MICHAEL SHELLENBERGER: Imagine . . . a group of Americans . . . were in Mexico City and began throwing bricks at police officers, smashing store windows, setting fire to government vehicles, and waving the American flag. We would not walk away unharmed

A lot of people are upset about all these images of rioters in Los Angeles, waving the Mexican flag.  If protesters love Mexico so much, people are asking why they're so upset when the US enforces laws against illegal entry?  Imagine for a moment that a group of Americans, including myself, were in Mexico City and began throwing bricks at police officers, smashing store windows, setting fire to government vehicles, and waving the American flag.  We would not walk away unharmed, and yet in Los Angeles protesters did exactly that.  They attacked law enforcement, blocked ICE agents, and vandalized public buildings, and yet California leaders not only didn't defend the law but condemned those who tried to enforce it.  Governor Gavin Newsom called the deployment of 2000 National Guard troops to restore order "Purposely inflammatory."  LA Mayor, Karen Bass, said, "We will not stand for this," referring not to the attacks on police officers or destruction of public property, but to the federal response.  She reaffirmed her administration's ties to advocates of illegal immigration and made clear her allegiance was with the protesters not law enforcement what is truly inflammatory is not sending in National Guard it's standing by while mobs pelt law enforcement with bricks and fireworks then accusing those officers of oppression it's watching public spaces descend into chaos while calling the enforcement of laws the problem in wealthy neighborhoods the law is still being enforced if you torch a car in Beverly Hills the neighbors are going to demand that you are arrested if you do it in East LA while shouting political slogans you are engaging in protest this two-tiered enforcement is not Progressive, it's segregation by another name it creates one set of expectations for the politically connected and another for the disposable and in that framework working people especially immigrants families and hourly wage earners are abandoned they're the ones who walk their kids past the open air drug dealing they're the ones who shops are looted and whose cars are stolen

PATRICK J. BUCHANAN: The first imperative is an immediate moratorium on all immigration, such as the one we imposed from 1924 to 1965. That forty-year pause allowed the melting pot to work . . . A breathing space is desperately needed again.

OWEN BENJAMIN: This is how the current LA situation happened. Has nothing to do with politics it has to do with laziness.

It's got to be AI, right?  I mean it's fake, right?  I mean who would . . . , right?  I mean they are the salt of the earth, si?  Maybe at one time.  Then the Catholic church got into their heads teaching them all about Communist Liberation Theology, where la gente of Latin America should come to Norte America and take gringo's things because they would have belonged to la gente if he'd already been in Norte America, but instead los gringos toma mucho tierra.

MARTIN ARMSTRONG: These anti-ICE protestors have terrorized law enforcement and burned Los Angeles to the ground for the third day. All of that is OK, because then Newsom will ask for federal funds to rebuild the city.

they’re just trying to live their lives and pay their taxes.  --California Gov. Gavin Newsom

Theirs for the taking. https://t.co/CF1kdn29IH

From "Newsome--Typical Democrat," Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics, June 9, 2025. 

The Democrats are so caught up in their own propaganda that they have totally lost all common sense. Demanding that a returning gang member who was deported, now Newsom is daring Trump to have him arrested for violating not just the immigration issue, but his oath to defend the Constitution. California Gov. Gavin Newsom is defiant in his stance on illegal immigration. Instead of prioritizing law enforcement or public safety and the people who actually can vote legally, Newsom has doubled down on protecting illegal immigrants and violent protestors. He has declared that they’re “just trying to live their lives and pay their taxes.”

His comments come as Los Angeles is amid a violent usurpation against the American people. These anti-ICE protestors have terrorized law enforcement and burned Los Angeles to the ground for the third day. All of that is OK, because then Newsom will ask for federal funds to rebuild the city. He is not just a disgrace, but this is precisely what our computer projected when I stood up last November at our World Economic Conference and shocked the audience with the forecast that the Democratic Party would split and collapse as did the Federalists during the 19th century. 

The anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles have not just set people’s cars on fire, which is OK with Newsom since he hates fossil fuels anyway, but reached a new level with terrorist chants being heard amid the mayhem, and some displaying flags of other countries. Trump’s National Guard order came at the right moment, and now the U.S. Marines are being activated.

I am sure these are tax-paying, lawful citizens who now represent the Democratic Party?

Are they also paying into Social Security? How, without legal documentation?
