A heated clash unfolded as CNN’s Dana Bash pressed Senator Chris Van Hollen about whether he asked illegal immigrant Kilmar Ábrego García about MS-13 ties. Van Hollen dodged repeatedly, refusing to give a straight answer. This evasion highlights the left’s dangerous habit of putting political correctness over public safety.
Ábrego García, an El Salvadoran national, entered the U.S. illegally and claimed persecution fears to avoid deportation. Despite a court order blocking his removal, the Biden administration tried shipping him back anyway. Now he’s stuck in a Salvadoran prison while American taxpayers foot the bill for this legal circus.
The Supreme Court recently blasted the administration’s handling of this case as a lawless “oversight.” Even liberal justices agree the government broke its own rules. Yet Democrats keep making excuses for border crossers while ordinary Americans suffer the consequences of unchecked migration.
Van Hollen’s refusal to address MS-13 suspicions speaks volumes. MS-13 is a savage gang that’s infiltrated communities nationwide thanks to weak borders. Asking basic vetting questions shouldn’t be controversial – it’s common sense. But today’s Democrats would rather protect illegal immigrants than protect citizens.
The media plays along with this charade. Instead of grilling Democrats on security failures, outlets like CNN attack anyone demanding accountability. They’ve become mouthpieces for open-border activists, smearing concerned citizens as “xenophobic” while neighborhoods get overrun.
This isn’t just about one illegal immigrant. It’s about a broken system that rewards lawbreakers and punishes taxpayers. While the left cries about “compassion,” they ignore the victims of gang violence, overdoses, and crimes committed by those who shouldn’t be here.
Conservatives want orderly immigration that puts Americans first. We support legal pathways for those who respect our laws. But Democrats keep pushing mass amnesty and sanctuary cities, creating magnets for chaos. Their policies have turned every town into a border town.
Until we secure the border and enforce existing laws, these disasters will continue. It’s time to stop coddling criminals and start protecting our communities. The American people deserve leadership that prioritizes their safety over woke virtue signaling.
