Senator Chris Van Hollen just admitted what conservatives have been saying all along — your tax dollars are funding political theater for illegal immigrants. The Maryland Democrat flew to El Salvador to visit Kilmar Ábrego García, an alleged MS-13 member deported after overstaying his visa. Van Hollen’s belated confession about using public money for this junket proves Democrats care more about criminals than citizens.
While American families struggle with inflation, Van Hollen wasted taxpayer cash visiting a man multiple courts labeled a threat. The Trump administration deported García after an anonymous tip linked him to MS-13’s brutal activities. Democrats suddenly care about “due process” for gang affiliates but stay silent when illegals attack police or overdose children with fentanyl.
El Salvador’s president publicly mocked Van Hollen’s stunt, posting photos of García sipping margaritas instead of rotting in the “torture chambers” Democrats falsely described. Foreign leaders are laughing at America’s weakness as open-border politicians prioritize lawbreakers over national security. Meanwhile, border states drown under cartel violence and overdose deaths.
Van Hollen whined about “administrative errors” in García’s deportation but ignores the real crisis — thousands of dangerous illegals released into neighborhoods under Biden’s policies. Over 150 Americans are killed monthly by illegal immigrants, yet Democrats lecture us about “compassion.” Their idea of fairness? Making taxpayers foot the bill for gang members’ legal teams.
This trip reveals the left’s twisted priorities. They’ll fight to import voters but abandon veterans sleeping on streets. They’ll charter flights for criminals but let middle-class families pay $5 per gallon for gas. They’ll cry over deportation paperwork but block every effort to secure the border.
García isn’t some innocent victim. He violated U.S. laws, overstayed his visa, and faced deportation after multiple chances to fix his status. Democrats want you to believe enforcing immigration rules is “racist” while they party with foreign lawbreakers using your money.
Conservatives demand accountability. If Van Hollen really cared about justice, he’d visit families destroyed by MS-13 machetes and fentanyl traffickers. He’d push to deport violent criminals instead of coddling them. He’d stop treating your wallet like a progressive piggy bank for woke publicity stunts.
Americans see through this charade. November’s election will be a reckoning for politicians who put illegal aliens before citizens. The silent majority is done funding Democrats’ globalist fantasies while our communities burn.
