Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall. com: We know why the GOP has taken the reins on the immigration issue. It'll shock libs.

Tejanos in Texas, who dot the border counties and are hardcore MAGA, consider themselves white. Like with the current Democratic Party playbook on elections, Trump torched everything, and this issue is no exception. The Democrats’ penchant for mayhem, illegal immigration, and lawlessness has damaged them among these communities. If this continues, along with non-white and white working classes becoming more Republican, Democrats aren’t winning much in the foreseeable future.

Cheers, but even the big legacy networks can’t spin the polling.

Byron York, chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner: In LA riot standoff, Trump is right. Bass and Newsom are wrong.

The federal government's supremacy in such matters has long been established, but a relatively recent Supreme Court case that some might remember was Arizona v. United States. In that case, the state of Arizona — actually the Republican officials at the top of state government — said to then-President Barack Obama: You're not enforcing immigration law, so we will. And Obama said: No, you won't.

The case went to court. Obama argued that the federal government has the sole power to enforce immigration law, including the power not to enforce immigration law if the president so chooses. It's not your decision, Obama told Arizona officials. Obama won, and that was that.

Dave Marcus, columnist for Fox News Digital: Two ways Trump 2.0 quelled the would-be LA riots.

It is possible that as the sweet breezes of June turn to sultry July and August we could see America in the flames of protest like we did in 2020, but that possibility has become far less likely as the Trump administration cracks down.

Americans seem very unlikely to spend this summer marching in anger under Mexican and Palestinian flags, in fact, Trump deportations have widespread support, and now, the bad guys, those who burn and loot, know that there are consequences.

Donald Trump learned his lesson from the riots of 2020, and if the violent activists in their masks and hoods don’t learn theirs from his mobilization of the national guard in 2025, they will have only themselves to blame.

Sarah Arnold, Townhall.com: LA finally imposes curfew, days after anti-ICE riots began.

Despite repeated claims by Bass and other Democratic leaders that the anti-ICE protests have been “peaceful,” a curfew is now being imposed. Bass acknowledged that 23 businesses have been looted and widespread graffiti has caused significant property damage — yet she continues to describe the protests as non-violent.
