Staff Reports
A brave Marine veteran lies paralyzed, fighting for his life, all thanks to a dangerous illegal immigrant who should have been deported long ago. This heartbreaking story of a Texas hero is a monumental failure by the previous administration and their weak, liberal policies that allowed this tragedy to unfold. Time and time again, this illegal alien slipped through the cracks of an utterly broken immigration system, a system that puts criminals back on the streets instead of behind bars.
This isn’t just a story of one man’s ordeal; it’s a harsh reminder of the consequences of soft-on-crime liberal policies. The perpetrator, arrested multiple times and repeatedly released, roamed freely without fear of real consequence. With each slap on the wrist, the message to other criminals becomes clear: in today’s America, if you’re an illegal alien, you get a free pass. Our streets aren’t safe, and law-abiding citizens pay the price for our government’s failures.
My thoughts and prayers are with Jimmy Friesenhahn tonight, a Marine veteran and a Texan, who is fighting for his life after being shot by an illegal alien.
His attacker never should’ve been in our country. https://t.co/1LRkSdxKXj

Contemptible globalist interests and leftist activists continue to prioritize open borders over the safety of American families. This Marine, bravely fulfilling his duty, now faces a harsh reality of paralysis, unable to speak, his life forever changed. All he did was stand up to a lawless intruder wielding a gun, yet, he now lies in a hospital bed facing an uncertain future. His sacrifice highlights the hypocrisy of those who claim to advocate for public safety but allow such dangers to persist unchecked.
Every single encounter this criminal had with the justice system is a stain on the notion of true justice in America. From reduced charges to minimal bonds, this story exposes the lunacy and recklessness of leftist policies designed to coddle criminals. And yet, politicians in their ivory towers have enabled this madness, safely distanced from the consequences of their destructive games.
The rhetoric of “compassionate” immigration systems is just a mask for irresponsibility and naivety. We must ask ourselves: how many more Americans must suffer before we take a stand? How many lives need to be torn apart before we restore sanity, security, and strength to this nation’s laws? If protecting our heroes isn’t enough motivation to act, what more will it take to open the eyes of those blinded by their own ideological nonsense?
