Have you ever wondered what happens when our nation lets just anyone walk in? For years, Americans have watched as millions crossed our borders with little to no vetting. While some came seeking honest work, others brought dangerous ideas and deadly plans. The cost of open borders isn’t just about jobs or taxes—it’s about the safety of our communities.
What many warned would happen finally did. The consequences of weak borders hit home in a violent attack that could have been prevented with basic border enforcement. Now families are suffering, and Americans are demanding answers about how this was allowed to happen.
The terror attack in Boulder, Colorado that left eight people injured wasn’t random. It was carried out by Mohamed Soliman, an Egyptian national who entered America during Biden’s presidency and should have been long gone. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation that Soliman entered on a B2 visa that expired in February 2023. He filed for asylum but remained illegally in the country for over two years.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer didn’t mince words about who’s responsible:
From ‘Daily Caller’:
“Make no mistake: The horrific terrorist attack in Boulder is a direct result of the Democrats’ antisemitic, open-borders agenda,” Emmer told the DCNF in a statement Monday.
The terrorist reportedly yelled “Free Palestine” before attacking the pro-Israeli demonstrators with a flamethrower and Molotov cocktails. He later told police he “wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead.” This hate-filled attack happened because someone who shouldn’t have been in our country was allowed to stay.
Biden’s Welcome Mat for Terrorists
This tragedy highlights the disastrous border policies of the Biden administration. For four years, Biden kept the border wide open, allowing millions to enter illegally with little consequence. The terrorist who attacked Jewish Americans in Boulder was just one of countless visa overstays that weren’t properly tracked or deported.
Biden’s administration didn’t just fail at the border—they actively dismantled successful Trump-era policies like Remain in Mexico and border wall construction that had kept Americans safer. Instead of enforcing existing laws, they created “sanctuary” policies that protected illegal immigrants from deportation, even those with expired visas like Soliman.
Democrats had chances to fix this problem but chose politics over safety. Not a single House Democrat voted for H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act in 2023, which would have increased penalties for foreign nationals who overstay their visas—exactly what the Boulder attacker did. Just 46 Democratic lawmakers supported the Laken Riley Act, which would have allowed immigration authorities to detain illegal immigrants who commit various crimes.
Trump Slams the Door on Danger
The contrast couldn’t be clearer. Under President Trump’s leadership, border security has been dramatically improved in just months. The Trump administration announced in April that encounters with illegal migrants at the southern border were down by 95% compared to the previous year. The number of “gotaways”—illegal immigrants released into the United States—decreased by 99%.
Where Biden opened the gates, Trump has reinstated effective policies and added new enforcement measures. His administration has rapidly expanded deportation operations, prioritizing criminals and visa overstays that pose potential security threats—exactly the type of individual responsible for the Boulder attack.
President Trump didn’t hesitate to connect the dots between weak borders and the Boulder attack. “This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The Trump administration’s Department of Justice has charged Soliman with a federal hate crime. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that the DOJ will hold the suspect “accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”
Safe Citizens or Open Borders: Pick One
House Republicans continue working to strengthen border security while Democrats resist these efforts. Every House Democrat voted against President Trump’s tax and spending bill, which allocates nearly $50 billion for border wall construction and an additional $12 billion to reimburse states that had to combat illegal immigration during the Biden years.
As Rep. Emmer stated, “Under President Trump’s leadership, House Republicans are working overtime to ensure the Jewish community is protected and radical, illegal immigrants have no refuge in America.” The message is clear: border security isn’t just about immigration—it’s about keeping Americans safe.
Key Takeaways:
- The Boulder terrorist entered during Biden’s presidency on a visa that expired in 2023 but wasn’t deported
- Democrats unanimously opposed legislation that would have increased penalties for visa overstays
- Border encounters have dropped 95% under Trump’s policies, showing effective border security is possible
