In a bold move that has liberals clutching their pearls, President Trump recently presided over the grand opening of a new immigrant detention center in Florida, colloquially dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” This center aims to address the tidal wave of issues left in the wake of the Biden-Harris administration. With the border crisis being as thrilling as a soap opera, it’s about time something was done to curb illegal immigration. Thanks to work from leaders like Trump, Governor Kristi Noem, and Governor Ron DeSantis, there’s finally light at the end of this tunnel.
President Trump made a spectacle of his return to Florida. With the charm of a veteran showman, he outlined the administration’s plan to counteract what he dubbed as the “Biden Migration Variation.” There’s a sentiment that, despite what the liberal media rants about, the careful and tough efforts by this administration are to ensure a balance in the budget and to manage who walks the American streets. Trump’s detailed knowledge of the border situation starkly contrasts with Kamala Harris’s apparent reluctance or inability to even engage with the issues faced by border patrol officers.
In the meantime, CNN made the headlines again, or at least tried to, with an app that provides users with alerts about nearby ICE agents. One might sarcastically ponder if CNN will eventually start developing apps to help search for common sense in their coverage. Despite their half-hearted protests about merely reporting, the app has become a symbol of aiding and abetting those who casually disregard U.S. laws. While the app developer claims it was made to avoid interference with agents, the implication of avoiding those upholding the law seems to rub many conservatives the wrong way.
Numbers speak louder than empty promises, and the statistics here are startling. Alleged assaults on federal and ICE agents have soared by nearly 700% compared to last year. It seems that for Biden’s handlers, having a functioning border is as elusive as a unicorn. While technology can empower, platforms like the ICE alert app seem to encourage a level of disrespect for hard-working agents who put their lives on the line to maintain some semblance of law and order. If aiding illegal activity isn’t a crime, then logic dictates it should be, even if CNN does its best to spin the narrative.
The contrast in the global reception to Trump’s tactics is telling. With changes in immigration enforcement, Central American countries are observing their citizens return home. These governments are finding themselves scrambling to offer opportunities like loans and jobs, motivated by the knowledge that emigrating illegally might jeopardize their chances for future legitimate entry into the U.S. What the opposition sees as heartless policies, others recognize as tough love and a serious call to play by the rules. America’s doors are open to those who follow the rightful path to residency, and the message is crystal clear: come legally, or don’t come at all.
