garcia-Lopez, who has the proverbial rap sheet as long as your arm: “Fraud, Homicide-Willful Kill-Weapon, Flight – Escape, Cocaine – Possession, Vehicle Theft, Making False Report, Robbery, Aggravated Assault – Weapon, Weapon Offense, Possession Of Weapon, Marijuana – Possession, Resisting Officer, Burglary, Homicide, Burglary Tools – Possession, Homicide-Willful Kill-Family-Gun, Narcotic Equip – Possession, Drug Possession, Aggravated Assault – Public Officer-Strongarm.” By comparison, Pedro Ornelas is a piker; all he has to his name is “Sex Assault, Rape.”
The Worst of the Worst list goes on and on, running to no fewer than 2,575 pages with twelve entries per page (okay, page 2,575 only has eight). That’s 30,986 criminal migrants whom ICE has arrested, with many more at large and under the protection of the likes of Zohran Mamdani, Gavin Newsom and Tim Walz. Many of them are guilty of the most heinous crimes imaginable. But Justin Pearson, who is currently a Tennessee state representative and wants to go to Washington, doesn’t want to deport any of them. He didn’t say whether or not they’d be welcome to bunk at his house.
In a testy exchange with Scott Jennings on CNN, Pearson declared: “We have to abolish ICE. We have to abolish the Customs and Border Patrol in the way that they currently exist and replace them with something that actually does the work that we need for them to do, which is why we need a Congress that works.”
Jennings then asked, “What work is that, by the way?” Pearson, however, was unwilling to state any positive role for his projected replacement border protection service, instead telling Jennings that its role would not be killing American citizens, which he was claiming that the current agency does. Jennings, however, would not be fobbed off, and kept pressing Pearson on the question of whether the nation actually needs a government agency dedicated to removing illegal migrants.
There is more. Read the rest here.

One would have thought that the Dems could have at least picked a middle ground, where they’d deport all the rapists, murderers, burglars,… from the illegal alien population, but leave the landscapers, roofers, house cleaners alone. While I myself don’t agree w/ it, I do think that there is a good portion of the population that is there which would love to latch on to such an agenda. But the Dem’s are now completely captive to the “No-human-is-illegal” crowd, and so one has characters like Justin Pearson above

Yes, Infidel.
That would be the pragmatic thing for the Democrats to do.
The fact that they are not doing that speaks volumes.
