In a massive win for America’s safety and sovereignty, the U.S. Border Patrol scored a big victory by shutting down a highly sophisticated drug smuggling tunnel between Mexico and California. Such underground routes have been the go-to for criminals looking to flood our country with drugs while the Democrats stood by and let chaos reign at our border. With this tunnel closure, it’s clear we’re finally putting America first again by cracking down on the open-door policy that invited such lawlessness during the Biden administration.
While the tunnel’s complexity speaks volumes about the lengths these criminals are willing to go, it also shines a light on the negligence of previous leadership. Under Biden’s watch, drug-related deaths skyrocketed, indirectly fueled by the border crisis. The numbers don’t lie. Over 72,700 Americans died from fentanyl overdoses in 2023. Coincidence? Hardly. It’s the consequence of a lax border policy that treated national security like an afterthought.
Acting Chief Patrol Agent Jeffrey D. Stalnaker and his courageous team unearthed a tunnel stretching almost 3,000 feet, equipped with the kind of infrastructure you would expect from a Hollywood set. Lighting systems, ventilation, and tracks for moving drugs—all signs of a sophisticated operation too powerful to tackle without real leadership. With Trump back in office, the Border Patrol is now empowered to carry out its duty uncompromised. Imagine that, a federal agency allowed to do what it was trained for!

The discovery of the tunnel proves that when you tighten the reins at the border, you push these bad actors into riskier ventures. And now, they’re getting caught. The tunnel’s entrance was found in a house south of the border, hidden under newly laid tile—a testament to the craftiness of our adversaries. But when faced with stern leadership, even the most cunning schemes crumble.
Democrats need to take note: this is what real border security looks like. Instead of promoting policies that invite chaos, maybe it’s time for them to admit that the Trump administration’s strict border policies work. Here’s a rhetorical question for liberals still pushing their failed agenda—how many more lives need to be destroyed before admitting that their border policies are a disaster?
