Jimmy Kimmel is an arrogant, hard-nosed
liberal. He has turned his late-night comedy show into a social justice warrior
anti-Trump hate-fest. He worked overtime to take down Judge Roy Moore during
his general election bid for Alabama's open US Senate seat.

It was really shameful how he behaved. Not
only that, but for the last six months, he has sought to shame Republicans and
conservatives in general for repealing Obamacare. He brought his own children
into the mix in a brazen attempt to shame elected officials and bait the
public.

ABC Casting had reached out to me during
Election 2016 and then another time. They were hoping to get me and other Trump
supporters in Los Angeles County to speak out in support for President Trump
and his agenda.

I am glad that I was not on his show two
years ago. I have no idea how he would have reacted then, especially because he
like many of the arrogant, Hollywood liberal glitterati, were convinced that
Trump didn't stand a chance of winning the election.

We all know how that turned out. Someone
needs to remind me if Kimmel pledged to move to Canada when Trump became
President …

Anyway, the casting director invited us to
Kimmel's theater because we were opponents to DACA, the Deferred Action of
Childhood Arrivals progrram imposed on this country by Barack Obama, which was
unconstitutional at the outset.

All six of us know where we stand on
illegal immigration, and we intended to make it clear to Kimmel and his
prospective audience that we are about American citizens and the needs of
our countrymen. We want to put Americans First, and we want to ensure that the
whole country understands where we stand on the enforcement of our borders and
the integrity of our nation’s sovereignty.

I wore a t-shirt with a picture of Ruben
Morfin, the 13-year old American boy killed by an illegal alien. I also proudly
wore my Make California Great Again cap.

The six of us walked into this event,
prepared for anything.

The other five participants with me were:

We have debated and discussed this issue
from every angle, and we were prepared to the every end to defend the United
States, both its people and its culture, as well as the rule of law.

The security detail outside of the theater
informed all of us to go to the back of the building. We arrived and we signed
in, then we went through a long corridor in the back.

It's quite clear to anyone paying
attention where Kimmel's alliances lie. He just loves Obama, everything about
him, enough that he cherishes this photo above all the others.

All of us knew what we were stepping into. We know the abject
liberalism of Kimmel, and the photo above proved it all.

The staff were kind to us, and they made us feel at home. They
interviewed each of us separately in an editing room so that we would feel
comfortable. They also asked our opinion about the different Presidential
candidates who had run against Trump in 2016.

Then the casting director called each of us to go outside, and we
sat on the steps in front of Kimmel's theater. I recorded a few moments right
before I had the interview:

My friends and I then went into "The Green Room" for a little break
until all six of us had been interviewed by Kimmel on the steps.
We all started talking with one another, and we were convinced
that Kimmel was going to have a young DACA recipient. He was going to try and
shame us for our views on enforcing immigration laws.

And we were right!
A young lady name Esmeralda came to one of the couches, and she
was holding a young child. Before Kimmel began speaking, I showed Esmeralda the
picture of Young Ruben Morfin on my shirt:

Kimmel basically tried to shame us, making it seem like we were a
bunch of heartless bigots.

But he made a huge mistake. We were all well-educated on the games
that the media try to play on conservatives. For me, I did not even believe
that this "Esmeralda" lady was actually a DACA recipient.

One of the first things I mentioned was that we need to put the
needs of American children first, not illegals. I pointed out that the
Republicans have funded the CHIP program for another six years, despite the
Democrats’ attempts to shut down the government and prevent the funding from
going forward. I knew that was going to set off Kimmel, since he had demagogued
the issue for the last month, claiming that Republicans were determined to cut
funding for children’s health programs.

HA HA!
Esmeralda was presented to us as someone who had been brought into
this country at two years old by her parents, who had entered illegally. The
little child in her arms would move around and show her arms, too. We learned
that she has committed no (other) crimes. She pays taxes. She is also studying
to be a nurse. Of course we knew that Kimmel would go to great lengths to
provide the best type of "DACA" recipient.

He refused to acknowledge that up to 50% of DACA recipients are
fraudulent. He also didn't want to hear that more illegals are committing
crimes that native-born residents.

Kimmel wanted us to justify our determination for our nation's
immigration laws to be enforced. Wes Parker slammed Kimmel for trying to put
our compassion on trial. This country has been good to illegals, especially
considering that Mexico furnishes the national guard along their country's
southern border–and they shoot at anyone who tries to enter the country from
Central America.

