adminAmerica owes thanks to Tom Homan for calling out what too many in Washington still refuse to see: a political class that has been, by words and votes, complicit in the border catastrophe now threatening our communities and national security. Homan didn’t mince words on Laura Ingraham’s show, accusing Democratic leaders of enabling lawlessness while hardworking citizens pay the price.
Homan laid out the human consequences conservatives have warned about for years — from cartel-run plazas that smuggle people and poison into our towns to a fentanyl crisis and historic highs in human trafficking that could have been mitigated with real enforcement. These aren’t abstract talking points; they’re preventable tragedies that have followed open-border politics and weak oversight.
At the same time, progressive icons like Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jayapal have doubled down on radical demands to abolish or neuter the agencies that keep this country safe, even urging colleagues to withhold DHS funding to score political points. Their rhetoric—celebrated by the leftist press—has the predictable effect of emboldening activists who would obstruct law enforcement rather than build solutions.
That theater in Washington has real consequences on the Hill, where Democrats are fracturing over whether to fund the Department of Homeland Security as the nation watches federal officers struggle to manage a crisis they say was allowed to fester. The vote splits and brinkmanship are not principled oversight; they are political cover for a party that prefers virtue signaling to securing the border.
Conservatives must be blunt: defending our sovereignty and the rule of law is not cruelty, it is duty. If Democrats want to score points by dismantling ICE or starving DHS of resources, they should be forced to explain to victims of cartel violence, communities drowning in fentanyl, and families stripped of safety how that helps anyone but smugglers and traffickers.
We should also demand accountability from those elected officials who cheer on chaos while brave agents risk their lives to hold the line. Patriots don’t cower when institutions are attacked; we stand up, fund law enforcement, and insist on better oversight and prosecutions for abuses — not abolition for political theater.
Here’s the bottom line for every hardworking American: the choice is simple. Will we back border security and common-sense enforcement that protects our children and communities, or will we let career politicians and coastal elites barter away our safety to virtue-signal their way into headlines? The next elections will tell us whether America values law and order or succumbs to the catastrophic consequences of open borders.
