Carl Higbie didn’t mince words on Friday’s edition of his show when he ripped into Democrats for their open defense of illegal migrants, arguing the party has lost sight of law and order and common-sense patriotism. Higbie’s FRONTLINE has become a steady megaphone for conservative frustration with the border crisis and the media’s soft treatment of those who favor open-border policies.
This is not idle cable bluster — it’s a pointed political indictment: Democrats defend a policy that rewards lawbreaking while insisting hardworking Americans simply tolerate the consequences. Higbie’s remarks reflect a broader conservative view that the left has embraced a dangerous, self-interested posture that prioritizes political calculus over public safety and the rule of law.
Look at the patterns: Democratic operatives and sympathetic officials travel to defend migrants, then lament the very strain those policies place on communities when problems inevitably follow. That performative compassion masks an ugly calculus — importing a dependent electorate while ignoring the real victims: American citizens, workers, and taxpayers.
Cities from New York to sanctuary jurisdictions across the country are groaning under overflowing shelters, emergency rooms, and school systems, and voters are starting to see the human cost of leniency. Conservatives aren’t callous about suffering; we insist charity and order go together, and that compassion must not mean surrendering sovereignty.
Worse, the radical fringe defending open-borders tactics has at times crossed into lawlessness — protesting inside churches, obstructing federal enforcement, and creating scenes that endanger officers and citizens alike. That kind of behavior doesn’t deserve praise; it deserves condemnation and stronger enforcement of existing laws.
The economic fallout is real and measurable: illegal labor depresses wages for American workers, displaces families who play by the rules, and incentivizes bad actors who profit from chaos. If we love our country and its working-class backbone, we must insist on interior enforcement, secure borders, and policies that protect American jobs first.
Patriots shouldn’t be fooled by the left’s moral preening; what we need is decisive action, accountability from officials who enabled this crisis, and elected leaders who will put citizens before political expedience. It’s time for conservatives to keep the pressure on, demand real border security, and remind every voter that a nation without borders is not a nation at all.
