Leftist protesters in 2020 faced no real punishment for their actions. This sent a dangerous message across America. Victor Davis Hanson, a top conservative thinker, explains how this happened.
Democrats in power attacked ICE and police loudly. They called to defund the police and weaken immigration enforcement. This made protesters think they could break laws without consequences.
Chaos followed in many cities. Rioters burned buildings and attacked innocent people. Police were told to stand down and not stop the violence.
Hanson says this was a big mistake. Letting criminals go free teaches others to ignore laws. It makes America weaker and less safe for families.
The message from leaders was clear: if you hate America, you can cause trouble. This disrespects our country and hurts hardworking citizens.
Open borders make this problem worse. Millions came illegally because they heard enforcement was weak. This strains our schools and hospitals.
Real Americans pay the price for this lawlessness. Patriots want safety and order restored. They know strong borders protect our jobs and communities.
We must back our police and immigration officers again. Standing up for law and order is the only way to save our great nation.
