When asked a straightforward question about deportations, Tennessee Democrat congressional candidate Justin Pearson twisted himself into rhetorical knots rather than give a direct answer — perfectly exposing the radical left's complete opposition to enforcing immigration law.
During a recent interview, Pearson was asked point-blank to name even one category of illegal alien he would support deporting. His response? A verbal tightrope act that would make circus performers jealous.
Instead of answering the question, Pearson immediately pivoted to attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), claiming that no one in President Trump's administration could be "trusted" to handle deportations. Classic Democrat deflection — when you can't defend your position, attack the messenger.
The Party of Open Borders Revealed
Pearson's refusal to name even violent criminals or repeat offenders for deportation reveals everything Americans need to know about today's Democrat Party. They've moved so far left that they can't even support removing dangerous criminals from our communities.
This is the same radical mindset that gave us Biden's disastrous border policies for four years. While Trump is working to secure our borders and protect American families, Democrats like Pearson are still playing word games and protecting illegal aliens over law-abiding citizens.
"The American people deserve representatives who will put their safety first, not politicians who can't even admit that some people shouldn't be in our country illegally."
Pearson's anti-ICE rhetoric is particularly telling. These are the brave men and women working to remove dangerous criminals from our streets, yet Democrats treat them like the enemy. It's backwards priorities that put ideology over public safety.
Trump's Deportation Success
Meanwhile, President Trump's mass deportation program continues delivering results for the American people. While Democrats perform verbal gymnastics to avoid supporting law enforcement, Trump is actually solving the immigration crisis Biden created.
Tennessee voters deserve better than a candidate who can't give a straight answer about protecting their communities. When your position is so extreme you can't even name violent criminals for removal, maybe it's time to find a new position — preferably in the private sector.
