Fmr. Obama DHS official calls for halt to immigration enforcement because of Texas school shooter

In the aftermath of Tuesday’s shocking tragedy in Uvalde, Texas where a gunman cold bloodedly massacred 19 young children in their elementary school classrooms, it took little time for leftists to exploit the day’s horrors to advance their political agenda.

One of those who sought to hijack the deadly mass shooting carried out by an 18-year-old suspect who also claimed the lives of two adults before he was taken out by a heroic lone Border Patrol agent was Juliette Kayyem, former Assistant Secretary for Homeland Security under Barack Obama who called for the federal government to stop enforcing immigration laws in the area, a blatantly political statement.

Kayyem joined anchor Jake Tapper on CNN’s “The Lead” where she said, “From an investigation standpoint, I’m going to do what the facts tell me now, so I’ve got demographics first of all, an 80 percent Hispanic school district, so the most important thing for the federal government to do right now is to say there will be no immigration enforcement during this period in that area.”

“It has a large immigration population,” she said. “You want parents with their kids, you don’t want people hiding right now and we need to make that clear, ASAP because of the political issues in Texas.”

Later in the segment, she emphasized her stance.

“This investigation is really going to go to motive at this stage and then, of course, what’s happening to the families. I want to say one more time, though, and it’s important. Again, I don’t know motives, we don’t know motives. I am just telling you demographics. It is a predominantly Hispanic population with a large immigrant community, relatively near San Antonio,”she said.

“We need the federal government to say right now, everyone is essentially safe harbor right now in terms of immigration status,” she said. “We need people to come forward, not to be fearful of immigration status, get their kids, get their family members, because what happens in incidents like this is when we’re going to have a strong police presence, a strong federal presence, we know this, a lot of people do not react, especially if their status is unknown, do not react to police presence as you or I may.”

“And we want to make sure that they know, despite all the politics that are going on in Texas right now, it’s the federal government that’s in charge of immigration enforcement, and people are safe,” Kayyem continued in her assailing of Texas politics. “Get your kids, get your families together. Do not hide. The White House just needs to say that right now. This should not be delayed.”

Kayyem also described the shootings as “18 little bodies destroyed by heavy artillery” in another CNN appearance with Anderson Cooper following a graphic Twitter thread.

Whether President Joe Biden will heed her irresponsible demand to shut down immigration enforcement in the area remains to be seen but as was evident by his Tuesday night speech to the public on the tragic school shooting incident – the worst since Sandy Hook in 2012 – it’s all about politics regardless of the human cost.

  3. Halt to immigration enforcement? WTF is this dumb democrat talking about?

  4. When you see this response to the shooting, you have to wonder who was really behind it. This was another tragedy perpetrated by another coward who chose a soft target, and our administrations response is “….it’s all about gun control…” No it isn’t. It’s about the fact that we’ve had people just like Joe, and he’s one of them, sitting on their butt in congress serving those special interests that pay so well, rather than the American population that continues to trust them. This is another issue that will go ignored after it’s chewed to death, just like that “war on drugs” that still kills; that broken immigration and border protection that brings traffickers, drugs, and illegal immigrants. This list could easily become another essay to be ignored unless we start to do something about this failure.

  5. What the HECK are you talking about? What does this shooting have to do with immigration or the border for that matter? WHAT? Are you really that STUPID?

  7. All I’m hearing is, allow and support the crime of illegal immigration and that’ll help stop the crime of murder??? Are you friggin serious??? What a pathetic idiot.

  8. I saw this Vampiress yesterday on Tapper’s show. She was rambling and breathless. First of all, her ignorance and racism are astounding. She has no idea how border towns and Mexican Americans and undocumented residents work in communities.
    Facts:

    • Uvalde is about 70 miles away from Ciudad Acuña and Piedras Negras, Mexico. *Uvalde is about 80 % Hispanic.

    *In the last Presidential election, Uvalde county remained overwhelmingly Republican, 59.7% to 39.4%. (bestplaces.com)

    Fallacies:

    • What this outsider does not get, but ASSUMES, is that all Hispanic people want open borders. WRONG. Hispanic Americans are Americans. They value law and order. They love America.
    • That illegal residents will go into hidey holes and sit on important info about this shooter or future shooters. Uvalde is not New York or Washington DC. It is rural and small. Newsflash: People in border towns are not judgemental of their neighbors’ legal status. (Unless they are criminals!) Neighbors are seen as people and part of the community, regardless of citizenship status. There is an ocean of differences between being an undocumented resident who has a job, and who is law-abiding. They see themselves as somewhat apart from the never-ending stream of strangers that would steal from their house or could take their jobs because the immigrants are desperate and will work for lower wages.
    • Ms. Juliette is out of her league and is acting like a know-it-all. A Democrat way to behave.

  9. What the hell does immigration enforcement have to do with a crazy person shooting kids? Sounds like a complete bullshite linkage.

  11. What is so absurd and knee jerk reaction is the US would not be deporting a parent of a child killed in this massacre – Answer to our immigration problems is to close the borders, finish the wall and shore up leaks.

  12. Immigration should have never started! All illegals need to come the LEGAL WAY or not at all. IMO, Biden is trying to change the make up of this country, and that should get him impeached, if his incompetence doesn’t! WHERE IS THE CONGRESS? IMO, Biden is breaking our laws, and we need COMPETENT leadership NOW! We need a new election, because IMO, this administration was NOT LEGALLY elected!

  13. This little f*** was brought here illegally. If you idiots would follow the LAW, we would not have had this tragedy. Open borders is rampant and illegal.

  14. And you wonder why the world is so f##ked up? Where did Obama come up with idiots like Kayyem? And Tapper, a Leftist pig, nods like it makes sense.

  15. CAN THANK THE DEMOCRATS FOR THE ILLEGALS! TIME TO START REMOVING EVERY DEMOCRAT FROM ANY AND ALL OFFICES!

  16. I’m sorry , WHAT ?
    Does this IDIOT know that the majority of parents in the town of Uvalde do NOT let their children outside WITHOUT their ” armed supervision ” ?
    And why is that ? Because this , and most border towns are over run with ILLEGAL’S !!
    Crime is RAMPANT… Drugs are RAMPANT.. and it is because of ILLEGAL’S !!
    To suggest anything that would allow this to continue, UNCHECKED , is aiding and abetting crime.
    Here is a quote from an article regarding the recent assassination plot on Former Pres. Bush…. ” He was charged in federal court with attempting to illegally bring an individual into the United States, a federal crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison, and aiding and abetting the attempted murder of a former U.S. official, which carries a potential prison sentence of up to 20 years. ”

    Isn’t this what she is suggesting ? Isn’t this what the Biden administration is doing ?

    Wake up and Vote Our country depends on it.
    Had enough YET , America ?

    1. WE NEED A COMPETENT LEADER NOW! ONE THAT UPHOLDS OUR LAWS
      Where is the congress? They have to see the mess we are in, but I see very few of them acting.
