The mainstream media has once again pulled out its emotional playbook to manipulate the public, this time using a so-called “humanitarian crisis” to push its agenda. But don’t be fooled. What the media is trying to sell you as a tragic story is actually a carefully crafted emotional scam designed to stir up guilt, outrage, and ultimately shift the blame away from those who break the law and onto the system enforcing it.

The latest emotional story being paraded across your screens features Tequia Namas, a woman grieving her husband’s deportation at the hands of ICE. The story, shared across multiple outlets, paints a picture of a family torn apart and a tragic injustice being done. It’s a classic example of media manipulation—tugging at your heartstrings and turning the public against immigration enforcement. But as always, there’s more to the story than meets the eye.

Let’s break down the facts, not the feelings.

The Untold Facts Behind the Story

Yes, Tequia Namas’s husband was deported by ICE. Yes, he was living in the United States illegally. But here’s the catch: He had been in the country for over 20 years. That’s right—20 years, and not once did he make an effort to fix his immigration status. Despite being married to a U.S. citizen, he chose to live off the grid, ignoring every legal avenue available to him.

But the media doesn’t want to tell you that. Instead, they’ve paraded Tequia in front of the cameras to make you feel guilty for expecting the law to be enforced. They show her tears, her emotional pleas, and her frustration. What they don’t show you is the bigger picture—the fact that her husband was living in the U.S. illegally for two decades and had no intention of rectifying that.

Emotional Manipulation: The Media’s Favorite Tool

What we’re witnessing is textbook emotional manipulation. The media is making you feel bad for wanting secure borders and enforcing the law. But when you look at the facts, it’s clear that there is no victim here. Her husband wasn’t some innocent person who was caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was a man who broke the law for 20 years, ignored every opportunity to fix his status, and now, when the consequences finally catch up to him, he’s the victim.

It’s not just the deportation story. This is part of a broader playbook that the media and certain political groups use to push their agenda. Take someone who’s ignored the law, dramatize the consequences, and then shift the blame from the perpetrator to the system. Suddenly, the people enforcing the law—the ones asking for accountability—are the bad guys, and the criminal is turned into a sympathetic figure.

Why This Narrative Doesn’t Hold Up

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about compassion. It’s about corruption of truth. If this is the best example they can find to criticize immigration enforcement, then their whole argument is falling apart. This man wasn’t a victim of an unjust system—he was an adult who chose to break the law repeatedly, without consequence, for 20 years. Now that the law has finally caught up to him, suddenly, the system is the villain?

Here’s the real tragedy: for 20 years, this man lived outside the law, putting the rest of us at risk. He was driving without a license, without insurance, without any legal right to be on the road. He was working illegally, paying no taxes, and getting paid under the table. Meanwhile, the rest of us are following the rules. We get licenses, pay taxes, and obey the law. But now, because this man was caught breaking the law, we’re supposed to feel bad for him? That’s not a tragedy. That’s justice.

The Real Victims: You and Me

Now, let’s talk about the real victims in this situation: all of us who follow the law. The families who are driving on the road, obeying traffic laws, paying taxes, and trying to live by the rules. Imagine you’re driving with your kids in the car, and someone like Tequia’s husband—someone who has no license, no insurance, and no understanding of the laws—hits you.

If you’re lucky, it’s just an accident. But what if it’s worse? What if you or your children are injured or worse? Is this the price we pay for ignoring the law? And yet, the media wants us to focus on the emotional story of one individual, instead of the broader picture—how these actions put the safety and well-being of everyone else at risk.

The Left’s Game: Redefining Right and Wrong

This is the game the left is playing. They want to redefine right and wrong, to make lawbreaking seem heroic and to paint those who enforce the law as villains. They want to make you feel guilty for demanding a secure country, for expecting the rule of law to be followed.

This isn’t about compassion; it’s about political power. It’s about importing a voting block, about manipulating public sentiment with carefully crafted stories that bypass logic and hijack your empathy. They want you to feel bad for people who break the law, while ignoring the real victims—the taxpayers, the law-abiding citizens, the families who just want to be safe.

The Solution: Enforce the Law

So, what’s the solution? It’s simple: enforce the law. There is no need for new laws. We already have a system in place. What we need is for that system to be followed. We don’t need to hand out amnesty to people who break the law, dodge taxes, and endanger the public. We don’t need to reward lawbreakers. We need to protect those who are doing things the right way, the immigrants who followed the proper procedures, who worked hard to gain citizenship legally.

This isn’t about bigotry or racism. This is about maintaining the integrity of our system. It’s about ensuring that our country is secure, that our laws are followed, and that people who break those laws are held accountable.

Conclusion: Enough Is Enough

It’s time to stop pretending that this is complex. It’s not. If you’re in this country illegally, leave. Apply properly. Follow the process. That’s how a lawful society works. And the next time the media tries to sell you a story about a so-called “victim” of immigration enforcement, ask yourself: Who’s the real victim here? The person who broke the law for 20 years and is now facing the consequences, or the rest of us who are just trying to follow the rules?

Enough is enough. It’s time for the media to stop manipulating our emotions and for us to start demanding accountability for those who break the law.
