Law and order issues separate Republicans from Democrats

The issues that will surely resonate most with voters in the US Presidential and Congressional elections in November are the threats to their own – and their families - personal safety and security posed by the escalating breakdown of law and order over the last twelve months.

The Democrats have supported:

• illegal immigration,
• stopping Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers seeking to deport illegal immigrants,
• sanctuary cities acting in defiance of Federal law
• defunding the police

The Democrats have failed to condemn:

• crowds tearing down public monuments,
• arson and looting of commercial areas during the course of violent riots in cities run by mainly Democratic Mayors and Governors
• The Capital Hill Autonomous Zone that barred police and Seattle City Hall officials.

Americans – as a result - are now seeing fellow Americans on their TV screens nightly:

• facing rampaging protesters hurling abuse and threats at other housebound residents
• being assaulted, robbed and murdered on the streets
• their businesses closed and boarded up – perhaps permanently

Resigning Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best summed up her feelings of frustration:

We have 800,000 calls for service every year. If you just lop off, even 100 officers, that's going to be highly detrimental to a department that wasn't staffed enough to deal with the calls we did have. And who is going to answer? I'm going to tell ya, at 3 a.m., when somebody is standing in the street in some kind of crisis mode, armed or unarmed, somebody is going to need to respond to address it.

The Democrats signed their own political suicide note for these 2020 elections back in July 2019 when 19 of 22 defendants were indicted on federal charges of racketeering and murder. They had entered the USA illegally from Central America. 3  had existing deportation orders against them whilst 5 others had sought asylum.

A federal indictment charged 16 of the 22 defendants - members of the MS 13 gang - with murders that are eligible for the death penalty; victims were beaten, tortured, and in one case, dismembered, with weapons that included knives, machetes, rocks, and pipes.

Democrats have refused to co-operate with President Trump in introducing urgent bipartisan legislation to stop continuing illegal entry into America.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D. Calif) gave illegal entrants facing deportation this advice:

An I.C.E. deportation warrant is not the same as a search warrant. If that is the only document I.C.E. brings to a home raid, agents do not have the legal right to enter a home.

If I.C.E. agents don't have a warrant signed by a judge, a person may refuse to open the door and let them in.

An administrative order of removal from I.C.E. or immigration authorities is simply not enough.

Pelosi’s concern for prolonging the stay of illegal immigrants rather than showing compassion for grieving American citizens was outrageous.

Kamala Harris has failed to rebut claims that ICE agents were no better than the KKK.

Sanctuary cities continue to protect criminals and felons illegally in the country. Biden’s pledge on outlawing contacts between police and immigration officials will turn the US into a sanctuary country

Democrats fear the Durham investigation report might be released before Election Day pinpointing Obama-Biden Department of Justice and FBI administration officials misleading the FISA Court to obtain two illegal warrants in October 2016 and January 2017 to spy on:

• an American citizen – Carter Page – and
• Trump’s 2016 electoral campaign and transitioning to President

Biden uttered not one word on any of these issues at the Democratic Party Convention – nor did any of the other speakers.

Trump certainly will at the Republican Party convention next week.
