America is finally getting the border security it voted for, and don’t let anyone gaslight you about it. CBP Senior Advisor Ron Vitiello told Trey Gowdy on Sunday Night in America that the border is “much safer than it has ever been,” and he spoke like a man who’s led from the front and seen the difference boots on the ground make. Proud Americans should recognize that when career law-enforcement professionals say the situation has improved, we owe them praise and the resources to keep it that way.
Vitiello’s candor matters because it’s backed up by action: the new administration ended catch-and-release, pushed coordinated interagency deportations, and is delivering results that drench the myths of an open border. CBP is reporting dramatic drops in releases and a focused push to remove the worst offenders while protecting communities from fentanyl and cartel violence. Those are not feel-good talking points from cable news, they’re the hard outcomes of policy and willpower.
Make no mistake — this turnaround is the direct result of decisive enforcement and the reversal of the dangerous soft-on-border policies that dominated the previous administration. Even a former Biden aide admitted the prior administration’s failures contributed to crisis conditions, and now we are finally seeing the consequences of restoring the rule of law. The American people were right to demand a return to basic enforcement; when you secure the border, you protect jobs, neighborhoods, and public safety.
But victories can be fleeting if Washington gets complacent. Vitiello has made clear that sustaining gains requires more personnel, better technology, and long-term investment — not virtue signaling and press releases. Congress must deliver funding for border sensors, ports of entry staffing, and more Border Patrol agents and CBP officers so that progress isn’t reversed by the same soft policies that got us into this mess.
It’s also worth calling out the radical voices who try to undermine our successes by spinning every enforcement step as cruel or xenophobic. Law enforcement is not a political prop; it’s the thin blue line that keeps Americans safe, and it deserves respect, not smear campaigns. We should be demanding accountability from anyone who cheered open borders while communities paid the price in drugs, cartel violence, and overwhelmed systems.
For patriots who love this country, the choice is clear: back the agents who are turning the tide and pressure Washington to finish the job. That means walls where they work, rapid deportation processes for criminal entrants, and an unblinking commitment to interagency cooperation that Vitiello says has been unprecedented. This is not a partisan plea — it’s a demand that America remain secure and that the rule of law apply to everyone.
We owe our gratitude to the men and women in uniform who are doing the hard work at the border every day, and we must ensure they have the tools to keep delivering for the American people. If Washington wants to prove it’s serious, it will fund, staff, and defend the policies that restored order and saved lives. Stand with CBP, stand for sovereignty, and never apologize for wanting a safe country for your children and grandchildren.
