Chris Salcedo unloaded on Thursday’s show, calling out a Democratic Party that he says has replaced loyalty to Americans with a blind allegiance to illegal immigration. He argued the left treats those who broke our laws as a protected class while ignoring the costs borne by hardworking citizens who play by the rules.
This isn’t casual rhetoric from a talk-radio provocateur — Salcedo has long slammed illegal immigration as immoral and destructive to the rule of law, and he didn’t pull punches this week. He pointed out the obvious: illegally entering the country is a crime, and normalizing that conduct rewards lawbreaking and punishes the people who obey our laws.
What the mainstream media won’t tell you is how policy choices affect everyday Americans: schools strained, hospitals overloaded, wages depressed, and public safety put at risk when borders are left open. Salcedo rightly called attention to the human and fiscal consequences the Biden era has foisted on taxpayers while elites cheer open-door policies from the safety of gated communities.
Democrats’ posture on immigration isn’t compassion — it’s politics. Whether it’s courting new voters or appeasing activist donors, the result is a cynical calculus that elevates political advantage over citizen security and sovereignty, and Salcedo made that case plainly on air.
Conservatives should stop apologizing for pointing out the obvious: a nation without borders is not a nation, and enforcing immigration law is not cruelty, it’s fidelity to the social contract. Salcedo’s message is a wake-up call — if Republicans want to win, they must match rhetoric with real policy: secure the border, enforce the law, and restore order.
Americans who work, obey the law, and pay taxes deserve leaders who put them first, not politicians who import voters and then lecture the public about empathy. Salcedo’s blunt honesty is the kind of commonsense conservatism the country needs now: tell the truth, defend the rule of law, and fight for the citizens who built this nation.
