Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen sparked outrage after revealing taxpayers footed the bill for his trip to visit a deportee jailed in El Salvador’s toughest prison. Van Hollen traveled to check on Kilmar Ábrego García, who immigration authorities wrongly expelled despite court orders protecting him. Conservatives ask why Democrats care more about a man with alleged MS-13 ties than Americans harmed by illegal immigrant crime.
The Trump administration maintains García belongs to the violent gang, though no court ever convicted him. While Van Hollen claims this is about justice, patriots see it as prioritizing criminals over citizens. Our borders endure daily invasions, yet Washington elites jet off to coddle deportation cases with shady backgrounds.
El Salvador’s government initially blocked Van Hollen from visiting García in their terrorist prison. They reversed course after media pressure, letting the senator sip margaritas with a man housed alongside murderers and extortionists. This circus insults every law-abiding immigrant waiting years to enter America legally.
Van Hollen’s grandstanding comes as communities nationwide reel from illegal alien crimes. While he frets over prison conditions abroad, fentanyl floods our streets and gangs recruit in our cities. Real leaders protect Main Street, not foreign jailbirds.
Taxpayers deserve answers about funding this political theater. Families struggle with inflation, yet their hard-earned dollars buy plane tickets for virtue-signaling trips. Democrats always find money for their pet projects but never for border walls or ICE agents.
The senator claims García faces danger in El Salvador, ignoring that MS-13 originated there. If García’s so innocent, why’s he locked up with the worst criminals? Biden’s open borders invited this chaos, and now Democrats waste resources cleaning up their own mess.
Van Hollen’s stunt highlights the left’s upside-down priorities. They attack Trump’s deportation efforts while silent about victims like Rachel Morin and Laken Riley. Every dollar spent on this nonsense should go to deporting violent illegals, not comforting them.
This disgraceful episode proves Democrats care more about criminal aliens than American citizens. November can’t come soon enough to drain the swamp and restore common sense. Real justice means putting America first, always.
