Watching the Biden administration stumble through immigration and asylum policy has been like watching a slow-motion catastrophe that could have been prevented, and Chris Salcedo is right to call it what it is — lethal. When your border is a revolving door and your asylum system is an invitation to chaos, ordinary Americans pay with higher taxes, crowded hospitals, and neighborhoods that feel less safe. This isn’t compassion; it’s an abdication of responsibility that punishes citizens while rewarding lawlessness.
Salcedo’s blunt question — “What if Trump issued a blanket order that all policies, all asylum cases had to start over from scratch because America couldn’t rely on the amateur hour crew in the Biden regime…” — lands because it highlights a painful truth: broken systems don’t heal when the people running them lack competence or will. Restarting asylum cases under a competent, enforce-first policy wouldn’t be mean; it would be common-sense triage to protect our sovereignty and restore order. Conservatives know that fairness comes with rules and enforcement, not endless backlogs and bureaucratic hand-wringing.
The human cost of weak borders is not abstract. When smugglers and cartels exploit open policies, dead bodies and ruined lives follow — and our cities absorb the costs. Families who work hard and play by the rules watch their communities change overnight while political elites lecture them about tolerance and virtue. That hypocrisy stings because everyday Americans see the consequences up close: overwhelmed schools, longer ER waits, and a crime problem that too often gets papered over with statistics and excuses.
If the Biden team were competent, we might debate nuance; instead we’re forced to debate emergency measures. A decisive reset — as Salcedo suggested — would send a clear message that the rule of law matters again and that America will not be trampled by radical open-border ideologues. It’s not radical to expect your government to secure your country; it’s patriotic. Leaders should stop apologizing for enforcing the law and start doing their jobs.
Republicans and conservatives must stop offering half-measures and start presenting a coherent plan that protects both our borders and our humanitarian commitments. That means real asylum adjudication at the border, expedited removals for repeat offenders, and secure detention for those who pose a risk — policies that deter dangerous crossings and keep lives safe. The left’s feel-good policies have created a magnet for misery, and the remedy is not more bureaucratic theater but tough-minded implementation.
America was built on the idea that liberty depends on law and order, and we cannot preserve our liberty by pretending a failed policy is anything but what it is. Chris Salcedo’s fury mirrors the frustration of millions who want a government that acts like it loves the country it serves. Electing leaders is one thing; holding them accountable and demanding competence is another. If conservatives want to reclaim trust, they must fight for policies that secure our nation and honor the sacrifices of the citizens who build it every day.
