In today’s world, it seems that the very first action taken by some upon landing on American soil is to break immigration laws. Imagine that—a dazzling welcome! As always, the nation faces the ongoing debate about border security, and the government’s role is thrust to center stage, because, apparently, common sense doesn’t always make it to the agenda.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche emphasizes a rather simple concept: more police presence means less crime. Revolutionary, right? And yet, a sprinkling of leaders across the country are experimenting with the idea of fewer police and prosecutions. Because obviously, when you make it easier for criminals to roam free, it inevitably leads to a safer environment for everyone—or so the theory goes. Meanwhile, President Trump reiterated what many are thinking: what good are rights if citizens don’t feel safe? It’s a question that’s both elementary yet profoundly overlooked by some Big City leaders.
Interestingly, the focus has shifted to the capital, Washington, D.C. You know, the place where laws are supposed to be made, not habitually broken. For once, D.C.’s mayor sang praises for federal efforts that somehow made the city demonstrably safer in a mere fortnight. The astounding part? People can now enjoy an evening out without the fear of being pickpocketed or randomly attacked. It sounds almost utopian for one of the world’s supposed greatest cities, doesn’t it?
Of course, as our Deputy Attorney General slyly hints, there’s a misconception floating around that federal authorities need local permission to do their jobs. Fear not, for the Constitution clearly doesn’t bind our federal prosecutors to such absurdities. They hold a duty to the citizens, and no amount of local political theater can deter them from pursuing justice and ensuring public safety. It’s almost as if some people forgot what jurisdiction means.
Now, let’s pivot to another head-scratcher: immigration enforcement and the judicial circus surrounding it. An example of this was a D.C. judge’s late-night decision that blocked the repatriation of Guatemalan children to their parents. Heaven forbid you try to reunite families in their own country! The judge, without as much as a courteous “pardon me,” abruptly halted the government’s well-laid plans. It’s astonishing how reuniting families could get tangled up in the cobwebs of bureaucracy. But fear not, because officials like Todd Blanche and his team are on standby, ready to sort out this legal conundrum and uphold the rule of law—despite the judiciary’s occasional dramatic interludes. In the end, let’s root for common sense to emerge triumphant.
