In recent years, Americans have been told time and time again that their borders are secure and closed, but recent events suggest otherwise. It’s becoming painfully clear that such claims were less about reality and more about placating voters. Sadly, some people, like Kristi Noem, had to face the dire consequences of this misinformation firsthand. Her family temporarily moved into military housing due to serious threats arising from a media leak of her personal residential details. The fuss is striking, isn’t it? All this while she still pays rent on an apartment she no longer feels safe living in.
It seems the media and certain politicians have an uncanny ability to support criminals and illegal immigrants, putting them above law-abiding citizens. In an era where some mainstream outlets prioritize clickbait and sensationalism, it becomes difficult to comprehend why they consistently fall short in protecting American citizens and instead extend their sympathies to those who enter the country illegally. It’s almost as if following the law has become a less trendy option for them.
Take for instance, the tragedy Governor Newsom’s policies have nurtured, which contributed to the loss of three innocent lives. While families mourn, the silence from high-ranking officials, particularly Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, concerning these tragic deaths is deafening. It’s baffling why some leaders remain unresponsive to the victims’ families while their attention drifts elsewhere, perhaps to more sympathetic custodians of illegals who regret not receiving pampering during their detainment.
Nonetheless, the Trump administration left a significant mark by enforcing existing laws, actively deporting those who chose to sidestep legal processes and sneak into America. Over 360,000 people were deported, and thankfully, a large proportion of them, who were charged and convicted of crimes, are no longer free to roam the streets. It’s a relief knowing that at least one administration prioritized citizens’ safety over political pandering aimed at expanding voter bases.
While Democrats continue to debate over abolishing ICE or reshaping immigration laws to suit their narratives, states like West Virginia, Ohio, and South Carolina are actively contributing National Guardsmen to protect citizens in Washington D.C. It’s amazing what can happen when crime is actually punished rather than coddled. Major cities feeling safer and displaying a visible reduction in crime is a testament to the success of recent crackdowns. This collaborative spirit across federal and state lines only further underscores a simple truth: enforcing laws works, and safety for law-abiding citizens, finally, might be making a comeback.
