Illegal Immigrants Get the Message That Democrats Don't

Rapid Response

President Trump promised to close America's southern border, deport illegal immigrants, and Make America Safe Again — and he's keeping  his promise. This message is so simple that even illegal immigrants understand it.

  • Under President Trump, border catch-and-release has dropped  99.9% from the worst Biden month. 
  • Illegal border crossings hit a new low  in March, with Border Patrol agents encountering just 7,181 illegal immigrants – a 95% decrease from 2024, a 96% decrease from 2023, and a 97% decrease from 2022.
  • Mexican cartel operatives say they are “genuinely” fearful “for the first time in years” because of President Trump’s policies.

But guess who doesn't get the message? Democrats in Congress. The left is so far gone, they're desperate to import the dangerous criminals that have already been removed from the country.

  • Last week, Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen travelled to El Salvador in hopes of bringing an MS-13 wife-beater back into the United States. 
  • Yesterday, a group of House Democrats made the same trek  in hopes of bringing the wife-beating gang member back. 

President Trump's immigration policy is simple - do not enter the United States illegally. The American people support it. Illegal immigrants fear it. It's just Democrats who are having a hard time wrapping their head around it. Maybe they should explain to voters  why they want to bring back criminal illegals so badly.
