Portland just learned what happens when you build policy on feelings instead of law.

Operation Oregon Support pulled 560 people off Portland streets in October 2025. Another 329 arrests across Oregon. Federal agents doing the job local politicians refused to do for years.

The media wants you to feel bad about this.

They won't show you who these 560 people are. They won't publish the criminal records. They frame enforcement as cruelty and illegal presence as victimhood.

That's the game. That's how the Cloward-Piven strategy works in real time.

The Numbers Portland Doesn't Want You Seeing

Illegal immigration costs American taxpayers $151 billion annually. That's $1,156 per taxpayer. Every year. Straight out of your pocket.

70% of ICE arrests target criminal illegal aliens with convictions or charges. The other 30%? They broke immigration law. That's still illegal.

Recent ICE operations removed individuals with 38 arrests, 15 convictions including sexual assault. Another had 40 criminal convictions including sexual battery.

These are the people living in American neighborhoods before enforcement began.

Santo Domingo Taqueria lost 50% of their customers after the arrests. Day laborer sites dropped from 45 workers to 10.

The market is correcting. Businesses built on serving illegal populations face natural consequences when laws get enforced.

Every Business Faces Challenges

Business owners need to adapt to changing markets. Santo Domingo needs to cater to legal customers or close. There are no guarantees in business.

Serving illegal aliens carries risk. You built your customer base on people who shouldn't be here. That's a business decision with consequences.

The comparison matters: Would you sympathize with a business losing clients because those clients got arrested for other crimes? The principle stays the same.

What Self-Deportation Looks Like

Cut off resources and illegal aliens leave on their own. Fewer cars on roads. Smaller lines at DMV. More groceries on shelves. Less strain on government assistance programs.

The day laborer numbers prove it works. 45 workers down to 10. That's self-deportation in action.

Portland will struggle through the next six months if enforcement continues. Good. Maybe voters will learn that elections have consequences.

They voted for sanctuary policies. Now they live with federal response.

The Voter Accountability Moment

People vote differently when consequences hit their personal lives. Portland voters supported sanctuary policies when it felt good. Now their pocketbooks and daily lives face the impact.

This is how change happens. Suffering creates growth. Discomfort forces new directions.

Portland already fell. The state got captured. We're living on borrowed time here. But the lesson applies everywhere.

Vote for policies that ignore federal law. Get federal enforcement that ignores your feelings.

What's Actually At Stake

Without aggressive immigration enforcement right now, America heads toward poverty for most with an elite class running everything. Government food lines. Suspended rights. A culture that abandons founding principles.

Operation Oregon Support represents a line in the sand. Hold it or lose the country.

The 560 arrests in Portland matter because they prove enforcement works. They show what happens when federal law overrides local virtue signaling.

Every illegal alien here needs deportation regardless of circumstance.

Our country will go through growing pains. Businesses will close. Markets will shift. People will complain.

That's the price of restoring the rule of law.

The Media's Role in This Mess

The captured media uses fear as a weapon. They paint legal extraction of illegal aliens as tragedy. They hide criminal records while highlighting business losses.

This is information warfare designed to make you question enforcement. To make you feel guilty for wanting laws followed.

The reality inverts when media controls the narrative. Criminals become victims. Law enforcement becomes oppression. Illegal presence becomes a right.

Portland's "layer of fog over the community" quote? That's what accountability feels like when you've lived without it for years.

The Path Forward

Portland voters can change direction. They can elect leaders who respect federal law. They can stop treating illegal presence as acceptable.

Or they can keep voting for sanctuary policies and face more federal operations.

The choice belongs to them. The consequences belong to them too.

Operation Oregon Support won't be the last enforcement action. It's the beginning of what happens when federal government decides local jurisdictions can't ignore immigration law anymore.

560 arrests in one month. That's what serious enforcement looks like.

The question for every American city: Do you want to learn this lesson the easy way or the hard way?

Portland chose the hard way. The rest of the country is watching.
