Illegal Alien Agrees with ICE

Ted, a recently deported British citizen who grew up in the United States, went viral for his Friday interview with The Telegraph.

In the interview, Ted (not his real name) maintains that he deserved to be deported.

Now that he's back in his homeland, he says he is going to work to legally come back to America, because his homeland is a disaster.

And he says he hopes America can learn from the British leadership's failure to enforce immigration laws.

It's an interesting story that has gone viral.

Be informed, not misled.

“Unlawful presence after learning that I was unlawfully present, right? I’m not making excuses. I should have been deported,” Ted said, speaking of his arrest. “There is an illegal immigration crisis in America, and any president that wants a lawfully ordered nation has the right and the duty and the obligation to enforce deportation.”

Ted’s remarks quickly garnered attention online, with right-wing commentators generally praising his integrity. The Telegraph posted a brief clip of its discussion with Ted to X with the caption: “Immigrants sent to the UK by the US say they lack support to survive in a strange land.” 

And Ted said, "Britain is a dump" because they do not enforce their immigration laws.

Ted also thinks the news media misrepresented him and said he “wasn’t terrifically satisfied with the way that The Telegraph tweeted [his] portion of their segment.” 

“The title they used for the tweet was, or the caption they used for the tweet was something like, ‘People deported from the U.S. to the U.K. are unhappy with the benefits they’re receiving,’ and that’s never been my position. I haven’t taken taxpayer money. I’m not asking for Keir Starmer to help me resettle. So I don’t understand why they use the caption for the entire piece where there were other people who were maybe more in line with that, and then applied it to just my segment, but for the people who actually watched, I think they were sort of pleasantly surprised by the fact that I was taking ownership of being responsible for my own deportation,” Ted said. 

Other major misconceptions by the news media.

“Major misconceptions … That I’m like a Trump loyalist, MAGA cultist, staunch Republican, and that does not encapsulate the nuance of my political positions at all.”

“I would also say, because I was included in that, in that piece with the other two, that the misconception was I was dissatisfied with the amount of stuff I’m getting, or that I think I’m entitled to more, and then also because they included the clip from my TikTok that my most viral Tiktok of last year, referring to the U.K. in rather offensive manners.”

A personal reality check

The Telegraph quoted Ted as saying, in that viral video, “Now I’m in the United Kingdom, and this country sucks and has made me more America First, because you see that outside of London, all of England is a Third World country, a dump. I hate it here, and I’m excited and ready to go back to the United States."

You might recall that President Trump has been telling the ICE-hating Left that if we don't protect our borders and enforce our immigration laws, we will have no country.

He's not overstating the problem.

"Ted" has discovered that fact firsthand. England's infrastructure is failing as a result of essentially open borders. And a Muslim mayor who opposes Western civilization.

Ted continued: “It seems the impression that’s given from what The Telegraph put out is, ‘Here is a guy who hates the place he is and is un-self-aware of the fact that he is a criminal who is privileged, who is honored to be in the U.K.,’ and that’s not what I think at all.” 

“I was discussing the circumstances of my deportation and my political opinions, sort of taking the position that as someone who is deported, in the midst of all that was going on with the [Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)] protests and all that, I wanted to say something like, ‘Hey, I was deported, and I think it was justified.’ I’m not here saying, ‘I hate Trump. I hate ICE.’ I did reside unlawfully in the United States for a period of time, which warranted my deportation.” 

Ted continued, describing his reaction to the Minnesota anti-ICE riots that dominated headlines for weeks.

“You saw these leftist agitators who were impeding law enforcement. They were obstructing the enforcement of the law in attempts to detain and deport illegal immigrants, especially criminal illegal immigrants,” Ted said. “He [President Trump] should have brought in the National Guard. He should have doubled down.”

Takeaway

“The demographics of England are a lot different from what I was expecting,” Ted said. “As soon as I stepped off the train…it appeared that the minorities were a majority, and the ethnic English were a minority.”

America stands on the threshold of becoming what Ted saw when he "stepped off the train."

Immigration without assimilation produces exactly what Ted saw. The colonization of his birth country.

And it can happen here if the Left regains power.

Consider this:

• "Immigration without assimilation is an invasion." — Bobby Jindal (former Governor of Louisiana)
• "We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding house." — Theodore Roosevelt (1913)
• "Open borders and a welfare state are a recipe for disaster. You can't really open the border and say, 'I'm gonna give my money to anybody who wants to come in'." — Howard Lutnick (CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald)

The Bible says in Acts 17:26, "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation." 

Context: In this passage (Acts 17:24-27), Paul is preaching in Athens, stating that God created everything, made all nations from one blood, and appointed their times and the geographical boundaries of their homes.

Meaning: "Bounds of their habitation" refers to God determining the territorial limits within which different nations or peoples would live.
