Bad Bad Bunny

In his acceptance speech after winning one of his Grammy’s last Sunday, Puerto Rican rap star and Super Bowl halftime headliner, Bad Bunny said, “f**k ICE.” A complete and total rejection of everything that ICE is doing in our country. 71% of the illegal aliens that ICE has detained and deported since the start of Trump’s second term were violent criminals with records – rapists, murderers, gang members, human traffickers, and cartel members. By saying, “f**k ICE”, Bad Bunny is saying that he wants rapists, murderers, human traffickers and drug cartel members roaming the streets of American cities, committing acts of violence against innocent Americans. 

In one year, ICE has secured our borders better than any time in the last 50 years. Under Joe Biden’s open border policy, 40,000 more Americans died each year of drug overdoses from the record amount of drugs that poured across our open borders and freely flowed into our communities. ICE shutting down the border has dramatically reduced drug overdose deaths in America cities in one year. So, when Bad Bunny says, “f**k ICE”, he is saying he wants 40,000 more American kids dying of fentanyl. 

Under Joe Biden’s open border policy, 320,000 young illegal immigrant kids went missing, 31% of the millions of young girls and women who were trafficked into America by coyotes, were raped along the way, over 100,000 were sex trafficked into the interior of the United States. ICE’s efforts this past year has put an end to all that. So, when Bad Bunny says, “f**k ICE”, he is saying that he wants hundreds of thousands of young kids to go missing; he wants hundreds of thousands of young girls and women raped and sex trafficked. That’s what his brave political statement that was roundly applauded in a room full of pedophiles said.

When Bad Bunny finished his Super Bowl halftime performance, he held up an NFL football that read, “Together, we are America.” I don’t know what that means. Who are the “we” that he is referring to? Is he referring to all American citizens? Is he referring to all American citizens and all of the illegal immigrants who are currently here? Is he referring to all the American citizens and the Muslims who came here under false pretenses, who were trying to destroy our constitutional system and implement Sharia Law? Is he referring to all American citizens and the criminal aliens who came here, and rape and murder people at an astonishing rate? Is it referring to all American citizens, and MS-13 gang members? Is he referring to all American citizens and the drug cartel members who were bringing tons of fentanyl into our country which is killing tens of thousands of American every year? Is he referring to all American citizens and the Somalis who defrauded our government of $9 billion, and sent billions back to Somalia to fund the Islamic terrorist organization, Al-Shabaab? Am I supposed to be together with all those people? Am I supposed to hold hands with those evil people and sing Kumbaya? Is this a joke?

Who exactly is this “we” that he’s referring to? Because I don’t want to be together with rapists and murderers. I don’t want to be together with MS-13 gang members. I don’t want to be together with drug smugglers and fentanyl peddlers. I don’t want to be together with Muslims who want to impose a Sharia law on our country so they can rape and subjugate women. I don’t want to be together with Islamic terrorists. I want to be together with the American citizens who came here legally, who were properly vetted, who took the proper legal steps to become United States citizens, who love our country, who embrace our culture, who love our Constitution, who just want an opportunity to live a better life and coexist with all the other American citizens. I’m all together with those people. I’m not together with the other people. And all those other people, the criminal aliens, the rapist and the murderers, the MS-13 gang members, the cartel members, are the ones that ICE is desperately trying to remove from this country, and it appears that those are the people Bad Bunny supports and is asking us to embrace.

Loving our fellow man is a beautiful ideal. But loving our fellow man does not mean allowing evil people into our country and into our communities, and turn a blind eye as they steal and rape and kill and plot to destroy our culture, our country, and our citizenry. That is the opposite of love because when we love evil people, we hate good people, because evil people by definition hate and destroy the good. And that has been the very message that Bad Bunny has sent the world the last two Sundays, ‘love the evil and hate the good.’
