ICE just conducted the largest immigration operation in Florida’s history, aptly named “Operation Tidal Wave.” The results? A staggering 1,120 criminal illegal aliens were arrested in just six days. That’s not my opinion; that’s a cold, hard statistic. And here’s where it gets really interesting: 63% of those arrested had existing criminal records. So much for the left’s narrative of peaceful, law-abiding illegal immigrants.
Governor Ron DeSantis, a man who understands the concept of law and order, insisted on full cooperation between local, state, and federal law enforcement. The result? An unprecedented success in immigration enforcement. This is what happens when you prioritize American safety over leftist virtue signaling.
Now, let’s examine the facts about who exactly was arrested. We’re talking about MS-13 gang members, sex offenders, and fugitives from justice. The idea that these individuals are simply seeking the American dream is absurd on its face. These are dangerous criminals who pose a direct threat to law-abiding citizens.
378 of those arrested already had final orders of removal. That means they were told to leave and chose to ignore our laws. The left’s position that we should just let this slide is, frankly, ridiculous. It’s a fundamental misunderstanding of how a sovereign nation operates.
Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that we followed the left’s open borders fantasy. What would be the logical conclusion? More crime, more strain on our resources, and a complete disregard for the rule of law. Is that the America we want? I think not.
In conclusion, facts don’t care about your feelings, and the facts about illegal immigration are clear. Operation Tidal Wave proves that when we enforce our laws, we can effectively combat illegal immigration and protect American citizens.
