The recent incident involving an off-duty Border Patrol agent who was shot in New York City by an illegal alien highlights serious discussions about crime, immigration, and law enforcement in America. This tragic event is not just another statistic; it represents the very real dangers we face in our communities and raises critical questions about the effectiveness of current immigration policies under the Biden administration, which many believe have made illegal immigration worse.
The agent, brave and trained to serve and protect, was simply enjoying a peaceful evening with a friend when he was ambushed by an illegal alien named Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez. This man had a troubling criminal background and an order for deportation. Although injured, the agent’s resilience shone through as he fought back and managed to wound his attacker. This act of self-defense emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong and secure border, which protects not just our borders but also the lives of Americans who deserve to feel safe in their own neighborhoods.
As proud, hard-working Americans, especially those over 60 who have seen the American dream built on hard work and opportunity, we must voice our concerns about a system that seems to favor lawbreakers over law-abiding citizens. President Trump understood this, making border security and immigration enforcement cornerstones of his administration. In stark contrast, the current administration’s disregard for the rule of law leaves many feeling forgotten and vulnerable.
Moreover, the media’s selective coverage of incidents like this often softens the narrative around illegal immigration, ignoring the harsh realities faced by law enforcement and ordinary citizens. This incident stirs anger and frustration—feelings that resonate deeply with those who have witnessed the erosion of safety and community values over the past few years.
For the hardworking men and women of this country, it is essential to come together and demand accountability from our leaders. We must not forget the sacrifices made by those who protect us daily, like the injured agent in this case, who defies the odds while risking his life. We must advocate for policies that prioritize American lives, secure our borders, and ensure that violent crimes are urgently addressed. The fight for the soul of our country is far from over, and each of us has a role to play in restoring dignity and safety to our communities.
