In a shocking display of disloyalty to the United States, Democratic Rep. Delia Ramirez (IL) openly proclaimed her allegiance to Guatemala over America during a speech at the Panamerican Congress in Mexico City this weekend. The far-left lawmaker, who represents Illinois in Congress, boldly declared in Spanish, “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American,” a statement that has ignited fury among patriotic Americans and drawn swift condemnation from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Republican leaders.
While the liberal media remains eerily silent on Ramirez’s blatant rejection of American sovereignty, conservatives and immigration hawks are demanding accountability. The DHS responded with a powerful rebuke, quoting President Theodore Roosevelt: “There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism…Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.” This statement underscores the foundational principle that elected officials must prioritize America first—a value championed by President Donald Trump, who has long warned against the dangers of dual loyalties in government.
GOP Rep. Andy Ogles led the charge against Ramirez, calling for her immediate denaturalization, deportation, and removal from the Homeland Security Committee. “If you put another nation before the United States, you have no business serving in Congress, let alone on a committee tasked with protecting our homeland,” Ogles declared. His stance reflects the growing frustration among Americans who are tired of open-border radicals like Ramirez undermining national security while flaunting their contempt for American citizenship.
Ramirez’s remarks are part of a disturbing trend among far-left Democrats who prioritize globalism over patriotism. While President Trump and his allies fight to secure the border and uphold the rule of law, Democrats like Ramirez openly align themselves with foreign interests. This incident is yet another example of why Trump’s America First agenda is critical—without strong leadership, figures like Ramirez will continue to erode the very fabric of the nation.

Transcript of Ramirez’s Remarks:
“This weekend, I was honored to join progressive legislators from across the continent—our neighbors and friends—for the second Panamerican Congress in Mexico City!… I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.”
The liberal media, ever eager to shield progressive politicians from scrutiny, has downplayed Ramirez’s comments, further proving their complicity in the left’s anti-American agenda. Meanwhile, President Trump continues to rally Americans behind the cause of sovereignty, security, and unwavering loyalty to the United States.
