Trump's Best Line of Tuesday's Speech Exposed Dems' Garbage Spin on the Border Crisis

On Tuesday morning, we published a piece demonstrating how Democrats' go-to border crisis talking point throughout the 2024 campaign was a false, cynical dodge.  They said new legislation was needed to reverse the historic invasion of their own making, while many of us made the obvious counterpoint that all the Biden administration really had to do was simply un-cancel many successful Trump-era policies and start enforcing the law aggressively.  Democrats pretended that because a fatally-flawed Senate bill was defeated, with Trump in opposition, their hands were tied.  Trump, they claimed, didn't really want to solve the problem.  Then he won, and immediately solved the problem -- without new legislation.  Border encounters fell 96 percent last month, compared to the previous February, a virtual erasure of the crisis.  

Trump highlighted this point very succinctly in Tuesday's Join Session Address, thrilling Republicans, as stone-faced Democrats sat in seething silence, as they did all night:


The border piece of the puzzle is not permanently solved, and more security measures must be implemented for sustainability in the longer term.  Congress certainly has a role there.  But much of the illegal immigration-related challenge now flows from the popular and necessary push to deport legions of illegal immigrants who are already here, millions of whom are new arrivals, including far too many criminals.  The leaders of lawless and pro-illegal immigration 'sanctuary' jurisdictions were grilled on Capitol Hill yesterday.  Their admissions and delusions were telling:


Boston's Mayor, last heard from lavishing condolences upon a knife-wielding maniac who was shot by an off-duty cop, boasted "we don't ask about immigration status, that's how we keep our city safe."  Tell that to the many victims of violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants in Beantown, where criminal aliens are actively shielded from accountability.  Denver's Mayor, who once suggested local police would be ordered to actively combat federal immigration enforcement, plead ignorance on disgraceful scenes in his city:


“This is the first time I’ve been made aware of that there’s been an incident like this," the mayor claimed.  Why have sensible and uneventful handovers of criminal illegal immigrants to ICE within the secure confines of jails when these criminals can be released into the streets, forcing federal officers to chase them down in public?  Sanctuary policies are dangerous and insane.  I'll leave you with this:
