Once again, the Senate has shown Americans exactly where its priorities lie, and it’s not with the safety and security of our borders. Senators found the time and energy to approve more money for the TSA—those airport security lines everyone loves—but when it came to funding ICE, they slammed the door shut. Law-abiding citizens are left scratching their heads, wondering why the government would rather pay for more bureaucrats to pat down grandma at the airport than for brave men and women who actually stop dangerous criminals from crossing our borders.
Democrats, led by their king of hypocrisy Chuck Schumer, are dancing with joy. Apparently, keeping illegal aliens out is just too “rogue” for them, but harassing citizens at the airport gets a rubber stamp and a blank check. Liberals scream about protecting “the vulnerable” and ensuring “security,” but when it’s time to give ICE the tools to actually do that job, they suddenly become penny-pinchers. Why is stopping illegal drugs, human trafficking, and criminals considered “controversial,” but confiscating grandma’s shampoo is somehow “justice”?
Let’s not kid ourselves—this isn’t about “serious reform.” That’s just code for open borders and cheap labor for their globalist buddies in Silicon Valley and at their Wall Street cocktail parties. Democrats want to gut any actual enforcement of our immigration laws because their base demands it. They won’t rest until our borders are wide open and ICE is just another toothless agency crippled by red tape and leftist lawsuits.
Meanwhile, hardworking American taxpayers are expected to foot the bill for liberals’ grandstanding. Inner cities flooded with drugs and crime? Liberals look away. ICE agents forced to do more with less, risking their lives every day? All the so-called compassionate Democrats do is lecture about reform and release press statements blaming the last administration for their own failures.
Who benefits when ICE can’t get the funding to do its job? Certainly not working-class families trying to keep their neighborhoods safe. The only winners here are the radical left, the open borders crowd, and every criminal who knows the Senate just hung up a welcome sign at the border. Is this the America voters signed up for or just the one Democrats want to force on the rest of us?
