The architect of some of DHS\u2019 most consequential immigration enforcement operations fired back at Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., after Swalwell posted a Christmas image depicting a helicopter and ICE agents<\/a> converging on the Bethlehem cr\u00e8che.<\/p>\n

“May this be the last Christmas we live this nightmare,” Swalwell captioned the image, which drew widespread backlash during the Twelve Days of Christmas.<\/p>\n

“Yes, the last Christmas where un-American pedantic dolts choose illegal aliens over US Citizens,” U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino<\/a> responded, before following up by exchanging with others on social media.<\/p>\n

Bovino then replied to a Florida woman who told Swalwell: “Yes, the nightmare was [the] last four years prior letting in everyone and their grandma. Insane [a] congressman would post this.”<\/p>\n

“Well said\u2026 Merry Christmas,” Bovino said, adding he would follow her X account.<\/p>\n

When another critic brought up Swalwell\u2019s alleged relationship<\/a> with a Chinese spy named Fang Fang \u2013 which the congressman denies \u2013 Bovino quipped, “Oh yes, how could I forget to mention that.”<\/p>\n

Other commentators slammed Swalwell for appearing to misstate the underlying facts of why Joseph and Mary<\/a> had gone to Bethlehem and why they fled to Egypt soon after Jesus Christ\u2019s birth \u2013 a storyline immigration activists sometimes use to counter pro-border security arguments.<\/p>\n

One cited a passage from the Gospel of Luke, which recounts that Caesar Augustus ordered a census across the Roman Empire, requiring each man to return to his ancestral town. Joseph, a descendant of King David, therefore traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem, David\u2019s birthplace.<\/p>\n

Per the Gospel of Matthew, an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him to take his family and flee to Egypt, as King Herod was seeking to kill young Jesus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Observers often debate the connection, if any, that biblical passages have to contemporary immigration policy arguments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Immigration hawks often cite Egypt as being a province of the Roman Empire<\/a>, meaning the Holy Family did not immigrate to another country as refugees in a legal sense, but to escape Herod\u2019s rule as a provincial king installed by Rome; similar to a governor; until his death made it safe to return to Judea.<\/p>\n

Others dispute that<\/a> characterization.<\/p>\n

“Eric \u2013 Mary and Joseph were legal immigrants complying with the rules of the Roman Empire,” conservative activist Robby Starbuck responded to the congressman.<\/p>\n

“Rome ordered a census and Joseph had to be counted because Bethlehem was his city; basically the opposite of illegal immigration. Lying about this is Christophobic,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Starbuck added that in the Book of Acts, God “marked out\u2026 boundaries of their lands,” which the commentator said was proof that secure borders have scriptural grounding<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another critic posted an image of actor Gerry Bamman as his “Uncle Frank” character sneering in the Christmas classic<\/a> “Home Alone,” as if to reply to the congressman’s depiction.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Swalwell for comment for purposes of this story but did not hear back by press time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
