We will protect NY housekeepers we exploit!
Are many Tren de Aragua members moonlighting as maids in the Hamptons?
If not, then how can East Hampton Village Police Chief Jeffrey Erickson assure his constituents that he won’t help Immigration and Customs Enforcement deport their cleaning ladies?
Under President Trump, ICE has been arresting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes like rape, murder, and assault yet were inexplicably allowed to stay in the country.
Besides being common sense, it’s enormously popular with the American public.
So to paint Trump as the bad guy, Democrats have to lie about what he’s doing.
In Chicago, they claimed ICE had raided a school (it hadn’t). Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey said he had to protect an illegal migrant from raids (he didn’t).
The Hamptons’ “we will protect your domestic workers!” is simply more posturing.
No one is rounding up migrant workers who haven’t broken laws, as even East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo admits.
“I haven’t seen an ICE agent in this town in I can’t tell you how long,” he said.
Yet the East Hampton Town Board feels the need to hold a two-hour public hearing to discuss what isn’t going to happen, and virtue signal about how they are paladins of virtue.
“I want to assure everyone that this is the beginning of a conversation. It’s not a one-and-done statement, ‘Okay, we did our job, let’s move on,’ said Councilwoman Cate Rogers. “We’re invested. We’re your neighbors, and we’re with you.”
What a spectacle. Limousine liberals in multimillion-dollar second homes assuring the housekeeper they’re paying illegally under the table that they will protect them from immigration enforcement, so long as it isn’t Art Basel or Davos that week.
How dare Trump try to punish the workers we exploit. That’s our job!
