Democrats Stumped by El Salvador Prison Deal for Migrants

The Democrats have mastered the art of debating from the sidelines, tossing out a classic quip whenever Republicans suggest cracking down on illegal immigration. They love to ask, “Where are you going to put all these criminals while processing them?” It’s almost like asking a magician where he hides the rabbits. But now, thanks to the Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele, there’s an answer that will undoubtedly leave their heads spinning. The location? El Salvador’s mega-prison, lovingly referred to as CECOT. Imagine that.

In a recent announcement, Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlighted a deal struck with Bukele, emphasizing that El Salvador is ready to take in not just dangerous criminals crossing our borders but also good ol’ American felons. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill diplomatic chat; this is an “extraordinary migratory agreement” that makes swapping criminals across borders sound like a bizarre game of international kickball. As the Biden administration struggles with a border crisis, Bukele’s prison proposal is the perfect plot twist—one that the left is unlikely to appreciate.

For years, other countries have shown reluctance to take back their ruffians. Countries like Cuba and Venezuela are prime examples, as they would rather play legal limbo than accept their own citizens. However, this bold move by Bukele is making waves, not just for its unique approach but also for the practicality behind it. With a prison capacity stretching up to 40,000, the facility currently holds around 15,000 inmates, meaning it’s not just a crowded summer camp; it’s a well-equipped fortress for those who need to be offloaded and ideally never heard from again.

Democrats, however, are already tying themselves in knots over legality and ethics. The concern arises whether U.S. citizens can even be sent to prisons abroad. While they whip out legal jargon, one can’t help but ask: why are American prisoners even a part of this discussion? The focus should be on the unfurling reality of sending back violent criminals who pose a risk to American communities. Meanwhile, the ethical implications raise eyebrows—after all, Bukele’s crackdown on crime has led to a steep drop in violence that has made El Salvador less of a lawless sanctuary and more of a fortress against disorder.

Critics on the left claim this deal is barbaric. They gnash their teeth over the human rights issues that mouthpiece academics love to discuss, insisting El Salvador is far from holiday resort status. Yet these same critics seem to forget that the top concern should be the safety of American citizens. If nations choose to ignore their own criminals, they have a responsibility to accept the consequences of such choices. The real question is—why won’t countries like Cuba or Venezuela play ball? They’ve made their beds; now, they can lie in them while we find cleaner, strategically outsourced options that support the rule of law in the U.S.

This new deal certainly doesn’t solve all the immigration issues facing the U.S., but it’s a step away from the incessant cycle of catch-and-release programs that have plagued American policy for far too long. America voted for the rule of law, and with creative solutions like this, it seems that the overwhelming flow of illegal immigration is about to meet its match. As they say, there’s no such thing as a free lunch—unless, of course, you’re an illegal immigrant contemplating a vacation behind bars in El Salvador. And if this radical move continues to gain momentum, it may just have Democrats asking themselves whether they prefer a cheeky prison in Central America or the comforting embrace of good old American justice.
