KOENIG: It’s Time for Mass Deportations in Louisiana

For years, Louisiana residents and politicians have complained about the Biden administration’s poor handling of the illegal immigration crisis. After four years under Joe Biden, mass immigration from third world countries has completely transformed much of the US for the worse.

For decades, border states—such as California, Arizona, and Texas—received the brunt of the rampant crime and drugs flowing from the US-Mexico border. However, no state is safe from the ills of mass immigration from the third world. Non-border states are now suffering the consequences from years of lax border enforcement, with Louisiana now being one of the latest victims.

According to the nonpartisan think tank Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), there were an estimated 105,00 illegal aliens in Louisiana during the summer of 2023. This number is certainly far higher after another year-and-a-half of “open borders” under the Biden administration. But then again, no one truly knows how many illegals are in Louisiana.

In recent years, Louisiana citizens have unfortunately witnessed several high-profile criminal acts by illegal aliens in the region. Last February, an illegal alien from Honduras raped a fourteen year-old girl at knifepoint in Kenner. Over the summer, another violent illegal alien from Honduras was arrested for murdering a French Quarter tour guide. Then just weeks later in Lafourche Parish, a reportedly drunk illegal alien killed two Louisiana citizens in a fatal car wreck.

Just last weekend, an illegal alien in Thibodaux allegedly assaulted a Nicholls State student in an unprovoked hammer attack. Then last month, local authorities arrested an illegal alien in Jefferson Parish for raping a local female resident.

Here is an official description from Nicholls State University  about the recent hammer attack by an illegal alien:

On Friday, February 7, 2025, a Nicholls student was a victim of what appears to be a random attack by an individual working on a non-university job site adjacent to our campus. The unprovoked attack with a hammer occurred near St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church. The assailant was apprehended quickly thanks to the  actions of both University Police and the staff of St. Thomas Aquinas, neutralizing any threat to the larger campus community. The student was treated at a local medical facility and released.

“Our focus at this time is on the well-being of our student in this incident. We would like to thank the quick action of the Nicholls State University Police and all the local agencies that have assisted with this investigation,” said Nicholls President Jay Clune.

Clearly, illegal alien crime is becoming a major issue in Louisiana. However, you won’t find local media outlets covering the rash of illegal alien crime here. In fact, local hack “journalists” have done the opposite and actively defended illegal aliens in Louisiana. It’s easier to find articles from national media outlets covering illegal alien crime in Louisiana.

For example, local “journalist” Andres Fuentes of Fox 8 New Orleans has made disturbing posts in the past condoning illegal immigration and even complaining about the term “illegal alien.”

At the same time, supposed local “journalists” like Fuentes and others blatantly refuse to cover stories that do not fit their radical political agenda. In fact, The Advocate, Fox 8, and others local outlets still have not posted articles about the alleged illegal alien hammer attack at Nicholls State that occurred last weekend.

Think of that. Local media outlets are so corrupt that they will not cover a story about an illegal alien who was charged with 2nd degree attempted murder. Even a national outlet like Fox News has even covered this important news story.

For years, Louisiana citizens have suffered from the many negative effects of illegal immigration, and our local media class is complicit in this lawlessness in their lackluster coverage of this pressing issue.

Now, there has been plenty of rhetoric from Louisiana’s nominally conservative politicians criticizing illegal immigration in Louisiana. Governor Jeff Landry and other Republican politicians have sounded off on social media about the issue.

At the end of the day, actions matter more than words. Social media posts have not stopped illegal aliens from raping and assaulting Louisiana citizens.

We’re already in mid-February, and I can’t help but wonder where have the mass deportations been in Louisiana? Republicans control all branches of the federal government and the Louisiana state government. Yet, I have not seen or heard about an ICE raid or deportations of the 100k+ illegal aliens in Louisiana.

Fundamentally, the people of Louisiana want mass deportations. Nearly all available public polling shows that vast majority of Americans support the American government to deport the tens of millions of illegal aliens residing America. But unfortunately, there is still a lack of political will to to carry out this popular policy.

The sad reality is that Big Business and the “Louisiana Last” media outlets do not want the illegal immigration gravy train to end anytime soon. So, I would be shocked to see Louisiana and America’s political class going against the grain of entrenched interest of our media and business elites.

Louisiana’s golden age will remain on hold until we put a stop to the mass immigration crippling our state. It’s time for mass deportations of illegal aliens from Louisiana.
