The latest sound bite from Fox News Sunday is a gift to anyone who thinks the Democratic Socialists of America are simply a fringe club. DSA National Co‑Chair Megan Romer told FOX the group’s program includes abolishing borders and offering mass amnesty to people in the country illegally, along with abolishing ICE, prisons, and even major federal institutions. That on‑air admission matters — both because it confirms what DSA documents show and because voters deserve to know what this faction really wants.
What Romer actually said on Fox News Sunday
When asked on Fox News Sunday whether the DSA program calls to “abolish all borders” and give amnesty to anyone here illegally, DSA National Co‑Chair Megan Romer answered in the affirmative. She also acknowledged other planks reporters read from the group’s program: abolishing ICE, pushing big cuts or elimination of Pentagon spending, and even structural changes to the Senate and presidency. Those are not political rhetorical flourishes — they’re program items she confirmed on camera.
DSA’s program is real — but it’s internal
Don’t let anyone pretend these ideas are just rumors. The DSA’s internal program materials include language about abolishing ICE, abolishing borders, and anti‑carceral reforms. That said, there’s an important distinction: this is an internal organizing program, not the official platform of the Democratic National Committee. Still, when a national co‑chair confirms these are part of the group’s agenda, it tells you how the group wants to push policy and which candidates they are likely to back.
Why voters should care
This isn’t academic. Open‑borders and blanket amnesty would change immigration policy overnight. Abolishing ICE and prisons, or defunding the Pentagon, would reshape national security and public safety. Even if the entire Democratic Party doesn’t sign on, a vocal and organized faction can pull party policy left and influence primaries. Republicans and conservatives are already using the clip to warn voters: if you like secure borders, a strong military, or basic law enforcement, you should be paying attention.
Call it what it is: a preview of a political agenda. Voters should ask candidates where they stand — loudly and often. If you like borders, courts, or prisons, now is a good time to say so. And if you don’t, then enjoy the cheery fantasy of a borderless utopia — someone else will be left to explain the bill. Either way, this Fox clip made one thing clear: the DSA knows what it wants, and it’s not shy about saying it on national TV.
