With the gubernatorial race in Virginia heating up, immigration has become a major focal point for the candidates. With polls showing widespread public support for deporting criminal illegal immigrants, Republican candidate Winsome Earl-Sears is not going to let Democratic opponent Abigail Spanberger off the hook for her disparaging comments about ICE raids.
Last month, Spanberger made derogatory remarks about ICE raids at a Virginia courthouse. According to Spanberger, the raids were “heartbreaking and devastating” for immigrant communities. She went on to accuse the current administration of being “obsessed” with deportations.
These comments are not only disrespectful to our law enforcement officials who risk their lives every day to protect our communities, but they also show a lack of understanding of the important role ICE plays in keeping our communities safe.
Despite Spanberger’s attempt to paint herself as a champion for immigrant rights, her comments have only served to reveal her true beliefs and priorities. As a former CIA officer, one would expect her to have a better understanding of the importance of enforcing our country’s laws and protecting its citizens. However, it seems that in her pursuit for political gain, she has chosen to align herself with the far-left, anti-ICE rhetoric that has become all too common in today’s political climate.
On the other hand, Winsome Earl-Sears has been a vocal advocate for enforcing our immigration laws and deporting criminal illegal immigrants. As a Marine Corps veteran and a former member of the Virginia House of Delegates, she understands the importance of maintaining law and order in our communities. She also recognizes the impact that illegal immigration has on our economy and the safety of our citizens.
Sears has consistently called for stronger measures to crack down on illegal immigration and has been a staunch supporter of ICE. She has made it clear that she will not shy away from addressing this issue and will work with law enforcement to ensure that our borders are secure and our communities are safe.
The current administration’s policies have allowed ICE to carry out their duties more effectively, resulting in a significant decrease in illegal border crossings and crime rates. This has not only safeguarded our communities but has also prevented dangerous criminals from entering our country.
The recent raids at the Virginia courthouse were a prime example of ICE’s success in removing dangerous criminals from our streets. These individuals have been convicted of crimes such as drug trafficking, assault, and illegal re-entry. They have no place in our society and it is the responsibility of our government to ensure that they are deported.
It is easy for politicians like Spanberger to criticize ICE and disregard their efforts. However, the reality is that their actions have tangible results. By removing criminal illegal immigrants, they are making our communities safer and protecting our citizens.
As the caravan of migrants makes its way to the US-Mexico border, it is more important than ever to have strong leaders who will stand up for the rule of law and protect our communities. The choice is clear – between Sears, who will work to enforce our immigration laws and protect our citizens, and Spanberger, who will continue to belittle our law enforcement and put political gain above the safety of our communities.
In light of recent events, it is evident that the issue of immigration will continue to be at the forefront of the Virginia gubernatorial race. The citizens of Virginia must make their choice wisely. Do they want a candidate who will prioritize the safety and security of their communities, or one who will pander to the extreme left and undermine the efforts of law enforcement? It is up to the voters to decide in November.
