Democrat state representative Sandra Feist stormed up to a Border Patrol commander at the Minnesota Capitol and came away looking like a caricature of the open-borders left. The encounter was captured on video and shared widely on social platforms, where the commander calmly dismantled her talking points and left the room while Feist fumbled for answers.
The exchange exposed a basic truth the left keeps trying to rewrite: crossing the border illegally is a violation of federal law, not a harmless paperwork issue. The commander pointed to the statute criminalizing improper entry and made the simple, patriotic case that enforcing the law keeps citizens safe while Democrats grandstand.
Feist’s performance was textbook political theater — she tried to fact-check on her phone, lobbed emotionally charged accusations about a separate ICE shooting, and repeatedly changed topics when pressed. The Border Patrol commander stayed composed and methodical, showing why Americans respect people who protect our borders instead of lecturing them.
This wasn’t just a personal defeat for one legislator; it was a microcosm of the cultural collapse in Democrat politics. Feist’s history of ACLU association and progressivism underscores how the party has prioritized ideology over order, producing elected officials who lecture law enforcement instead of backing them when danger arrives.
Patriots should watch this clip and remember who really keeps our communities safe: trained, disciplined officers who do the job Democrats refuse to do. While celebrity politicians posture for headlines, Border Patrol and ICE personnel are out there doing the hard, unpopular work of enforcing the law — work that must be defended, funded, and respected.
If anything should come from this moment it’s a renewed demand for common-sense enforcement and political accountability. Americans deserve representatives who stand with law enforcement, uphold statutes like 8 U.S.C. 1325, and stop treating border security as an optional virtue signal. The commander’s calm correction was a reminder that the rule of law matters — and voters should reward lawmakers who understand that.
