Go peacefully, or expect ICE to get you! On Monday, September 22. 2025 Red State ran this headline, “Illegal Aliens Self-Deporting Is a Good Thing, No Matter How Long They’ve Been Here.”
This seems obvious to anyone who has enough brains to pound sand. But now we see a hand-wringing story from the UK Independent about a Chilean couple in the United States who have decided to self-deport, because they are in the US illegally. No, they aren’t “undocumented.” They are here illegally. And they have been here illegally for 36 years.
In the late 1980s, after the US-backed Pinochet regime had destabilized their country, José* and Claudia* moved from Chile to California with their two young daughters. Alejandra*, the oldest, was five years old; Ines* was still an infant, about to turn one.
Their mother still has her old Chilean passport with the three-person photo they took for the journey, Alejandra and Ines grinning together in their mother’s arms. Back then, minors routinely traveled on their mother’s passport.
At this point, the picture becomes fuzzy. It’s unclear how this couple (their names are changed in the story) came into the United States, but the linked article refers to them throughout the piece as “undocumented,” which, of course, means they are illegal aliens.
Alejandra and Ines are long grown now, both in their mid-30s. José and Claudia are both 65 years old. And instead of doing what they always imagined they’d be doing — celebrating their naturalization, retiring comfortably after working and paying taxes diligently, getting to know their daughters’ new families — they are planning a very different life.
They are packing up almost 40 years’ worth of belongings, keeping an eye on the neighborhood apps that let them know when ICE is in the area, and holding clandestine meetings with an immigration lawyer about how to self-deport safely.
“This shouldn’t be a hard decision for these illegals to self deport. It’s simple, pack your bags, and don’t forget your children, and get out of America the same way you crossed in illegally.” commented Thomas Robb, National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan, based centrally in Harrison, Arkansas. “Say a black man rapes a White woman, and it was before they could trace criminals by using DNA. And suppose it goes 30 years and he rapes again, but now law enforcement now knows how to use DNA, so they catch him, and then they are able to link him to the rape of the woman 30 years ago. Is the black rapest forgiven for the first rape just because it took 30 years to catch him? Of course not! That would be foolish and I don’t think that any Americans would argue that fact, but yet when we’re talking about illegal aliens, we’re supposed to just let them stay because they have been here for 30 years? Crossing our borders illegally is just as illegal as rape. Illegal is illegal..period. And when caught doing something illegal, the criminal needs to pay the price for their actions.”
