From Fox News: The architect of some of DHS’ most consequential immigration enforcement operations fired back at Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., after Swalwell posted a Christmas image depicting a helicopter and ICE agents converging on the Bethlehem crèche.
“May this be the last Christmas we live this nightmare,” Swalwell captioned the image, which drew widespread backlash during the Twelve Days of Christmas.
“Yes, the last Christmas where un-American pedantic dolts choose illegal aliens over US Citizens,” U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino responded, before following up by exchanging with others on social media.

X user Brittany Rae responded, “Yes the nightmare was last four years prior letting in everyone and their grandma. Insane congressman would post this🤯.”
“Well said!!! Following. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄!!!” Bovino replied.

Another X user reminded everyone of Swalwell’s prior relationship with a Chinese spy.
Oh yes!! How could I forget to mention that.

Author Sarah Adams also blasted Swalwell, writing, “Since your party let in over 14 million illegals including 18,000 Islamist terrorists this is easily a 30 year job, buckle up buttercup!”

Conservative filmmaker Robby Starbuck fired back at Swalwell with a history lesson. He wrote:
Eric — Mary and Joseph were legal immigrants complying with the rules of the Roman Empire. Rome ordered a census and Joseph had to be counted because Bethlehem was his city. Basically the opposite of illegal immigration. Lying about this is Christophobic.
Also, God created borders. In Acts 17:26, God says he “marked out” nations and the “boundaries of their lands” while in Deuteronomy 32:8 he is said to “set the boundaries of the peoples.”
The Bible even praises walls:
“A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.” – Proverbs 25:28
Walls and borders mean order, protection and responsibility for your nation + its people.
What you should worry about is that your open borders party let in close to 15 million illegals in 4 years. This allowed historic levels of child trafficking and rape in the process. Oh and massive waves of drugs that killed our citizens. I think that upsets God in a way that you should truly fear.
Now stop inventing a fantasyland where your deranged beliefs are somehow biblical. You support literal butchery of children with sex changes so don’t you dare use our Christian faith to pretend you have some moral high ground. You are a viper of the worst kind. Merry Christmas.

Others are flipping the script on Swalwell, mockingly noting that it will be impossible to get all the illegal aliens deported before next Christmas.
You think we can get 15 million illegal aliens out of America 🇺🇸 by next Christmas? I believe we are going to have three more years of this mess thanks to the treasonous open border policy of the last administration.

I wish that too, Eric, but I fear we won’t be able to deport all the illegal aliens by next Christmas …

I know!
If all the illegals are deported by next Christmas life will be far easier for Americans.

Yes hopefully all of the illegal immigrants will be gone by next Christmas😅
