Putting Guatemala First, America Last

Brace yourself for the latest display of Democrat disloyalty. On August 2, 2025, Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) stood on foreign soil in Mexico City and declared, in Spanish, “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American” at the second annual Panamerican Congress. Undoubtedly, this is a gut-punch to every citizen who expects their elected officials to prioritize the United States. Ramirez’s remarks, alongside her Squad allies’ anti-American rants, expose a deep-seated contempt for the nation they swore to serve. Let’s dive into the facts, her weak defense, and why this betrayal demands accountability.

The Mexico City Debacle: Ramirez’s Allegiance Revealed

The Panamerican Congress, held August 1-3, 2025, in Mexico City, was a leftist lovefest organized by Progressive International and Mexico’s ruling Morena party, per an August 4, 2025, Fox News report. It drew radicals like Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro, a former M-19 terrorist, and U.S. Squad members including Reps. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Summer Lee, Jesús Gilberto García, and Ramirez, all Congressional Progressive Caucus members. Ramirez, speaking at the opening ceremony, didn’t just celebrate her Guatemalan heritage—she explicitly placed it above her American identity, accusing the U.S. of “imperialism, militarization, conquest, control, and competition in its attempt at domination,” per an August 4, 2025, Tampa Free Press report.

Her comments weren’t a slip. Ramirez, born in Chicago to Guatemalan immigrant parents, has built her career on open-borders advocacy, per her congressional website. Her husband, a DACA recipient, is illegally in the U.S., a fact she flaunts as a “mixed-status marriage” badge, per an August 5, 2025, Blaze Media report. At the summit, she railed against Trump’s immigration crackdown, which includes 247,000 deportations per CBP data, and called for defunding ICE, per an August 4, 2025, RedState report. Ramirez’s words aren’t just rhetoric—they’re a declaration of divided loyalty from a sitting congresswoman.

The Backlash: Calls for Accountability

Ramirez’s remarks ignited a firestorm. On August 4, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security’s official X account reposted a clip of her speech, citing Theodore Roosevelt: “There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism…Our allegiance must be purely to the United States.” Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) demanded her denaturalization, deportation, and removal from the Homeland Security Committee, where she serves as vice-ranking member, per an August 4, 2025, Times Now report.

X posts on August 4-5, 2025, echoed this, with users calling for her expulsion from Congress for prioritizing Guatemala over America.

The White House piled on, with spokesperson Liz Huston slamming Ramirez and her Squad allies as “despicable” for “putting Americans last,” per an August 4, 2025, Fox News report. Trump’s team contrasted her remarks with his border security push, including a January 20, 2025, emergency declaration that’s curbed illegal crossings, per a July 20, 2025, White House memo. Ramirez’s stance is a betrayal of her oath, especially as a Homeland Security Committee member tasked with protecting U.S. sovereignty.

Ramirez’s Lame Defense: Doubling Down on Division

Facing backlash, Ramirez issued a statement on August 4, 2025, claiming she’s “both Chapina and American” and accusing critics of “nativist, white supremacist” attacks to “silence my dissent,” per a Fox News report. She argued that her white colleagues face no scrutiny for celebrating Irish or Italian heritage, calling the outrage “hypocrisy.” But this dodges the point: no colleague has publicly placed another nation’s identity above America’s, especially not on foreign soil at an anti-U.S. summit. Her defense, per an August 5, 2025, Newsweek report, insists her Guatemalan pride “strengthens” her American commitment, but her call to defund ICE and her husband’s illegal status undermine that claim.

Ramirez’s record shows where her heart lies. She’s co-leading the Dream and Promise Act for DACA recipients, per her campaign website, and introduced the Block the Bombs Act on July 30, 2025, to halt U.S. aid to Israel, per an X post. Her July 31, 2025, X post bashed Trump’s immigration policies as “vile and hateful,” aligning with her Mexico City rhetoric. From an America First view, this isn’t dual pride—it’s prioritizing foreign interests over American security.

The Bigger Picture: Squad’s Anti-American Agenda

Ramirez wasn’t alone in Mexico City. Rep. Rashida Tlaib earned a standing ovation as a “symbol of resistance” from Colombia’s deputy minister, per an August 4, 2025, Yahoo News report, for her anti-Israel stance. The summit, per its website, aimed to challenge U.S. “global dominance,” with speakers slamming Trump’s deportation surge and Israel’s war on Hamas. This aligns with the Squad’s pattern: Omar and Tlaib have called Israel’s actions “genocide,” per an August 4, 2025, Fox News report, and Ramirez’s July 26, 2025, X post accused Netanyahu of “annexation and control” in Gaza and beyond.

Without question, this is a coordinated assault on U.S. interests. The Squad’s presence at a summit hosted by an anti-capitalist group that calls capitalism a “virus,” per an August 4, 2025, Tampa Free Press report, shows their true colors. They’re not just criticizing policy—they’re undermining the nation that elected them, cozying up to foreign radicals while Americans face border chaos and economic strain.

Why It Hits Home: A Betrayal of the Heartland

Ramirez’s remarks sting every farmer in Iowa, trucker in Ohio, and small business owner in Texas who expects their representatives to put America first. Her district, Illinois’s 3rd, includes Chicago’s working-class neighborhoods, yet she’s prioritizing Guatemala and illegal immigrants over citizens struggling with 20.1% inflation from Biden’s term. Trump’s policies—3.0% GDP growth in Q2 2025, 345,000 new jobs, and gas prices down to $3.15 by July 20, 2025, are delivering for the heartland. Ramirez’s rhetoric, meanwhile, fuels division and weakens sovereignty.

Her role on the Homeland Security Committee is especially galling. She’s blasted Trump’s border czar and demanded ICE defunding while her husband’s DACA status raises questions about conflicts of interest. A July 25, 2025, X post from Florida Voice News highlighted Gov. Ron DeSantis slamming Democrats like Ramirez for ignoring victims of illegal immigrant crime. Her actions scream disloyalty, putting foreign nationals above American safety.
