When even Hillary Clinton — the standard-bearer of the old establishment — stands up at the Munich Security Conference and admits that mass migration “went too far” and has been “disruptive and destabilizing,” hardworking Americans should take notice and stop letting elites gaslight us about the costs of open borders. Her words were a rare, if belated, nod to a reality parents and small-business owners have felt for years: unchecked migration strains schools, wages, and public safety.
That reality has collided with a partisan fight in Washington that produced a partial Department of Homeland Security funding lapse, leaving essential services on edge and agencies like TSA and FEMA exposed while DHS scrambles to protect the homeland. Lawmakers playing political games over ICE’s mandate are the ones putting communities at risk, even as some enforcement functions try to limp along on prior appropriations. The voters who demand secure borders deserve better than shutdown stunts that hamstring the people on the frontlines.
Into this vacuum stepped DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, who didn’t mince words on Fox’s America Reports — praising the rare truth from Clinton and warning about how the partial DHS shutdown complicates I.C.E.’s mission to remove dangerous criminal aliens. McLaughlin’s blunt, no-nonsense defense of law enforcement is the kind of straight talk Washington sorely needs; she’s telling Americans what the elites refuse to admit: border enforcement isn’t a political hobby, it’s national security.
Conservatives should be unabashed in applauding McLaughlin and calling out the party of open-borders theater. Democrats who suddenly twiddle their thumbs while demanding reforms that neuter enforcement are responsible for the crisis they helped create; the only honest policy is to fund and empower our agents, not to kneecap them for headlines. The people risking their lives to protect our streets and communities deserve resources, not virtue-signaling delays.
If Republicans want to win for the long term, they must stop negotiating away border security and start delivering clear, enforceable policies that restore sovereignty and prioritize American families. That means fully funding Homeland Security, backing I.C.E. and Border Patrol where they are doing the hard work, and pushing pragmatic reforms that stop the flow of illegal entry without turning our country into a welfare magnet. Voters will reward courage and results, not Washington’s endless theater.
Patriots know what’s at stake: our neighborhoods, our culture, and the rule of law. Thank you to public servants like McLaughlin who speak truth to power and to the men and women on the line who enforce our laws — conservatives will keep fighting to secure the border, support our agents, and put citizens first against the tidal wave of mass migration that even the establishment now admits has gone too far.
