Rob Finnerty cut through the political spin this week by spotlighting a glaring truth: many leading Democrats once championed strict deportation and employer-sanction policies that they now loudly oppose. Conservatives watching aren’t surprised — this is the same party that shifted from law-and-order rhetoric to open-border posturing when it suited their political aims.
The historical record is crystal clear: presidents and prominent Democrats have, at different moments, called for deportations, tougher employer penalties, and stronger border security. Bill Clinton’s 1995 State of the Union warned about illegal immigration’s strain on jobs and services, and the Clinton era produced some of the toughest immigration laws in recent memory. Barack Obama’s administration also oversaw large numbers of removals while framing enforcement as targeting criminals first, not families.
Hillary Clinton and other Democratic figures similarly urged stricter employer sanctions, physical barriers, and enforcement measures in prior years, even as party rhetoric has softened in the activist era. Those past positions didn’t disappear because the facts changed — they were shelved for political convenience. Americans should judge politicians by what they do, not just by what they say in campaign season.
On Finnerty’s show, conservative guests and commentators hammered the hypocrisy of the left’s sudden outrage over deportations that their own leaders once endorsed. Newsmax contributors highlighted recent theatrics — lawmakers and activists staging confrontations with ICE while demanding the agency be abolished — as proof that the Democrat base has moved from border enforcement to reflexive obstruction. This isn’t principled compassion; it’s political theater designed to appease activists and expand a future voter pool.
Finnerty didn’t stop at flashbacks; he pressed officials about current policy, asking whether enforcement tools and pause lists would expand to restore order at the border. DHS officials on his program signaled a renewed emphasis on safeguarding American communities and tightening immigration flows, a confirmation that enforcement remains the only reliable path to secure borders. Conservatives should applaud any administration that keeps its promise to protect citizens first.
The larger lesson is a simple one: the political class can pivot overnight, but the consequences of lax immigration are long-term and borne by everyday Americans. Families, law enforcement, and taxpayers pay the price when ideology trumps common sense and sovereignty. It’s time for patriots to demand consistency — not shifting slogans — and to insist that enforcement, not excuses, is the core of responsible immigration policy.
If voters want safety, jobs, and the rule of law, they must remember which leaders actually stand for those things when the cameras are off. Rob Finnerty did the job the mainstream media won’t: he reminded Americans that the left’s current softness on deportations is a choice, not an inevitability, and that accountability at the ballot box is the remedy.
