Let’s be clear about something fundamental: in America, the rule of law is supposed to be non-negotiable. It’s not a suggestion, it’s the entire foundation holding this country together. We entrust leaders with the duty of upholding our laws, a duty they affirm with a sworn oath. This is the pact, the sacred trust between the governed and those who govern.

So what happens when that pact isn’t just broken, but gleefully stomped on for political gain? It’s not a hypothetical anymore. It’s the latest political farce unfolding in a major American city, and it cheapens the very meaning of citizenship. This story is a stark reminder of whether we are still a nation of laws or just a nation run by the whims of political power.

From ‘TheBlaze’:

A Minnesota state representative who once confessed to her own apparently unlawful entry into the United States won the St. Paul mayoral race on Tuesday…

“My father, as the one processing the paperwork, put my grandmother down as his mother,” Her stated. “And so, I am illegal in this country,” she continued. “My parents are illegal here in this country.”

Those aren’t the words of some random activist. That was Minnesota’s own Kaohly Vang Her, a Democrat, confessing on the state House floor. And this past Tuesday, in their infinite wisdom, the voters of St. Paul made her their next mayor.

While arguing for taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants, Her casually admitted her father committed federal fraud to get their family into the United States. This wasn’t a desperate plea for asylum; it was a calculated scheme to cut the line.

A Mockery of Our Laws

As shocking as that confession was, her follow-up comments revealed something even worse: a breathtaking arrogance and contempt for the very system she now leads. Forget remorse or humility. Her framed her family’s crime as a sign of intellectual superiority.

“My family was just smarter in how we illegally came here,” she boasted.

That sentence right there tells you everything you need to know about her contempt for our country’s laws. It is a slap in the face to every legal immigrant who spent years navigating our complex system with honesty and patience. It suggests that following the rules is for fools, while the truly clever are entitled to cheat.

No Remorse, Only Excuses

When the backlash came, Her didn’t apologize. She deployed the modern politician’s playbook: deflect, minimize, and reframe. She tried to assure everyone that she and her parents are citizens now, and that her on-the-record confession was just a cynical ploy to “inspire empathy” from Republicans.

She tried to brush off the crime itself, saying, “Technically, you would say my father broke the law, right? But we would have come anyway.” That is the language of an elitist who views the law as a minor inconvenience, not a pillar of our society. It’s a mindset utterly incompatible with the duties of a public servant.

The Unacceptable Precedent

The election of Kaohly Vang Her isn’t just a local Minnesota issue; it sets a poisonous precedent for the entire country. It broadcasts a clear message: in today’s Democratic party, breaking federal law is not a career-ender. It can be a launchpad.

When we reward this behavior with one of the highest offices in a major city, we tell the world our laws are a joke. We teach a generation that personal narratives, even those built on a foundation of fraud, are more important than integrity. This isn’t just bad politics; it’s a direct threat to the meaning of American citizenship.

This is not about immigration; it is about the rule of law. An individual who proudly admits to benefiting from federal fraud is fundamentally unfit to hold an office that requires an oath to uphold our laws. Her election is an insult to every law-abiding American and a stain on our political system. For the integrity of the office and the principle of equal justice, Kaohly Vang Her must be removed.

Key Takeaways

• St. Paul’s new mayor was elected after admitting her family broke federal immigration law.
• Her public statements show a disturbing pride in subverting the American legal system.
• This election sets a dangerous precedent that rewards illegal actions with political power.
• Upholding the rule of law requires holding officials accountable for admitted fraud.
