President Trump is exposing the Biden-era immigration debacle that flooded America with nearly 195,000 Afghan evacuees by 2022, granting them instant welfare access and special visas denied to law-abiding citizens and merit-based migrants. These handouts bypassed longstanding rules requiring a five-year wait, turning taxpayer dollars into a red-carpet welcome for unvetted arrivals while grandmothers and protesters face demonization at the border. This favoritism reeks of elite hypocrisy, prioritizing foreign loyalty claims over American workers drowning in inflation and job scarcity.
Afghan visa champions touted translators and “Western value lovers” as deserving saviors, yet their mass exodus left Afghanistan collapsing into Taliban hands, proving the folly of importing unfinished revolutions. Why reward abandonment with benefits when true allies would rebuild their homeland instead of draining U.S. resources? Trump’s merit-first reforms slam this door, demanding proof of value before entry—no more sob stories trumping sovereignty.
Screening scandals underscore the peril: terror-linked arrivals slipped through porous vetting, endangering communities while cartels laughed at open invitations. The left’s “compassion” blinded borders to threats, inflating welfare rolls and housing crises that crush everyday families. Real security means rigorous checks, not virtue-signaling imports that breed resentment and risk.
The 1965 Hart-Celler Act’s family-chain floodgates unleashed third-world influxes that diluted the melting pot, shifting from skilled Europeans to welfare-dependent masses. Trump’s agenda restores balance with work visas for talent, slashing chain migration to prioritize economic contributors over burdens. This isn’t xenophobia—it’s prudence, ensuring newcomers bolster prosperity rather than bankrupt it.
America’s opportunity shines brightest when earned through grit, not giveaway visas that mock self-reliance. Trump’s crackdown reclaims the American Dream from globalist giveaways, demanding immigrants assimilate and achieve like generations before. In this saga, strength over sentiment secures the nation’s future against the absurdities of unchecked largesse.
