CBS is at it again, clutching their pearls over President Trump’s deportation machine targeting migrants who haven’t racked up criminal convictions yet. According to their latest hit piece, Trump’s officials have dramatically expanded removals of these so-called non-violent folks, framing it as some humanitarian crisis. But let’s peel back the layers: CBS isn’t just whining about immigration enforcement; they’re spotlighting a core tension in America’s sanctuary state experiments, where cities like Chicago and New York have become revolving doors for unvetted entrants. These aren’t choir boys—many are economic opportunists or worse, slipping through Biden-era loopholes that prioritized catch-and-release over vetting. Trump’s pivot back to basics? It’s a masterstroke, reminding us that borders aren’t optional, and neither is prioritizing citizens.
For the 2A community, this hits harder than a .308 recoil. CBS’s sob story glosses over the real-world fallout: unchecked migration floods high-crime urban zones where gun owners are already demonized and disarmed. Remember the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang turning NYC subways into no-go zones, or the MS-13 thugs who’ve turned parts of Long Island into warzones? These non-violent migrants today become tomorrow’s armed threats, exploiting lax laws to traffic guns, fentanyl, and violence while law-abiding Americans jump through ATF hoops for a suppressor. Trump’s deportations aren’t just policy—they’re a firewall protecting our right to self-defense from imported chaos. Sanctuary policies disarm us twice: first by restricting our carry rights, then by importing predators who don’t play by rules.
The implications scream urgency for gun owners: as Trump ramps up ICE ops, expect media hysterics to morph into outright assaults on enforcement, painting border hawks as xenophobes to soften us up for more red-flag laws and mag bans. But here’s the pro-2A play—double down on state-level resistance like Texas’s border razor wire and Operation Lone Star, which pair deportations with armed patrols. This isn’t about cruelty; it’s survival. When CBS cries for the innocents, remind them: America’s sovereignty secures our Second Amendment. Stay vigilant, stock up, and vote like your AR depends on it—because in migrant-fueled crime waves, it just might.
