Sean Hannity didn’t hold back on Friday’s Hannity show, torching Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) with the brutal line, It’s people like you that don’t care about the American people, during a fiery clash over ICE deportations and the Democrats’ soft touch on illegal immigration. Thanedar tried to pivot to humane tactics, but Hannity hammered home the grim reality: illegal immigrants committing heinous crimes—murders, rapes, assaults—leaving American victims in their wake. The Michigan Dem squirmed as Hannity rattled off examples, forcing the question: why prioritize border-jumpers over law-abiding citizens shelling out taxes for their own protection?

This exchange isn’t just cable TV theater; it’s a stark reminder of how open-border policies erode public safety, directly threatening the Second Amendment community. When unchecked illegal immigration floods sanctuary cities with criminals—think MS-13 gangs armed to the teeth—law-abiding gun owners become the first line of defense for their families and neighborhoods. ICE’s handcuffed operations mean more violent encounters spilling into suburbs, where concealed carriers step up because feds won’t. Thanedar’s deflections expose the Dem playbook: downplay migrant crime stats (FBI data shows non-citizens overrepresented in violent offenses) to push amnesty, all while blue states like Michigan strip self-defense rights with red-flag laws and mag bans. It’s no coincidence; weak borders breed chaos that anti-2A politicians exploit to justify disarming the very people keeping communities safe.

For the 2A faithful, this is a rallying cry: immigration enforcement isn’t peripheral—it’s foundational to preserving our rights. As Hannity nailed it, politicians like Thanedar betting against Americans are betting against the armed citizenry that secures the homeland. Support ICE surges, vote out border betrayers, and keep that sidearm chambered; the implications hit home harder than any debate zinger.
