In today’s tumultuous world, where Americans feel increasingly vulnerable due to rising crime rates and the persistent threat from drug cartels, it is urgent to examine the bold actions of President Donald J. Trump. For those of us over 60, who have dedicated our lives to hard work and have witnessed the steady decline of our once-great nation, Trump’s recent directive to use military force against these criminal organizations resonates deeply.
The harsh reality is that drug cartels like the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation Cartels have turned our neighborhoods into battlegrounds, bringing violence and fear to our communities. These organizations don’t just impact headlines; they destroy lives. As shown in the tragic cases of Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray—innocent victims of cartel-related violence—we see the faces of those affected by these barbaric gangs. We deserve a leader who isn’t afraid to protect our homeland and take decisive action against this growing threat.
President Trump’s directive to the Pentagon symbolizes not just a power move but a commitment to the safety and security of the American people. By designating these drug cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, Trump has recognized the lethal nature of their actions and justified stronger military responses. This decisive step could mark a turning point in combating the scourge that has been allowed to fester under previous administrations. We must remember that Biden’s open-border policies have amplified this crisis, effectively allowing cartels to exploit our country.
For those of us who have worked hard to build a better future for our families, it is disheartening to see our elected leaders support initiatives that weaken our borders and compromise our safety. Trump’s unwavering dedication to combating crime and protecting American jobs provides a stark contrast to the neglect and inaction we have faced recently.
As champions of our values and history, it is our duty to rally behind a leader who is willing to step forward when it matters most. The stakes have never been higher, and our collective voice and commitment can help steer our country away from neglect and toward a future where our communities can thrive, free from the threat of annihilation by violent cartels. In Trump, we find a true ally in the battle for America’s security and prosperity. Together, we can demand actions that prioritize our safety and honor our collective sacrifice as hard-working Americans.
