America is watching a moral and practical collapse at our border while the political class offers nothing but excuses. On his Newsmax program Rob Finnerty rightly called out the Democrats for their deafening silence as violent crimes committed by people here illegally mount and Americans pay the price.
The facts are not subtle: Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations have rounded up hundreds of thousands of illegal entrants and repeatedly exposed violent offenders hiding in plain sight. The Biden administration’s own enforcement numbers and multiple Newsmax reports show large-scale arrests of individuals with serious criminal records — the kind of people Democrats pretend don’t exist when convenient.
Meanwhile, sanctuary policies and political cover for open-border ideology are more than a policy mistake; they are a direct threat to public safety. State and local officials who block cooperation with federal authorities have allowed dangerous people to slip back into communities, a reality even state attorneys general and conservative commentators have warned about.
Conservative lawmakers are responding to the carnage Democrats ignore, pushing hardline measures to deter criminal entry and remove violent offenders — including proposals to make killings by illegal entrants punishable by the harshest penalties. Senators like Tommy Tuberville have introduced legislation reflecting the frustration of victims’ families and citizens who want common-sense consequences for barbaric acts.
It is outrageous that one political party treats public safety as a bargaining chip while citizens live in fear of a borderless America. Media elites and Democratic leaders have chosen slogans over security, leaving governors, sheriffs, and everyday Americans to pick up the pieces when policies fail.
Hardworking patriots must demand accountability at the ballot box and in the halls of power: secure the border, restore cooperation between federal and local law enforcement, and stop sanitizing the facts to protect a political brand. If our leaders refuse to act, the American people will — and they should, to protect their families, their towns, and the nation they love.
