(This is a great step towards what most of us voted for.)
President Trump went on a fiery late-night tirade in clear response to the recent terrorist attack on the National Guard, announcing a significant crackdown on immigration from all third-world countries, terminating all illegal entries into the country under the Biden administration, and declaring the only way to save America now is through "reverse migration."
Trump's screed comes in the wake of an ambush attack on two members of the Guard in Washington, D.C., and just hours after the President made the heartbreaking announcement to the nation that one of the victims, 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, had succumbed to her injuries.
The individual behind the heinous attack was 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who initially entered the United States on a temporary visa issued to him in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, a program designed to coordinate the resettlement of Afghan nationals in the aftermath of former President Biden's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Trump's comments bear the hallmarks of the incredibly blunt, candid leader we've come to expect. Sarcasm runs throughout, as he begins his message but what follows, however, is a man who perfectly encapsulates the raw emotions we all feel when an entirely preventable tragedy unfolds before our eyes.
Trump argues that the immigration system is overwhelmed, something that has been obvious for decades. He contends that the system reached a breaking point under the previous administration when the country was run by a shadow team wielding an autopen as if a sword to the neck of the American people. And he points out that they, the American people, have put up with this for far too long.
Trump suggests that he would now speak for the people, pointing out that he is not the type to hold back.
While some will get lost in the jabs at Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) (and by some, we mean the media, who will do their best to run a diversion for the DNC by taking the focus off the main message) and her "swaddling hijab," or his portrayal of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) as "retarded," Trump delivers one of the most potent messages he's ever given.
He's not playing around. Trump perfectly conveys talking points that have rightly angered the American people when it comes to the failures of the immigration system and the obvious effort to prioritize people coming into the country over those already here.
It can be argued about how the President might implement such policies, sure. There will no doubt be massive pushback from Democrats and milquetoast Republicans alike.
One can argue what constitutes a "permanent pause" as well. But the reality is, there needs to be some pause. There needs to be a fix. And if Congress isn't going to do something, President Trump is. We must rein in the system before it swallows the country as a whole.
