Democrats are at it again, folks. In a desperate attempt to strong-arm a sovereign nation, they’re trying to force El Salvador to send back an MS-13 member, Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, to the U.S. And how do they plan to do this? By telling the world to skip visiting El Salvador, a country that’s clawed its way back from violence and hopelessness to become a thriving tourist destination. Democrats are throwing a toddler tantrum, and they don’t mind stomping on the progress of a hardworking nation to get their way.
El Salvador, once plagued by rampant gang violence, is now one of the safest places to visit. Thanks to its bold leader, Nayib Bukele, the country has transformed its image. Through decisive action, crime has plummeted, and tourists are pouring in. This success story is exactly what Democrats seem hell-bent on reversing. Maryland Senator Van Hollen is out there telling folks to take their tourism dollars elsewhere, hoping to cripple El Salvador’s economy until they submit to Democratic demands.
Can we talk about the hypocrisy for a second? Democrats claim to be champions of the downtrodden, yet they’re willing to sabotage El Salvador’s economic recovery. They push for policies that gut foreign countries of their labor force, and now, they’re meddling in international tourism. It’s classic Democrat behavior — act tough on others while their own backyard remains in disarray. And let’s not even get started on the ill-conceived practice of draining countries of their young and able, then having the gall to point fingers.
Democrats' New Scheme to Bully El Salvador Into Sending MS-13 Gangbanger Garcia Back to U.S.https://t.co/uHIOtKiBnL

Meanwhile, liberal leaders like Illinois Governor Pritzker are threatening boycotts and trade reviews against El Salvador. Why? Because a nation dared not toe the Democrat line. Democrats’ bully tactics are an overreach, plain and simple, and it boils down to their need to control. They preach globalism, yet they’ll flex their muscles to crush a small nation’s bid for prosperity if it defies their agenda.
It’s outrageous that Democrats would prioritize political power plays over common sense diplomacy. The people of El Salvador deserve better. Their strides should be applauded, not punished. Maybe it’s time for these liberal elites to take a page from Bukele’s playbook: focus on achieving real results instead of spreading chaos. At the end of the day, the question the Democrats leave us with is simple: how many more thriving success stories will they work to dismantle in their relentless quest for control?
