For years, conservatives have been slammed as fearmongers whenever we said the border was a national security disaster waiting to explode. Yet now, even a former top DHS official admits that President Trump *actually* secured the border better than anyone in recent memory. The facts don’t lie — the numbers at the border are at record lows, something unprecedented compared to the chaotic flood under previous administrations. This isn’t luck or coincidence; it’s the result of tough policies and real enforcement, not the weak-kneed, let-it-all-in approach shoved by the left.
While the current crisis is still alive and kicking thanks to Biden’s open-border madness, it’s telling that even those who once criticized Trump’s methods now begrudgingly give credit where it’s due. This is not some petty political gesture. Jeh Johnson, a Democrat who ran Homeland Security, acknowledged that the low number of illegal border crossings during Trump’s tenure was historic. Not a vague claim — *historic*. Yet, what does the media do with this? They ignore it or spin it into nonsense. Meanwhile, Biden’s border policies have allowed known Iranian terrorists and other dangerous foreign nationals with terrorist ties to sneak in. That’s not just negligence; it’s an existential threat to the American people.
Jeh Johnson: Trump Can Legitimately Say He 'Secured the Border' https://t.co/8BnZm00ZoS

The arrest of Iranian nationals linked to Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard at the border isn’t a minor footnote. It’s a flashing neon sign that tells us exactly what we’re dealing with—radical elements exploiting our system to undermine us from within. The fact that these arrests happened under current administration watch should alarm every patriot. But surprise, surprise—there’s little outrage. Instead, we hear officials claim it’s a “law enforcement issue.” Of course it is! But who set the stage for this mess by ending effective border enforcement and welcoming criminals and terrorists through the gates? The Biden administration did, and they get a free pass because they clad themselves in the cloak of “compassion.”
Here’s the kicker: even Johnson, a Democrat deep in the swamp, sees Trump’s potential to push comprehensive immigration reform. He says Trump has a unique chance to unite Republicans and Democrats on fixing the broken system. Maybe that’s true, but it depends if Trump wants to play that game with Washington’s swamp rats who profited from the chaos and illegal border rush. Conservatives know better than to trust these Washington insiders to truly protect American sovereignty. Immigration reform must mean one thing: secure the border first, enforce the law second, and then talk about fixing the system. Unfortunately, too many on the left want open borders disguised as “reform.”
Let’s be clear: the border is about more than just numbers. It’s about safety, national security, and the rule of law. The moment we allow terrorists, drug cartels, and criminal gangs free rein, we lose everything that makes this country exceptional. Trump secured the border when given the chance — a fact that should put the lie to the liberal media’s endless fear-mongering about his “inhumanity.” The real threat is the current occupant of the White House and his refusal to secure the border or acknowledge the danger. America deserves better. So here’s the question: how long will Americans tolerate a government that puts the lives of terrorists over the lives of American citizens?
