Protest Against Freedom
“Legality is not synonymous with compatibility.” (The Federalist, 6/02/2025). “For decades, (the U.S. immigration system) has admitted individuals not on the basis of shared values or cultural compatibility, but on box-checking (‘prioritizing paperwork over principles’).” Two examples of this ‘dangerous immigration system’ are Mohamed Sabry Soliman (who over staid his visa and burned several peaceful protestors in Colorado) and Kilmar Abrego Garcia (who was deported and has been mistakenly returned to U.S. for trial). Both individuals demonstrate “not all cultures are equal, and not all people are compatible.”
To look at the list of sponsors for the “No King” protests that began in Los Angeles (LA) you will find many anti-American organizations who have seduced the anti-Trump, anti-MAGA crowd to believe that they are protesting because they think “Trump is trying to be king.” The truth is these protestors are ignorant of facts and being duped. One of the main organizers of the nationwide “No King” protests is Ron Gochez, a teacher in the LA Unified School District and a member of “the Union del Barrio, a Marxist revolutionary group.” Gochez told Democracy Now that “this is “ancestral land” of “Indigenous people” that was unjustly taken by the United States.” In an interview on X he tried to “paint illegal aliens as indigenous people with rights to the land.”
According to The Federalist correspondent Brianna Lyman, “Just weeks before violent riots broke out in LA, supposedly in defiance of immigration enforcement, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum threatened to “mobilize” against the United States after Republicans sought to tax remittances to Mexico.” Taxes on remittances from the U.S. to Mexico account for a substantial portion of Mexico’s GDP.
“According to the New York Post, citing an estimate from the Joint Committee on Taxation, the remittance tax would bring into U.S. coffers roughly $26 billion over the next ten years. Sheinbaum reportedly called the proposal “unacceptable.” CNN reported, (6/10/2025), “On Sunday afternoon, responding to the riots over the weekend, Sheinbaum said Mexican nationals living in the U.S. are “heroes” and denounced President Trump’s attempts to enforce federal immigration law.”
“The appearance of Mexican flags in the L.A. riots is exactly what it appears to be: a declaration of war by a foreign power.” John Daniel Davidson, Senior Editor at The Federalist.
Jarrett Stepman, columnist for the Daily Signal, explains “They aren’t just waving those flags because they don’t want to be deported back to Mexico. The message they are sending is often not even pro-immigration, but bizarrely nativist.” “The idea being that Mexicans and Latin Americans have an Indigenous right to California and other Western states annexed during the Mexican American War. They have a right to take it back.”
Mr. Stepman further reminds readers of historical fact; “The U.S. actually paid for the states it acquired from Mexico after winning the war,” noting the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848). “Mexico doesn’t have a right to U.S. land because it lost a war over 150 years ago.” The U.S. paid for the land.
Those participating in the 1,500 “No King” protests across the nation are rebels against freedom.
We have been told time and time again these illegal immigrants came to America for a better life and now they are wreaking disorder and turmoil.
Gov. Newsom and the mayor of L.A. denied there was a problem. “It’s under control,” they said as cars burned, American flags burned, Federal buildings were damaged, and police were assaulted. The ‘No King’ protests were planned to distract from honoring the 250th anniversary of the Army and our military men and women who protect American freedom. To maintain American’s freedom the rule of law is NOT optional. Trump stepped in to enforce law and order when Mr. Newsom refused to.
California doesn’t belong to Mexico nor does any other state of the U.S. “Foreign nationals do not have a right to stay in the United States.”
