The Cost of Naive Compassion Is Too High for America to Bear

I’m a softie at heart, but life and its rough edges have toughened me up—more than I’d have been if adult relationships hadn’t been so harsh. I had a beautiful childhood, growing up near a lake with loving, supportive parents who provided well for me. As an only child, I spent a lot of time lost in my own thoughts. I wasn’t a stunner and always struggled with my weight, but I was attractive enough and loved school. When life is that easy, it’s natural to develop a rosy, almost idyllic view of the world.

My dad shielded me from anything bad. Surrounded by beauty, light, and mostly kind people, I naively assumed that’s just how human nature was. In reality, my parents had built me a lovely bubble.

Once I stepped out on my own, I learned the hard way that there are plenty of bad people out there—and many of them prey on folks like me, who want to see the best in everyone. My romantic life, in particular, has been a parade of those kinds of creeps. I don’t have “daddy issues” in the usual sense. If anything, my dad was so wonderful that I didn’t know what to watch out for when it came to bad men. It became my Achilles’ heel. He could see it, of course—men often can with other men—but I didn’t listen. Romantic love comes with its own pair of rose-colored glasses.

I bring this up because I think it’s how “Progressives” approach their politics. They seem to believe that if we just clap hard enough and cheer people on, everyone will want to do good. But that’s not only untrue—it’s the very thing bad actors exploit to infiltrate and destabilize a country that’s otherwise got a pretty great thing going. America really is exceptional. Those of us born here owe a huge debt of gratitude to the ancestors who did the heavy lifting to make it that way. It’d be wonderful if we could share this country with everyone, but the reality is, we can’t. Plus, many cultures and people don’t even want what we have. George W. Bush once thought they did, and we learned the hard way that’s not the case. This particular human experiment doesn’t suit everybody. And when you’ve got something good, you have to guard it fiercely—like a husband protecting his beloved because he couldn’t bear to lose her. A patriot has to defend their nation the same way.

The fact that this will be a controversial ruling is…insane.

It doesn’t say Trump can’t carry out deportations. It says the admin needs to give people *a hearing* to challenge the allegations against them before being shipped off to a third-world prison. That is so basic. https://t.co/TDFLWJYmQp

When I see tweets like this, it’s clear the person lives in their own bubble. They think we can both rein in the immigration mess Biden created and still give everyone asylum hearings. Biden let in hundreds of thousands of barely vetted people, including some who are genuinely dangerous. At a certain point, we can’t afford to give everyone their day in court—we need to start deporting people before we end up with more tragedies like Laken Riley’s.

If the Trump administration is confident in its findings that all of these people are gang members, then they should have no problem proving that in court. The fact that they really don’t want to, and would instead prefer to circumvent the Constitution, should give you pause.

This isn’t a utopia. The Trump administration doesn’t have the luxury of reviewing every single case to decide who stays or goes. They shouldn’t have been let in to begin with, but that ship has sailed. Now, we’re stuck cleaning up the mess. This isn’t a perfect world—they aren’t American citizens, and they aren’t entitled to anything from us. That might sound cold, but losing more Americans to violence is far worse.

How many more families have to bury loved ones just so Progressives can pat themselves on the back about due process and court hearings? Another senseless murder last week—and that’s enough. It’s time for conservatives to step up, be the adults in the room, and protect our neighbors, since Democrats clearly won’t.
