Under the watchful eye of the Biden administration, an unfortunate consequence of lax asylum laws has emerged: illegal immigration has skyrocketed. It seems that liberal activists have crafted an elaborate guide for migrants on how to take advantage of a porous system. With Trump in the Oval Office, a firm grip on the border had been established, making illegal crossings an exercise in futility. Now, it’s time for a serious rethink on immigration policy, but there’s a significant hurdle lurking in the shadows—the Democratic Party.
Senator Bernie Moreno from Ohio is stepping up to the plate with a proposal known as the Refugees Using Legal Entry Safely (RULES) Act, aimed at tightening those asylum laws that have become a welcome mat for illegal aliens. This initiative comes when there’s an urgent need to close loopholes in a system that has been gamed far too long by those looking to undermine American sovereignty.
The RULES Act offers a straightforward approach to the chaos. First, it mandates that asylum seekers file their applications only at legal ports of entry—no more sneaking in through the back door. Second, it would stop the practice of letting asylum applicants roam free in the U.S. while their cases are processed, a system that has effectively imported chaos. Third, if someone is denied asylum once, they can’t come back for a second bite at the apple. Lastly, it closes the door entirely for anyone caught living illegally in the country to claim asylum in the future. Sounds logical, right? Apparently, that’s not a sentiment shared by Senate Democrats.

The bill was swiftly blocked by the ever-enthusiastic Senate Democrats, with Senator Mazie Hirono of Hawaii leading the charge. She wields her position like a shield, proudly proclaiming that she once helped craft a bipartisan immigration reform bill back in 2013—an effort that has since gone down in history as an abysmal failure. After tossing around her talking points, Hirono struggled to cover her tracks and ended up sounding like a broken record. Meanwhile, the 2013 bill is viewed by many as a disaster, and the idea that Hirono is somehow a champion of comprehensive reform is laughable at best.
Moreno’s impassioned plea on the Senate floor reflects the fundamental values Americans hold dear. He recounted his family’s journey to the U.S., noting that they sought out opportunities to build a better future. With nearly ten million encounters at the southern border over the last four years under Biden’s watch, Moreno emphasized that the current situation represents an utter disgrace, not just in numbers but in the very way this country welcomes newcomers. His call for reform resonates with the dreams of many who came here to contribute, not to exploit a system that clearly needs better enforcement.
The standoff between progressive obstructionists and those advocating for consolidated immigration reform highlights the rift in American political discourse. The RULES Act represents a beacon of hope for conservatives who believe in a system that values legal immigration, national security, and the American way of life. Meanwhile, Democrats continue to cling to their outdated strategies, leaving many to wonder if they will ever prioritize the safety and stability of their own country.
