When asked point-blank who he would deport if elected to Congress, Tennessee Democrat Justin Pearson delivered a masterclass in political cowardice that perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with the radical left's approach to immigration.
The congressional candidate couldn't—or wouldn't—name a single illegal alien he would support removing from American soil. Instead, Pearson launched into a predictable tirade against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the very agency tasked with protecting Americans from criminal aliens.
According to reports, Pearson began his verbal acrobatics by claiming that no one in President Trump's administration could be "trusted" to handle immigration enforcement. This is rich coming from a party that spent four years under Biden turning our southern border into a superhighway for human trafficking, drug cartels, and known terrorists.
The Left's Immigration Delusion Exposed
Pearson's refusal to answer this basic question reveals the Democrats' true agenda: they don't want to deport anyone. Period. While hardworking Americans struggle with increased crime, strained resources, and communities overrun by illegal immigration, Democrats like Pearson want to tie the hands of law enforcement.
"This is what open borders looks like in practice—politicians who can't even admit that some people shouldn't be here illegally."
Meanwhile, President Trump's administration has been delivering on its promise of mass deportations, removing criminal aliens and restoring order to our immigration system. The contrast couldn't be clearer: Trump puts America First, while Democrats put illegal aliens first.
This verbal gymnastics routine from Pearson isn't just political theater—it's a window into the radical left's complete rejection of immigration enforcement. They've moved so far left that even admitting some deportations might be necessary is apparently too much to ask.
Tennessee voters deserve better than a candidate who can't give a straight answer about protecting American communities. When politicians won't even name one category of illegal aliens they'd remove, they're telling you everything you need to know about whose side they're really on.