Chanell Temple provided us a picture of her five-year old
daughter, who passed away because she could not get adequate health coverage,
yet illegals have access of all kinds to taxpayer subsidized health insurance,
food stamps, housing vouchers, etc. Where is the justice for black communities
ravaged by illegal immigration?

Chanell Temple was unstoppable. She referenced the civil rights
issues, the plight of black communities, and the need for safety for American
citizens.

Celeste Grieg is an immigrant herself, born in Barcelona, Spain.
It took her six months to achieve legal residency. She became a fully
naturalized citizen five years later. It took her five years. Why should
illegal aliens be permitted to jump ahead of all the law-abiding legal
residents?

Robin Hvidston insisted on ensuring that Americans in need were
placed first in terms of priority for all Americans. She provided a calm,
poised set of facts, and refused to be bullied on her point of view.

I added that American dreamers like Ruben would never have their
dreams come true. A few times, Kimmel told me to shut up, though, when I was
offering some reasons why it's fully within the citizens' rights in this
country to put the needs of Americans first and fully enforce our immigration
laws.

Then Kimmel brought in Esmeralda's fiancé. He introduced himself
as an American working for the Kansas Correctional System. He is a citizen who
also serves in this country's military. The two adults facing us went to great
lengths to present themselves as conservatives, as hearty down-to-earth people.
It really seemed like an act at the point.

corner. He would learn very quickly that we could–and would–turn the tables

At one point, Kimmel mocked me, saying "I don't think you
have any friends." He then asked if I had had a lobotomy. It was pretty
obvious he was doing everything he could to make me angry. Instead of getting
upset, I laughed at him and called out his intolerance. He really didn't want
me to speak because I was knowledgeable on the issues. I talked about how
illegal aliens are committing twice the rate of crimes compared to American
citizens. When I cited an article published in the Washington Times, he
dismissed it as "fake news." Laurie countered back with "The New
York Times if fake news."

"Set of facts." No matter what he tried to do, I refused to let him
bully me or silence me.

Wes Parker made a great statement in the midst of the focus group
discussion: "The rule of law is the most compassionate form of
government." Mexico is falling into a violent, failed state precisely
because the corrupt federal and state governments.

Chanell talked at great length about the terrible crimes which
black Americans have endured because of illegal immigration. Her children were
forced to move out of state because they could not find work. Chanell
herself lost her job because she could not speak Spanish. Why does she have to
speak a foreign language in her own country to find work? This is ridiculous.

Kimmel would eventually try one more time to shut me down–and I
do admit I had to give my fellow panelists time to speak. When Laurie talked
about the need to put Americans first, including our homeless veterans and
foster children, Kimmel started talking over her at length. I called him out on
that: "What is it, Jimmy? Why won't you let her speak? Is it because of
the color of her skin, that she is a Latina for Trump?"

Immediately, Kimmel yelled at me: "Shut up, you

I laughed out loud—Kimmel was TRIGGERED!
At the end of the forum, all of us got up and left. I felt no ill
will toward Kimmel or the crew. In fact, John the production director gave me a
high-five and said: "You guys did great! You held your ground!"

For whom?
And here's a great photo for posterity:

Final Reflection
Just like President Trump, his supporters
in California are prepared to take on the left-wing media and entertainment
industries with grace and aplomb. We know that we need to get the message out,
and especially in blue areas as well as blue states.

Kimmel thought that he would have us all
lined up like sitting decks when he presented us with a sympathy case of a DACA
recipient, her daughter, and her husband to be. A number of times, we urged the
man to marry Esmeralda right on the spot. That arrangement would place her on a
legal pathway to citizenship. My father is ordained to administer weddings, and
I even offered to call him to officiate!

the money for them to have a wonderful wedding, too. At one point, I urged
Kimmel to adopt the child if he was so worried about the little girl being
separate from her mother or having to go back to live in Mexico.

At another point, when Kimmel was mocking
me about dangerous conditions, I announced to everyone who Hollywood has been
frequently defending rapists and pedophiles, along with the whole #MeToo
allegations. Everyone was shocked when I called the industry out on all of
that!

All in all, the focus group with Kimmel
and the "DACA recipient" was a big win for us, regardless of whatever
the editors put together for tonight's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live.
