In a recent congressional hearing about immigration enforcement, Congressman Al Green of Texas delivered a speech that left many Americans shaking their heads. Instead of standing with the brave men and women of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), who risk their lives every day to protect our borders, Green chose to accuse them of abusing women and children during enforcement operations. He claimed these actions were done “under the color of law,” as if to suggest that ICE agents are using their authority to harm innocent people.
Such statements are not just reckless—they are dangerous. These are the same ICE agents who face death threats and live under constant fear because violent drug cartels have placed bounties on their heads. These agents are not the enemy. They are our fellow Americans, doing a difficult and often thankless job to keep our country safe. Yet, instead of supporting them, left-wing politicians like Al Green continue to paint them as villains, while illegal alien criminals are treated like the victims.
This upside-down worldview is part of a bigger problem in our country today. Too many in Washington, especially on the left, have lost sight of what makes America strong—law, order, and respect for those who wear the badge. Instead of backing our agents, they side with lawbreakers. Instead of defending our borders, they defend open borders. It’s no surprise that our immigration system is in crisis when the people charged with upholding it are undermined at every turn.
Watch the shocking moment from the hearing below:
At the same time, former MSNBC host Chris Matthews is sounding the alarm over President Trump’s thoughtful and strategic 28-point peace plan for Ukraine and Russia. Appearing on Morning Joe, Matthews criticized a key part of the plan that would limit NATO troops from being stationed in Ukraine. He seemed deeply concerned that this would prevent American military forces from being placed in the region.
Let’s be clear: President Trump’s peace plan is a bold and practical step toward ending a war that has dragged on for years, cost countless lives, and drained resources that could be better spent at home. While the left would rather keep the war going—funneling billions of dollars overseas in the name of “democracy”—Trump is focused on peace. He’s putting America first, just like he promised.
Matthews and others on the left are worried that the peace deal doesn’t offer guarantees for Ukraine’s defense after the war. But the truth is, America’s first duty is to defend its own people and its own borders. We do not owe endless military support to foreign nations, especially when our own country is under siege—from crime, from drugs, and from illegal immigration.
The left fears peace because peace takes away their power. They would rather see American troops bogged down in another foreign conflict than admit that President Trump’s America First strategy works. They refuse to accept that diplomacy, not endless war, is the path to lasting stability.
Whether it’s attacking our border agents or crying foul over a peace deal, the left continues to show us exactly who they are. They are more interested in scoring political points than securing our borders. They are more concerned with foreign entanglements than American families. It’s high time we return to common sense.
We must support our agents, protect our borders, and pursue peace abroad—not endless war. President Trump is leading the way, and the American people are with him. Let us stand strong, speak truth, and defend the values that made this country great.
