Blue-state governors are doing everything they can to keep the Biden immigration crime wave alive \u2014 and will keep it up until their voters make them stop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The latest atrocity: Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger failed to intervene to prevent the release of Jose Hernandez, an illegal from El Salvador arrested in March for molesting and abusing a 5-year-old girl then remanded on a measly $5,000 bond.<\/p>\n

Monsters that sick never stop at one victim; such low bail almost ensures Hernandez \u00a0will vanish once he hits the streets, free to rape more children.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how it goes in sanctuary jurisdictions like Virginia: The safety of law-abiding folks comes last, the \u201crights\u201d (privileges!) of illegal immigrants come first.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spanberger insists hers is not a sanctuary state, but her policies are explicitly meant to protect illegals.<\/p>\n

She ended Virginia\u2019s 287(g) agreements, which ease co-operation of local law enforcement with ICE; she\u2019s refused to veto bills to prohibit ICE from making arrests at courthouses; she\u2019s into law a ban on ICE agents masking up \u2014 a move that lets lefty fanatics target them and their families.<\/p>\n

And she claims to be a moderate<\/em>.<\/p>\n

So too does New York\u2019s own Gov. Kathy Hochul \u2014 who recently pushed through what may be the most radical anti-enforcement law in the country, barring even informal <\/em>co-operation between local cops and ICE and banning ICE agents from wearing masks and from entering public parks.<\/p>\n

Gov. Gavin Newsom\u2019s California issues commercial driver licenses to untrained and often non-English speaking illegals, who then cause horrific death and destruction by smashing trucks into passenger cars \u2014 as Biden-released Manvir Singh did in late May, the fourth <\/em>illegal-immigrant truck driver with the last name \u201cSingh\u201d accused in a fatal crash since last year.<\/p>\n

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker\u2019s allergy to locking up illegal criminals left Jose Medina-Medina free to murder New York-born college student Sheridan Gorman in Chicago in March: The Venezuelan illegal waved in under Biden got busted for shoplifting but let loose (lest ICE deport him) thanks to \u201csanctuary\u201d protections.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all part of Trump Derangement Syndrome: The prez wants illegal migrants deported, so Democrats work to keep them here and also demonize ICE, the main tool for that work.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s especially eager to expel those who commit new crimes, so Dems create extra protections for them \u2014 even though the public overwhelmingly wants them gone.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

This is the exact same lunacy that led the Biden administration to give up on virtually all border enforcement as soon as took office in 2021 \u2014 a step Joe knew was nuts, but which his staff insisted was a core demand of the party\u2019s base.<\/p>\n

Anger at open borders was key to President Donald Trump\u2019s re-election in 2024, and this new madness will surely bring its own voter backlash, at least in purplish states like Virginia.<\/p>\n

Republicans in Congress should be courting that blowback now, with floor votes on Delilah\u2019s Law \u2014 to bar states from issuing commercial driver\u2019s licenses to illegal immigrants \u2014 in the runup to the November elections.<\/p>\n

But drastic action, such as Homeland Security chief Markwayne Mullin\u2019s threat to cripple sanctuary-city airports, will only invite backlash in the opposite direction, just as did his predecessor Kirsti Noem\u2019s Minneapolis misadventure.<\/p>\n

Blue-state immigration insanity is taking lives all across the country, but brute federal force won\u2019t work: It\u2019s going to require the slow slog of political persuasion.<\/p>\n
