The scene in Washington, D.C., said it all. At a recent weekend rally, Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin proudly declared his party’s allegiance to two pillars of modern left-wing politics: activist judges and open borders. While conservatives fight to restore law and order, Raskin’s comments laid bare the radical priorities of today’s Democrats.
Raskin’s boast came as federal judges appointed by Biden and Obama repeatedly block President Trump’s efforts to deport violent illegal immigrants. Just weeks ago, a D.C. judge ordered midair deportation planes carrying Tren de Aragua gang members to turn back to U.S. soil. These cartel-affiliated criminals, responsible for terrorizing American cities, were welcomed as heroes by El Salvador’s president. Meanwhile, American families pay the price for weak borders and lenient policies.
The Democratic Party’s leadership has fully embraced lawlessness. While moderate voters worry about crime waves and fentanyl deaths, progressives push to dismantle immigration enforcement. House Democrats recently voted against deporting illegal aliens charged with crimes, with radicals like AOC claiming there’s “no coherent message” on border security. Their solution? Amnesty for millions and attacks on ICE officers doing their jobs.
Republicans stand united where Democrats fracture. GOP leaders prioritize securing the border, expanding detention facilities, and supporting deportations of criminal aliens. Legislation requiring proof of citizenship to vote and curtailing judges’ power to block immigration policies passed the House this week. President Trump continues fulfilling his mandate to put America first, despite judicial sabotage from the left.
History shows strong leaders must confront activist judges. During the Bush administration, Attorney General William Barr successfully challenged judges interfering with Haitian migrant interdictions. Today’s Supreme Court must similarly rein in rogue lower courts undermining national security. The Constitution grants the executive branch authority over borders—not unelected judges siding with open-border activists.
The left’s agenda risks constitutional crisis. By celebrating judges who override voters and presidential authority, Democrats endanger public safety. Their loyalty lies with noncitizens over citizens, criminals over victims, and globalist ideals over American sovereignty. As November’s elections approach, conservatives must expose these radical positions and fight for the rule of law.
President Trump’s policies have already reduced illegal crossings and deported thousands of violent offenders. Yet every step forward faces left-wing lawsuits and media smears. Raskin’s admission reveals the truth: Democrats would rather empower judges and illegal immigrants than protect hardworking Americans.
The choice is clear. Conservatives demand secure borders, constitutional governance, and accountability. Liberals offer chaos, lawlessness, and a judiciary that punishes patriotism. As Raskin said, Democrats can keep their activist judges and open borders—Americans reject both.
