The defining political question of our time is whether the United States of America is a nation that exists for the benefit of her people, or an economic zone and welfare machine that exists for the benefit of everyone else. Americans have watched for a decade as every president, lawmaker, judge, sheriff, and bureaucrat in the country has offered their answer to that question. Today, there are no fence-sitters left for us to wonder about their convictions. Republicans, led by President Donald Trump, hold that America is for Americans, that illegal immigrants should be returned to their home countries, that foreign criminals should be immediately apprehended, punished, and deported, and that fraud against the American people is an intolerable crime. Democrats, led by Joe Biden, then by Kamala Harris, and now by the Democratic Socialists of America, hold that our country exists so that the rest of the world can one day arrive in it. They invite millions to illegally cross our borders and remain here. They refuse to cooperate in the arrest and deportation of illegal murderers and rapists. They refuse to protect the votes of citizens. They attack anyone who exposes billions of dollars in fraud stolen from our people. Americans have now experienced, firsthand, both visions for our country. They know what each side stands for, and which future—or lack thereof—each offers to their children. I know which future I choose.
