Chris Salcedo didn’t mince words on his program Friday, accusing Democratic leaders of putting political ideology ahead of the safety of American kids by opposing swift removal of illegal aliens. He argued that when push comes to shove, Democrats will side with open-border activists rather than with families who expect the government to enforce the law and protect children’s lives.
That isn’t just hot talk on cable — it’s the real consequence of sanctuary policies championed by many Democratic mayors, who have defended limits on cooperation with federal enforcement even as their cities strain under migrant surges. Conservatives rightly point out that when local leaders refuse to work with federal authorities, the result is legal chaos, overcrowded shelters, and decisions made by bureaucrats and activists instead of rule-of-law professionals.
Meanwhile, Republican governors have been forced to move migrants out of overwhelmed border towns, sometimes sending busloads to Democratic-run cities that once proudly touted themselves as safe harbors. That busing fight revealed a painful truth: Democrats talk compassion, but they refuse to shoulder the costs or responsibility once their policies are forced to produce real outcomes.
There’s also real danger for children in the political tug-of-war. The debate over immigration enforcement at schools and other child-centered sites has politicians posturing while parents and educators scramble to protect students from confusion and lawlessness. When enforcement is politicized rather than managed responsibly, vulnerable kids end up paying the price — and conservatives are raising the alarm that Democrats’ resistance to effective enforcement fuels that risk.
The solution is not political theater — it’s enforcement. Recent federal data show that stepped-up measures can and do reduce illegal crossings when implemented consistently, proving the hard-line approach conservatives demand actually works to protect communities and children alike. If we want fewer broken families, fewer dangerous traffickers, and fewer minors exposed to harm, we need border integrity, not excuses.
That’s why Republican voices on Newsmax and elsewhere aren’t backing down, calling out Democrats for choosing politics over public safety and insisting on deporting criminals and restoring order. These aren’t fringe complaints — they reflect the frustration of everyday Americans who want their kids safe, their neighborhoods secure, and their laws enforced without partisan double standards.
If Washington truly cared about children, lawmakers would stop grandstanding and start backing policies that protect them: secure the border, cooperate with local enforcement, and ensure that every migration decision is governed by law and common sense. The American people deserve leaders who will defend our kids first — not politicians who use vulnerable children as props in a failing open-borders experiment.
