Yesterday morning, I woke up to my usual cup of coffee and the news that the Biden administration is closing down Camp East Montana's ICE detention center in Texas. Now, folks, let me tell you why this is a big deal.

This facility plays a critical role in detaining illegal immigrants to keep our country safe. But now it's being shut down because some folks think conditions there aren't good enough. That’s fine and dandy if they fix things up properly, but we're talking about closing the whole place down instead of making improvements.

Here's what they’re not telling you: this move is all about optics and pandering to a certain political base. You don’t need a degree to see that the Biden administration is more concerned with scoring political points than securing our borders.

The truth is, when it comes to border security, we've had real problems under Democrat administrations for years now. Obama-era policies gutted ICE and left us vulnerable. We can't let this continue under Biden just because some folks want to look good on social media.

It’s like if I went to work and decided not to fix a leaky pipe because it looked bad, instead of doing my job properly. The people who care about our security are frustrated that the administration is more interested in appearing soft on illegal immigration than actually securing our borders.

Folks know what we're talking about here. You don't need me to tell you this isn't right. It’s clear they think regular folks like us aren’t paying attention or won’t understand.

But here's the thing: we see it, and we’re not going to forget it. We demand real border security. We deserve better than political grandstanding at the expense of our safety.
