Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington State wants American citizens to pay reparations to illegal aliens in the country over the supposed ‘trauma’ they have suffered because of ICE. She also wants everyone involved in the deportations to be ‘held accountable’ by which she means prosecuted and possibly jailed.
Has everyone on the political left lost their ever-loving minds?
Less than a decade ago, Obama’s sycophants in the media called him the ‘deporter in chief,’ a nickname that was supposed to signify how tough and practical he was. Democrats back then had no problems with ICE, deportations or our immigration laws because one of theirs was in charge.
Today, we get this madness.
Townhall reports:
Progressive Congresswoman and member of The Squad, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), called for “some form of reparation” to be paid to illegal immigrants for the alleged “trauma” inflicted by ICE agents during President Trump’s nationwide deportation campaign.
It remains astonishing that Democrats label funding the Department of Homeland Security and its agencies as a waste of taxpayer dollars, yet have no issue using public funds to provide reparations to individuals who broke the law by entering the country illegally.
“We need real accountability, because at the end of the day, the people that have been inflicting this harm need to be prosecuted,” Jayapal said. “They need to be brought before us, and they need to be held account for the trauma that they have created, and we are going to have to have some form of reparation.”

It’s not enough that Democrats already gave them taxpayer funded housing, health insurance, SNAP, education, and debit cards.

It is important to remember that so many moments like this from Jayapal and others in her party are merely performative. They have a constant need to show the Democrat base that they are even further to the left than the Democrat sitting next to them.
It is still damaging however, to the country and our politics because it sets a precedent. Now, everyone who comes after Jayapal will have to go even further, suggesting something even more outlandish in order to prove their true progressive values.
In the meantime, the best solution is ridicule, which is exactly what Jayapal deserves for even suggesting this incredibly stupid and insulting idea.
