The folks at Portland city hall care very much about the ICE protests, because they are the sponsors. The enormous force behind illegal immigration comes from our largest corporations in the agriculture, hospitality, retail, construction, food processing, and other industries that require lots of low-skilled, non-unionized laborers who are trapped into silent servitude by their illegal status. These companies break federal law and wreak havoc on local communities while denying legitimate jobs to citizens who should rightly be offered them. We subsidize these corporate criminals by paying for illegal aliens' Medicaid premiums, crime prevention, and other costs inflicted upon us. Enabling all this are their partner criminals, mostly Democrats who prevent enforcement of both federal and local law in return for kickbacks. This is all plainly obvious but somehow we never seem to discuss the source of our immigration problem.

Finally, some reporting on the scene after avoidance by the local media. They are as uninterested as city government. To find coverage of the July 4th riot, one has to go to the Townhall website and Andy Ngo on X. If it’s news to Oregonians, it’s there, not on local TV or press. Thanks for this excellent account.
