I'm Done Watching MAGA Blame Immigrants While America Burns [View all]

Last week, we witnessed the horrific shooting of two National Guardsmen in DC. And right on cue, the MAGA movement seized it as another excuse to attack immigrants because the shooter was an asylum seeker—because that’s what they do.

Every problem in America, no matter what it is, they find a way to blame immigrants. It’s their go-to scapegoat—a stale, fear-driven lie Donald Trump and Stephen Miller weaponize to shove their agenda ahead. Because at the core of all this isn’t immigration—it’s violence, it’s cowardice, and it’s a political movement terrified of telling the damn truth about either. And I’m sick of it.

Every time they point the finger at immigrants, they’re distracting from the real causes of violence—and letting the actual problems rot. That’s the part that makes me furious. We can’t fix what we refuse to name.

This country has a gun violence crisis. A mental health crisis. A crisis of disaffected men, spiraling without help, turning violent. An economy that’s spiraling down. And we don’t have nearly enough people—Democrats or Republicans—willing to say that out loud, let alone do something about it.
