In recent headlines, a significant development has unfolded on the issue of border security with President Trump at the helm. The President, with his well-known straight-shooting style, has managed to make strides on an issue that underpinned much of his electoral success back in 2016. It’s clear why so many voters placed their faith in him to tackle the matter of illegal immigration, and once again he’s stepping up to the plate. Trump zeroed in on a substantial achievement—reducing illegal crossings from staggering numbers in previous years to virtually none in May of 2025. Impressive would be an understatement.
This success is being furthered by the construction of new facilities designed to efficiently process and deport illegal immigrants. And these aren’t just any facilities, by the way; they are lined up to take root in states like Louisiana and Alabama, with an almost military precision. This is where governors like Ron DeSantis from Florida step into the picture, bolstering these efforts with their own state-led initiatives. It’s about states lending a hand in what has traditionally been a federal responsibility, a move that symbolizes a rare cooperative spirit when it comes to safeguarding borders. Delightfully ironical, isn’t it? Other states arguing about resources while these roll up their sleeves.
Meanwhile, the narrative that these centers are merely inhumane holding pens gets thwarted by eyewitness accounts of diapers, water, and basic amenities aplenty until deportation details are settled. Clearly, this makes for a stark contrast to the picture some critics like to paint, one where the human condition is supposedly disregarded. These centers are not just practical; they are primed to ensure those criminals—as they indisputably are—are sent back to where they belong.
Despite all this progress, critics still manage to harp on about the supposed rights of these individuals, completely disregarding the devastation brought upon American families due to crimes committed by illegal immigrants. It’s almost as if they think chanting “but, but, but” somehow changes the fact that these are not innocent day trippers, but lawbreakers. This is about the safety of American citizens—protecting our own and ensuring that law and order take precedence. Perhaps an inconvenient truth for some, but when did inconvenient truths ever stop reality from running its course?
President Trump’s approach is not just about putting up walls or facilities; it’s about transparency and efficacy. He has made it painstakingly clear—there will be no hiding what’s happening. The strategy is straightforward and the execution methodical. Those who cheated their way into the promise of American citizenship, disseminating child abuse materials, for instance, will be exposed and expelled. The message is resounding: Living in the United States is a privilege, not an inalienable right. If the shoe fits, as they say, we expect them to wear it—perhaps on their way out, that is.
