Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a fiery defense of America’s immigration laws during a Senate hearing this week. He blasted Senator Chris Van Hollen for meeting with an illegal immigrant gang member deported for terrorizing communities. Rubio’s razor-sharp words exposed the left’s dangerous priorities.
Rubio didn’t hold back when attacking Van Hollen’s visit to El Salvador to meet Kilmar Abrego-Garcia. The illegal immigrant was deported after being linked to the violent MS-13 gang. Photos showed Van Hollen sitting with Garcia at a table with margarita glasses. Rubio mocked the cozy meeting: “We deported gang members — including the one you had a margarita with.”
Van Hollen whined about “due process” for the gang suspect. But Rubio shot back with facts. He called Garcia a “human trafficker” and “gangbanger” who belongs behind bars. The Secretary of State vowed evidence would soon prove the man’s crimes. Conservatives know: weak borders invite predators.
The Maryland Democrat tried to shame Rubio for enforcing laws. Van Hollen claimed he “regretted” voting to confirm Rubio. The Secretary immediately fired back: “Your regret confirms I’m doing a good job.” Patriots across America cheered. Leaders should protect citizens, not coddle criminals.
El Salvador’s president ridiculed Van Hollen’s trip online. He posted photos of the meeting with the caption “miraculously risen from death camps… sipping margaritas.” Even foreign leaders see the left’s hypocrisy. Democrats side with lawbreakers over police and border agents.
Rubio made it clear: no judge can force him to help illegal immigrants return. He refuses to let activists sabotage deportation efforts. America’s safety comes first. The Trump administration removed violent gang members to keep neighborhoods secure.
Van Hollen’s stunt backfired spectacularly. Instead of looking compassionate, he appeared naive and reckless. MS-13 butchers innocent Americans. Democrats would rather defend thugs than support ICE and Border Patrol. Rubio’s toughness is exactly what this nation needs.
The clash proves conservatives are right on border security. Strong leaders like Rubio put Americans first. Weak politicians like Van Hollen make deals with gang members. November can’t come soon enough to drain the swamp for good.
