Just ten days into President Trump's second term, and the Democrats are already making a catastrophic political miscalculation that could spell complete annihilation in the 2026 midterms. As Trump's mass deportation operation kicks into high gear and Americans celebrate the return of border security, the unhinged left is doubling down on the very issue that got them obliterated in 2024.

Are they really this politically tone-deaf? The answer appears to be a resounding YES.

While Trump's approval ratings soar as ICE agents finally do their jobs and criminal aliens are shipped back where they came from, Democrat leaders are busy crying about "family separations" and "humanitarian crises." Meanwhile, everyday Americans are breathing sighs of relief as their communities become safer and their tax dollars stop funding sanctuary cities.

The Writing's on the Wall

Historic midterm headwinds are already stacked against whoever holds the White House, but Democrats seem determined to make things worse for themselves. Instead of pivoting away from their disastrous open-border policies that cost them everything in 2024, they're preparing to make immigration THE central issue of 2026.

"This is political suicide," said one GOP strategist. "Trump is delivering exactly what he promised, and Americans love it. If Democrats want to spend the next two years defending MS-13 and drug cartels, be our guest."

"Every single poll shows Americans overwhelmingly support deportations and border security. The Democrats are walking into a buzzsaw of their own making."

From coast to coast, American families are witnessing the transformation. Crime rates plummeting. Schools focusing on education instead of accommodating illegal aliens. Hospital emergency rooms serving citizens instead of being overwhelmed by people who shouldn't be here in the first place.

And what's the Democrat response? Double down on defending the indefensible.

A Gift That Keeps on Giving

Republicans couldn't ask for a better scenario. While they focus on jobs, the economy, and making America great again, Democrats will spend 2026 explaining why Americans should feel guilty about enforcing immigration laws.

Good luck with that strategy, Democrats. See you at the polls – if there are any of you left after this political kamikaze mission.

Finally! We've been waiting for real action on the border for years. The Democrats had their chance and completely blew it.

Couldn't agree more. My ranch is right on the border and I've seen the chaos firsthand.

This is what happens when you ignore the American people's concerns about immigration policy. Trump promised results and he's delivering - no wonder the Dems are scrambling.

About time! Living in Arizona, I can tell you that border security has been a joke for too long.

Same here in Phoenix. The difference in enforcement is night and day.

Question - does anyone know if this includes sanctuary cities? Hoping to see real consequences for cities that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration law.
