While Americans are watching the border crisis spiral out of control and while hardworking TSA and Border Patrol agents wait for a paycheck, what is the Senate doing? Absolutely nothing. With the Department of Homeland Security on the brink and the country vulnerable, the Senate’s idea of leadership is to bang a gavel in a near-empty chamber, shrug, and head out for Easter recess. Apparently, taking a vacation is more important than securing our borders or protecting the American people.
The House actually had a bill on the table—one that would have kept DHS open and made sure ICE got the funding to do its job. But the so-called “leaders” in the Senate couldn’t be bothered. Sure, they could have moved the bill forward with unanimous consent. But Democrats had their human shield standing at the ready—one senator prepared to block anything that might actually help Americans or enforce our immigration laws.
Let’s call this what it is: Democrats will shut down anything and everything if it means they can keep illegal aliens protected. Airports in chaos, security at risk, government workers left twisting in the wind—it’s all just collateral damage in their crusade against border enforcement. All the left cares about is keeping the border wide open for anyone who wants to pour in, no matter the cost to American safety.
Why is it that Democrats always seem to find a way to muscle through their leftist policies, even when they don’t have enough votes? But when it’s time for Republicans to fight for law and order, the answer is always “wait your turn.” Republicans need to stop playing nice. The American people didn’t elect them to play by Washington’s rules—they elected them to stand strong, protect this country, and put Americans first.
If Democrats want to play political games with our security, that’s on them. But the GOP cannot afford to sit on its hands. The border won’t secure itself—and Americans can’t wait for these self-serving politicians to come back from vacation. Are Senate Republicans finally going to fight for this country, or do they think the American people are just going to sit quietly while the left tears down what’s left of our sovereignty?
