It’s a funny thing, this idea some people have that America should be a big welcome party for everyone, no questions asked. They roll out the red carpet, but sometimes they forget to check if the guests are here to enjoy the cake or to set the house on fire. It’s like leaving your front door unlocked with a sign saying “Free Cookies!” – you might get nice neighbors, or you might get a raccoon with a sweet tooth and a bad attitude.

When those well-meaning but, let’s be honest, clueless policies go wrong, it’s not the fancy politicians who pay the price. Oh no. It’s regular Americans, just trying to live their lives, who find themselves in the middle of a mess they didn’t create. And lately, it seems like those messes are getting more frequent, and a whole lot scarier.

A Sunny Day Shattered by Hate

Just this past Sunday, in peaceful Boulder, Colorado, a group of Americans, many of them older citizens, were doing something wonderfully American: holding a vigil. They were part of “Run for Their Lives,” a group that gathers weekly to remember the Israeli hostages still held by Hamas terrorists. But their peaceful gathering turned into a scene of horror.

A man, filled with hate, reportedly attacked them with Molotov cocktails and a makeshift flamethrower. Eight people, ranging in age from 52 to 88, were rushed to the hospital, some with critical burns. Imagine, grandmas and grandpas, attacked with fire for simply standing up for what they believe. The FBI quickly called it what it was: a targeted act of terrorism.

Who is Mohamed Sabry Soliman? An “Illegal Alien” Story

The man arrested at the scene, covered in soot and shouting pro-Palestinian slogans like “free Palestine” and “End Zionists!”, is Mohamed Sabry Soliman. He’s a 45-year-old Egyptian national. And here’s the kicker that should make every law-abiding American’s blood boil: he was in our country illegally.

According to reports, Soliman entered the U.S. back in August 2022, during the previous Democrat administration, on a nonimmigrant visa. That visa expired in February 2023. Did he leave? Nope. He overstayed. But it gets worse.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

“I’m told Mohamed Sabry Soliman arrived at LAX on 8/27/22 on a B1/B2 nonimmigrant visa with an authorized stay through 2/26/23, but he overstayed & never left. I’m told, on 9/29/22, he filed some sort of claim with USCIS,
potentially an asylum claim, and on 3/29/23, USCIS under the Biden admin gave him work authorization, which expired on 3/28/25.”

That’s right. He broke the law by overstaying his visa, and then the previous administration rewarded him with a permit to work in our country! To add another layer to this, the NY Post reported that Soliman had actually been denied a U.S. visa way back in 2005. Red flags, anyone?

From Overstay to “Authorized Worker”: A System Gone Wrong

This isn’t just one bad apple; it’s a symptom of a rotten system fostered by Democrats’ pro-illegal alien policies. When you prioritize so-called “welcoming” over vetting and consequences, you get situations like Boulder. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, under President Trump’s current administration, didn’t mince words, stating, “A terror attack was committed in Boulder, Colorado by an illegal alien. He was granted a tourist visa by the Biden Administration and then he illegally overstayed that visa. In response, the Biden Administration gave him a work permit. Suicidal migration must be fully reversed.”

The FBI, now under sound leadership with Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, is treating this as “ideologically motivated violence.” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has also confirmed her department’s full involvement. This attack, fueled by anti-Israel hate, is a stark reminder of what happens when border security and immigration enforcement are treated like suggestions rather than the law of the land. The Democrats’ open-door fantasies of the past have created very real nightmares for Americans today.

Key Takeaways:

• An illegal immigrant attacked peaceful, elderly Americans with firebombs in Colorado.
• Past Democrat policies allowed him to stay and even granted him a work permit.
• Failed Democrat immigration policies put American lives directly at risk.
