Rep. Andy Biggs laid into the left’s open-border agenda on Fox Report, rightly calling out a Democratic strategy that he says is “thematically consistent” with efforts to gut our immigration enforcement. Biggs pointed to a pattern: Democrats cheer on defunding or dismantling agencies that actually keep Americans safe, and then act surprised when chaos follows.
House Republicans are answering with muscle, moving to lock in multi‑year funding for ICE and Border Patrol so enforcement has the resources it needs even when Democrats play politics with appropriations. Using reconciliation and other budget tools may be untidy, but when the other side refuses to fund core functions of government, responsible lawmakers have a duty to secure our borders and back the officers on the line.
Make no mistake: calls to “abolish ICE” are not a myth or a fringe talking point—those demands have been voiced inside the Democratic coalition for years, and resurfaced again as enforcement incidents and shutdown fights have roiled Washington. This isn’t abstract policymaking; it’s an ideological campaign to shrink federal law enforcement authority while expecting taxpayers to cover the consequences.
The results are predictable and immediate: when Democrats block or threaten funding for immigration enforcement, communities feel the pain — border crossings spike, cartels gain leverage, and local law enforcement struggles to respond. Democrats who posture about compassion while undermining the tools that enforce law and order are picking winners and losers, and hardworking Americans in border and heartland states are paying the price.
Conservatives should celebrate leaders who stand with border agents and reject the soft‑on‑crime, open‑borders experiment. Voters deserve representatives who will secure the perimeter, fund the boots on the ground, and push back against a political class that treats national security as a negotiating chip. If Republicans keep fighting to restore order and the Democrats keep playing politics, patriotic Americans will remember who had their back when the chips were down.
