A string of resurfaced video clips that would have been buried in the old media’s memory lane is now going viral after conservative commentators shared them widely, and Dave Rubin helped push the conversation by highlighting the clips in his Direct Message segment. The footage makes a simple, uncomfortable point for Democrats: the party that now rails against border enforcement and deportations once publicly touted tough immigration measures.
One of the most telling clips reminds viewers that President Obama’s administration presided over record deportations and was frequently labeled the “deporter‑in‑chief,” a fact the left refuses to square with its present-day outrage. Those historical numbers and admissions show that enforcement was once accepted as necessary across the political spectrum, not the sacrilegious act the modern left paints it as.
Mainstream outlets are even running flashbacks of top Democrats — not Republicans — praising the need to deport illegal immigrants and promising tough action when it suited their political moment. The selective memory from Democratic leaders and their media allies is a glaring hypocrisy: policies they cheered when convenient are denounced when political winds change.
The clips of Nancy Pelosi are almost comic in their candor, with Pelosi once blurting out that Democrats were pursuing “the full Obama agenda,” betraying the reality that party elites were always chasing power and policy behind the scenes. That kind of slip should alarm anyone who still believes in transparent, accountable governance instead of an unelected permanent political class rewriting rules for its benefit.
Hardworking Americans deserve a coherent immigration policy that secures the border, enforces the law, and protects communities — policies Democrats used to support until it became politically inconvenient. These resurfaced clips aren’t nostalgia; they are a reminder that honest debate about borders isn’t bigotry, it’s patriotism, and voters should hold hypocrites accountable at the ballot box.
