In the high-stakes game of political chess that is the 2024 election cycle, President Biden’s administration has decided to wake from its slumber regarding illegal immigration and the overwhelming border crisis. The problem? It’s about as effective as a rooster crowing at sunset—far too late and entirely too optimistic.
The GOP members of the House Committee on Homeland Security have waxed prophetic, estimating that by the end of fiscal year 2024, the Biden administration will have overseen a staggering ten million encounters with illegal immigrants at the southern border. When catch-and-release becomes standard operating procedure and immigration courts are drowning in dubious asylum claims, it ceases to be a mere crisis—it morphs into an all-out catastrophe. A border crisis on steroids, wielding chaos as its primary weapon.

Enter President-elect Donald Trump, who has plans to wield legal authority far more effectively than during his first term. The strategy involves deploying military forces to take decisive action against those who have entered the U.S. unlawfully and to staunch the migration bleeding. This isn’t just a campaign promise; it’s a political lifeline that resonates with an exhausted electorate fed up with open-border policies that threaten to turn America into a demographic experiment.
Public sentiment is unmistakably in favor. While the popular vote sounds nominal at this point (unless voters trade it in for a premium cup of coffee), Trump has racked up an astounding 312 electoral votes, a clear signal that his message about securing the border has hit home hard. Democrats, recognizing the gravity of the situation, are entering full panic mode, grasping at straws as they try to salvage their previous stance on immigration.
In a recent CNN panel discussion, liberal firebrand Paul Rieckhoff inadvertently disclosed the Democrats’ playbook: do whatever it takes to make enforcing immigration laws as painful and complicated as possible. He even drew ludicrous parallels between military enforcement of border laws and the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, unsurprisingly failing to mention that the individuals in question aren’t protected citizens but illegal aliens. By Rieckhoff’s logic, every step to assert the rule of law is akin to a historical atrocity—which, let’s be honest, is a stretch that would win medals for gymnastics.
Despite left-leaning commentators’ attempts to muddy the waters, conservative voices such as Scott Jennings are clarifying what this debate hinges on. He pointed out that there are already millions of illegal immigrants with deportation orders who should be prioritized for removal. However, the opposition seems to thrive on fearmongering rather than pragmatism, suggesting military actions will equate to rounding up innocent American citizens. Meanwhile, the reality is that sanctuary cities are lining up to protect criminals among the illegal population, deliberately rejecting the widespread American appetite for lawful immigration practices.
It’s clear that the Democratic strategy rests on a simple foundation: make the enforcement of immigration laws a nightmare scenario that no one would want to deal with. After all, why prioritize lawfulness when you can create an environment of chaos that suits your open-border ideals? This isn’t about finding middle ground; this is about weaponizing law enforcement to protect the right to illegal immigration as if it were a revered doctrine.
One thing is certain—the left’s encroachment won’t stop at state and local resistance. As Trump’s military strategy unfolds, it will be met with concerted opposition from a party that has willingly lost touch with the American public’s desire for a secure border. The left’s unyielding refusal to acknowledge the will of their constituents may very well lead to a definitive shift in how immigration is discussed and enforced in America.
