The Heinous Hypocrisy of Demanding IDs From ICE Agents But Not Illegals

How do you spell hypocrite? D-e-m-o-c-r-a-t. For example, Democrats claim it’s practically equivalent to a crime against humanity if you demand IDs to vote or cross our border, but they screech about the “necessity” of requiring ICE agents to show identification to the criminals they’re arresting.

The fact that any Americans still buy the propaganda is mind-blowing. Criminals who are legally not allowed to be present in the U.S. must be protected while law enforcement attempting to protect Americans are smeared as the new Gestapo. It’s racist to ask for an ID to vote, but doxxing ICE agents is a triumph of justice. How much more outrageous can the lies grow?

It’s the same hypocrisy that makes Democrats decry teens with legal guns while insisting six-year-olds can decide to take permanently damaging “treatments” to “change” their sex. Likewise, we’re supposed to believe and care that Gazan children are “starving,” while Democrats push for the dismembering and beheading of American unborn babies. Make it make sense.

ICE is of course a major preoccupation of leftists right now. The Center Square reported earlier this month:

If approved, the VISIBLE Act would require immigration officers to clearly display their agency and last name or badge number on their outermost garment. It also prohibits ants from wearing nonmedical face coverings, “with exceptions for environmental hazards or covert operations.”

Assaults on ICE agents have gone up 700%, and doxxing websites have cropped up like poisonous weeds. The last thing needed is to make doxxing easier. But that’s the whole point — Democrats want to endanger ICE agents.

Of course, the Democrats have no problem with violent rioters wearing masks when they protest in support of Islamic jihadis or illegal alien criminals. The only identities that must not be protected are law enforcement’s. And of course, don’t you dare suggest that there should be vetting for illegal aliens storming across the border. No IDs necessary for them.

Contrast the VISIBLE Act with Democrats’ years of whining about voter ID laws. Under the racist and false assertion that black people have a harder time getting an ID, Democrats have tried to push for no ID requirements for voting (quite successfully in some states). Naturally what they really want is for illegal aliens to be able to vote. But they pretend it’s about “voter rights.” Stacey Abrams, for instance, called voter ID reforms a “redux of Jim Crow in a suit and tie.”

Sleepy Joe Biden wittily referred to voter ID laws as Jim Crow too (Democrats aren’t exactly imaginative), ironic considering that it was the Democrat party that imposed Jim Crow. “It is the most pernicious thing — this makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle,” the former Meanderer-in-Chief announced.

And Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga) compared voter ID laws to — well, you guessed it. “We are witnessing right now a massive and unabashed assault on voting rights unlike anything we have seen since the Jim Crow era. This is Jim Crow in new clothes,” he pronounced.

The great Mark Twain said, “Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.” To adapt that statement to the issue at hand, I suggest, “Suppose you were a Democrat, and suppose you were a hypocritical liar; but I repeat myself.”
