Patrick Thaw, a student from the University of Michigan, embarked on an incredible opportunity abroad, only to find himself stranded in Singapore. Why? Because of President Trump’s travel ban, a wise move to protect American interests, inadvertently complicated. Ann Arbor’s classrooms buzzed with new ideas as Thaw connected only digitally, a victim of the unintended consequences of policy meant to shield our homeland.
Let’s be clear: The travel ban was necessary. It prioritized American safety over unchecked globalism. But this incident with Thaw exposes liberal hypocrisy. Leftists scream about discrimination, yet hold the door wide open for radical elements threatening our safety. Instead of addressing the real issues, they harp on singular stories like Thaw’s, twisting them into a saga of oppression rather than championing the greater good for all Americans.

Thaw’s story is sad, but it’s one strand in a massive web woven to uphold security. Liberals are more interested in emotional appeals than facts. They focus on outliers while ignoring the thousands whose lives have been bettered by stricter immigration controls. Conveniently forgotten are the middle Americans and hardworking families protected from foreign harm.
What about personal responsibility? Thaw chose to travel. Choices made in the name of career advancement come with risks and consequences. Adventure can’t mean endangering national stability. It’s time we stopped coddling every student or traveler who faces an inconvenience abroad and started celebrating policies that protect our borders and shield our citizens.
In the end, the story of Thaw isn’t about a ban; it’s about balance. Balancing opportunity with safety. The question is, will we let left-leaning narratives dictate our policies, or will we double down in defense of American sovereignty? Ask yourself, which side of the fence do you stand on?
