Transportation Security Administration agents and other Department of Homeland Security employees will receive only partial paychecks this week as Democrats continue their shameless obstruction of border security funding.
The Trump administration is standing firm against Democratic demands to gut federal immigration enforcement in exchange for DHS funding — and hardworking Americans are paying the price for liberal games.
At the heart of this manufactured crisis are proposed restrictions on ICE operations that Democrats are demanding as their pound of flesh. These radical lawmakers want to handicap the very agents working to remove dangerous criminals and illegal aliens from our communities.
Democrats Choose Illegals Over Americans
While TSA agents — many of whom are veterans and working-class Americans — face uncertainty about their next paycheck, Democrats are more concerned with protecting illegal immigrants from deportation. The party that claims to support "working families" is literally taking food off the tables of federal workers to shield lawbreakers.
This is the same playbook we've seen before: Democrats manufacture a crisis, blame Republicans, and hope the media carries water for their obstructionism. But Americans see right through this charade.
Secretary Kristi Noem and the DHS team are working around the clock to secure our borders while dealing with this artificial funding shortage. Meanwhile, Democrats are demanding President Trump abandon his America First immigration policies — the very policies that got him elected.
Trump Won't Back Down
The Trump-Vance administration has made it clear they won't negotiate away border security for a few weeks of government funding. After four years of Biden's border catastrophe, Americans elected Trump specifically to clean up this mess — and that's exactly what he's doing.
Every day this standoff continues, more illegal aliens pour across our borders while the very people trying to stop them get shortchanged by Democratic politics. It's a disgrace that shows exactly where liberal priorities lie: with foreign nationals, not American workers.
How long will Democrats put their open-borders agenda ahead of the federal employees they claim to support?
