Democrats' Priority Problem: Margaritas Flow While Americans are Left to Suffer

WASHINGTON DC - Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger (TX-11) and Rep. Mark Harris (NC-08) penned a must-read op-ed in Fox News exposing how Democrats have prioritized defending Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant with MS-13 ties, while consistently ignoring the needs and safety of American citizens affected by the border crisis.

The piece exposes how the Democrats are so rudderless and devoid of reality that they're willing to champion the return of a violent MS-13 member while families like Laken Riley's and Rachel Morin's are left to grieve without justice.

A snippet from the piece:

Democrats love to accuse Republicans of politicizing current events, yet that’s exactly what they spent the last week doing. They’re spinning a wild narrative built on falsehoods, while conveniently ignoring the evidence on record.

Let’s start with the facts: Kilmar Abrego Garcia was not deported mistakenly. That was a lie inserted in a legal brief by a since-fired Department of Justice (DOJ) lawyer. In 2019, not one, but two courts ruled that he was a member of MS-13 and in the country illegally. During a bond hearing, the immigration judge found that Abrego Garcia presented a danger to his community and that he failed to refute the evidence affirming his membership in MS-13. Despite Democrats’ claims to the contrary, Garcia has received due process – his case has been reviewed and denied multiple times.

Garcia is not just some "Maryland" man, nor is he the picture-perfect husband and father that the media portrays. He is an El Salvadoran national with a violent criminal history and ties to a designated terrorist group.
