A brazen attack near the White House left two West Virginia National Guard members shot — one dead and one fighting for his life — and the alleged shooter has been identified as an Afghan national who entered the United States under the post‑withdrawal resettlement programs. The shocking proximity of the ambush and the suspect’s background have forced a national reckoning about how many potentially dangerous individuals were brought here with insufficient vetting. Americans who put on the uniform to protect our capital deserve better than excuses from an administration that pretends open‑borders policies pose no risk.
President Trump acted quickly and rightly, announcing an immediate pause on processing Afghan immigration requests and directing federal agencies to re‑examine asylum and green card approvals tied to countries of concern. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services confirmed it had stopped processing Afghan-related immigration requests pending a full review of vetting protocols, a sensible security step any responsible leader would take after such an attack. For once, safety of Americans comes before political correctness, and that’s the posture this country needs.
House Speaker Mike Johnson and GOP congressional candidate Matt Van Epps joined Will Cain to explain why this is not merely a federal immigration issue but a test of our commitment to law and order and of Republicans’ ability to hold the line for voters. The Tennessee special election taking place now is being framed by conservatives as a referendum on national security and common-sense immigration enforcement, and party leaders are rightly rallying behind candidates who stand for those priorities. This race isn’t abstract — it’s a practical step toward restoring a majority that will back real border solutions.
Don’t believe the left’s predictable hand‑wringing about compassion; there’s nothing compassionate about bringing people in without rigorous screening and then watching Americans get hurt. The facts reported about the suspect’s arrival under Biden-era programs expose the perverse consequences of prioritizing appearances over actual safety. Conservatives will not apologize for demanding that every person admitted to our country is properly vetted and proves they will be an asset, not a liability.
This moment should also remind every voter in Tennessee and across America that elections have consequences. A narrow victory for a GOP candidate like Matt Van Epps will send a message that citizens expect lawmakers to secure the homeland and stand with our troops, not with open‑borders ideology that endangers them. If Republicans fail to turn out now, the left will keep weaponizing tragedy to block serious reforms and keep dangerous policies in place.
Congress and the executive branch must move beyond posturing and implement concrete measures: reexamine past admissions from countries of concern, shut down loopholes that allowed questionable entries, and ensure deportation of those who pose threats. USCIS’s decision to pause Afghan processing and re‑review green cards is the kind of rigorous oversight long demanded by conservatives and now tragically validated by events. We owe it to the two Guardsmen, their families, and every American who expects to walk their streets without fear to act decisively.
Patriots, this is a call to stand up for safety, for the men and women who serve, and for candidates who mean what they say about law and order. Vote in the Tennessee special election, support leaders who will secure our border and vetting processes, and refuse to let the left return us to the days when ideology trumped the safety of ordinary Americans. Our nation’s security is not negotiable, and neither is our gratitude to those who defend it.
