Tears may have been shed at the Republican National Convention, but the message was clear as day: President Biden’s policies are wreaking havoc on American families. Anne Funder stood in the spotlight, fighting through her emotions, as she delivered a scathing indictment of the Commander-in-Chief, blaming him for her son’s tragic fentanyl overdose. Her words resonated deeply with a crowd growing increasingly frustrated with the chaos at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Funder’s heart-wrenching story wasn’t the sole focus. The border crisis stole the show as Republicans highlighted the personal toll of the Biden administration’s lax immigration policies. The Morin family took the stage, mourning the brutal murder of Rachel Morin, a Maryland mother slain on a walking trail. Her death is attributed to an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, spotlighting the grim consequences of open borders. These poignant narratives aren’t mere anecdotes; they’re powerful rebukes of the supposed compassion behind Biden’s open-border stance.

But it didn’t stop there. Funder detailed the tragic loss of her teenage son, Weston, who died after being given fentanyl-laced substances by his peers. She pointed the finger directly at Biden and his border czar, Kamala Harris, holding them accountable for allowing cartels to smuggle deadly drugs across unchecked borders. She also called out California Governor Gavin Newsom and other Democrats for their reckless support of open-door policies. With a plea for action, Funder echoed the sentiment of many, declaring the urgent need for Trump’s return to save American children.
The night was a rallying cry for Trump’s tough-on-immigration policies, which had once led to the lowest illegal immigration rates in 45 years. Senator Ted Cruz took advantage, asserting that Biden’s dereliction of duty is getting Americans killed, assaulted, and raped by illegal immigrants. In a cinematic display, the convention featured dramatic footage of migrants storming the border, interspersed with haunting images of fentanyl overdose victims, all emphasizing the dire situation created by the current administration.
Senator Tom Cotton shared his experiences at the border, recounting conversations with migrants who admitted they came simply because they could under Biden’s lenient policies. Illustrating the stark contrast, Cotton shared the story of Manuel, a legal immigrant and new Trump supporter whose life improved markedly under the former President’s administration.
The Republican National Convention made it clear: Americans are fed up with Biden’s immigration fiasco. With Trump poised for a comeback, the event underscored a return to law and order, border security, and above all, the safety of American families.
