Insty links to an idiotic tweet by no-borders-for-you libertarian Nick Gillespie, who seems to have expected that MAGA would repent of its sinful ICE-worship upon seeing a sympathetic Irish, white illegal. To no one’s surprise except perhaps Gillespie’s, only the usual suspects answered the call.

Perhaps because it was quickly pointed out that Our Not-So-Diverse Hero overstayed a tourist visa for over fifteen years before marrying a citizen in 2025 in an attempt to dodge deportation. Gillespie also fails to mention that he’s only being held in detention because he refused cash and a free trip back to Ireland. Also, how was Our Upright Immigrant making money without valid ID all those years?

(from the Cherish The Ladies album of the same name; I like the song, but the message falls apart when you actually think about the lyrics…)

(side note: Cherish The Ladies ended up suing their record label for unpaid royalties…)
