Senator Chris Van Hollen’s latest stunt blew up in his face this week as he tried to defend an illegal immigrant deported for gang ties. The Maryland Democrat looked rattled when confronted with facts about Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s background. This is what happens when liberal politicians care more about open borders than American safety.
Van Hollen flew to El Salvador to meet Garcia, who was kicked out under President Trump’s tough immigration policies. Instead of apologizing for supporting dangerous criminals, Van Hollen whined about “Margarita-gate” – a fake scandal where Salvadoran officials placed untouched drinks on their meeting table. The senator cried “setup!” while ignoring the real issue: Garcia shouldn’t be here.
The Trump administration stands firm. Garcia has suspected MS-13 connections, a brutal gang that floods our communities with drugs and violence. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ripped Van Hollen for prioritizing a deportee over citizens. “We don’t negotiate with gangs,” she said, exposing the left’s soft-on-crime agenda.
Bukele’s government mocked Van Hollen by photoshopping the meeting photo to add margarita glasses. Liberals fell for the bait, spinning conspiracy theories instead of admitting the truth. Meanwhile, Garcia’s tattoos and shady past tell a different story – one the media refuses to cover.
Van Hollen claims this is about “constitutional rights,” but that’s code for letting criminals abuse the system. The Supreme Court ordered Garcia’s return, but Trump officials rightly refuse. Why should American taxpayers foot the bill for endless appeals from illegal immigrants with gang ties?
This isn’t about one man. It’s about the Democrat Party putting illegal aliens ahead of law-abiding citizens. While Van Hollen sips fake margaritas, families in Maryland suffer from fentanyl overdoses and gang violence. Noem nailed it: America comes first.
The left’s open borders lobby keeps losing because Americans see through their lies. They call Trump racist for enforcing laws, then cry foul when their schemes backfire. Van Hollen’s red-faced meltdown proves conservatives are winning the immigration debate.
Real patriots know the truth: secure borders save lives. Let’s hope this embarrassing spectacle reminds voters which party actually protects American communities. November can’t come soon enough.
