It's been a while since any of us have written about retired Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino. Bovino put up a lengthy post on Wednesday that I think is worth your attention. He's responding to a woman who's been in the U.S. since 1989 and is demanding amnesty at a Democrat press conference at Delaney Hall, the ICE detention facility that's been besieged by the unhinged and violent. I see Extreme Hakeem Jeffries there. We published a post earlier today about how climate change ranked 14th among voters' most important issues. Number 1 was the economy, and Number 2 was immigration. At this point, after ICE has been so demonized by radicals who don't want anyone detained or deported, no matter how long their rap sheet is, I'm not sure if more voters are still concerned with mass deportations or stopping ICE.
Anyway, enjoy this video from Breitbart:
Margarita Cielo Balbuena, a woman who has been in the U.S. since 1989 and cannot speak a WORD of English, demands amnesty at a Democrat presser about Delaney Hall:

Why? Just because you've been here?
Get the fuck out.

NOPE. You had time enough to make things right.

It’s called getting in line. A friend of mine did it and got her citizenship July 2020. That young liberal yelling makes this 1000x more embarrassing

Madness! First immigrants need to assimilate which means learning our language.

I wouldn't even consider traveling to, say, France for a week without putting in at least six months of learning the language. (Actually, I took two years of French in high school, but that was a long time ago.)
Bovino had seen enough and went off on a righteous rant:
Thank you Margarita Cielo Balbuena.

You have lived in the United States since 1989. That is 37 years. You still need a translator.
At a Democratic event you stood up and demanded a path to citizenship for anyone who has been here just 7 years.
Notice the arrogance. Notice the… https://t.co/WSPmNCqTqK
The post continues:
… entitlement.
After nearly four decades she still cannot function in English. Yet she feels perfectly justified demanding the full rights of citizenship for herself and millions of others who have not assimilated either.
This is the system working exactly as designed.
We have imported so many people so quickly that assimilation is no longer required.
Critical mass creates ethnic silos where English and the host culture become optional.
You can live your entire life here without learning our language or our way of life and still demand the right to vote and rewrite the country.
That is how America becomes balkanized and unrecognizable.
Mass deportations are the only policy that restores the pressure to assimilate.
Everything else is just managed decline.
Amen.
My grandparents came from Greece and Cuba. The first thing they did was enroll in English classes. My grandfather changed his name from Jose to Joseph. He was so proud to be an American citizen.

Thank you for not letting cheats get you to fold with their poor pitiful me sob stories. Margarita got mighty comfortable deceiving America.

The age of entitlement needs to meet the age of accountability and consequences

I call bs on her not knowing English. I have encountered quite a few that claim that they don't know English, as soon as I start speaking Spanish they are in shock, not long after that they start speaking English, plus there are free ESL classes. I don't have sympathy at all.

Consistently the only political figure that gets it

President Trump has a lot of work to do on the economy and deportations before midterms.
