The border crisis today is no accident. It’s the direct result of Biden’s open-door chaos and the refusal of left-wing states to uphold American law. But now, thanks to the Trump administration’s toughness, ICE is finally cracking down on illegal immigration in places that thought they were above the law. Take Colorado, for example — a so-called “sanctuary state” where liberals proudly thumb their noses at federal immigration enforcement. Since Trump took office, arrests of illegal immigrants there have exploded, soaring by 300 percent. That means more than a thousand bad actors have been pulled off the streets, putting the lie to the cowardly claims that sanctuary policies somehow protect communities.
This isn’t just a one-off. Illinois and New York, other blue states that shelter illegals under the guise of sanctuary, have also seen major spikes in ICE actions. Yet even their numbers look tiny compared to the real border battlegrounds: Texas, California, and Florida. Those are the states where border security means something, where law and order still hold some sway. It’s no surprise that Trump’s enforcement numbers dwarf Biden’s feeble efforts. After all, Biden opened the floodgates and then whined when the house flooded. Deporting hundreds of thousands of migrants doesn’t amount to much when tens of millions more pour in unchallenged, and when the vast majority of caught illegals are simply released to roam free.

Biden’s so-called immigration “policy” is nothing more than a globalist’s wet dream — turning America into an endless catch-and-release playground for anyone willing to break the law. Meanwhile, his administration has failed utterly at enforcing our borders or defending our sovereignty. Trump’s approach, by contrast, is real enforcement. It’s about halting the tide, not just playing public relations. Returning illegal immigrants to their home countries means fewer new arrivals. It means safer streets. It means reasserting America’s right to control who enters its borders.
Leftists rant about “sanctuary” policies as if they’re compassionate. But what compassion is found in allowing criminals, gang members, and job-stealers to remain hidden in plain sight? The real cruelty is to American citizens: the workers who see wages undercut, the taxpayers footing the bill for welfare and crime, and the neighborhoods turned dangerous. Sanctuary states are nothing more than safe havens for lawbreakers — and the Trump administration is making sure those states are no longer immune from justice.
It’s simple: America cannot be great if we don’t control our borders. Cutting illegal crossings to nearly zero is the foundation for secure communities, stronger jobs, and real national pride—something Biden’s America has utterly lost. The question is, how long will these sanctuary states keep defying federal law and putting Americans last? And when will real Americans demand an end to this insanity for good?
