Laura Ingraham nailed it on her Fox News show The Ingraham Angle when she likened resisting ICE to a full-blown religion among Democrats and their activist allies. Diving into the source text, she skewers the party’s shift toward undermining immigration enforcement, painting it as a sacred rite where sanctuary cities and open-border zealots treat federal agents like heretics at the gates. Ingraham’s not just tossing shade; she’s spotlighting a cultural dogma that prioritizes illegals over citizens, complete with rituals like blocking deportations and funding migrant hotels while blue cities crumble under the weight of unchecked influxes. It’s a sharp reminder that when politicians worship at the altar of compassion over law, the real faithful—law-abiding Americans—get sacrificed on the altar of chaos.
Zooming out for context, this religion isn’t isolated; it’s the same ideological fervor that fuels assaults on the Second Amendment. Think about it: Democrats who sanctify resisting ICE are the same crew pushing red-flag laws and ATF overreach, framing gun owners as domestic threats while excusing criminal border-crossers who smuggle fentanyl and cartel guns. The parallels are uncanny—both erode federal authority selectively, turning enforcement into a partisan sacrament. Data backs this: ICE arrests plummeted 66% under Biden compared to Trump-era peaks (per ICE reports), mirroring how ATF’s pistol brace rule and bump stock bans bypass due process, all while sanctuary jurisdictions harbor gun-trafficking felons from the south.
For the 2A community, the implications are a clarion call: if resisting ICE is holy writ, then defending the right to bear arms must be our crusade. This border crisis floods streets with unvetted masses and illegal firearms, spiking crime in pro-2A strongholds like Texas border towns (FBI stats show 20%+ homicide jumps in some areas). Gun owners, often the first line of community defense, face demonization while actual threats roam free. Ingraham’s quip urges us to fight back—support ICE, back border-wall funding, and link 2A rights to sovereignty. Ignore the sanctuary sermon; arm up, vote hard, and protect the Republic before the high priests rewrite the Constitution.
