Washington, D.C. was jolted this week when two West Virginia National Guard members were ambushed while on duty near the White House, a shocking assault that left one service member dead and another gravely wounded. The brazen daytime attack sent a clear message to Americans: our streets and even our capital are not safe when the rule of law and common-sense immigration policy are abandoned.
Investigators say the alleged shooter is a 29-year-old Afghan national who arrived in the United States under Operation Allies Welcome and later applied for asylum, a pathway that placed him on American soil after the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. Reports indicate he had worked with CIA-backed units in Afghanistan before resettling here, raising painful questions about how someone with that background slipped through and was allowed to roam freely.
Former ICE director Jonathan Fahey wasted no time telling viewers what many hardworking Americans already suspect: the Biden administration didn’t prioritize public safety when it rushed mass resettlements without adequate scrutiny. Fahey’s blunt assessment — that the leadership in Washington “didn’t care” about rigorous vetting — is the kind of no-nonsense appraisal we need when the facts line up against reckless policy.
Fahey also pointed out that the administration vetted and admitted more than 60,000 Afghan evacuees, a number that should alarm anyone who believes security must come before political virtue signaling. It’s not xenophobia to demand that people who enter our country be checked thoroughly; it’s patriotism and basic common sense to protect citizens and those who serve.
The political consequences have been immediate but overdue: federal agencies have announced pauses and reviews of Afghan immigration processing, and the nation’s leaders are being forced to reckon with the human cost of open-door policies. Americans deserve a permanent fix — not a temporary review — to the porous systems that let dangerous individuals exploit our generosity and then turn that opportunity into bloodshed.
Law enforcement is treating this as an act of terror while they dig through the suspect’s past and connections, and patriots from both parties should demand a no-nonsense overhaul of vetting, asylum adjudication, and border control. We must stop pretending softer rhetoric and hollow promises equal safety; the men and women in uniform who protect us deserve a government that will protect them in return.
To the families of the fallen and the wounded, this entire nation owes not just prayers but policies that prevent future tragedies — real enforcement, accountable agencies, and leaders who put Americans first. If Washington refuses to act, voters will replace complacency with competence; America’s streets, its capital, and those who wear the uniform demand nothing less.
