Democrats are starting to crack under the pressure of their own border catastrophe, and Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA) just handed 2A patriots a golden soundbite on NBC’s “Meet the Press NOW.” Admitting that blocking DHS funding would kneecap non-immigration agencies, Walkinshaw conceded we’re in an unsustainable mess at the southern border—code for the unchecked flood of millions of military-age males, fentanyl mules, and gangbangers pouring in under Biden-Harris open-border policies. It’s a rare moment of candor from the left: even as they clutch pearls over essential services, they’re owning the chaos that’s turning American cities into no-go zones. Walkinshaw’s lament isn’t just about bureaucracy; it’s a tacit nod that the invasion is spiraling out of control, forcing even blue-team players to prioritize amid the fallout.
For the 2A community, this is manna from heaven—and a stark reminder of why our rights are non-negotiable in this powder keg. DHS isn’t some abstract agency; it’s the frontline against the cartels arming up with military-grade hardware smuggled alongside the migrants, fueling street violence from Chicago to Phoenix. When Walkinshaw frets about hurting unrelated agencies, he’s blind to the irony: the real harm is to law-abiding Americans left defenseless as illegal firearms flood in, emboldening criminals who don’t care about gun laws. We’ve seen it play out—border states reporting cartel scouts casing neighborhoods, MS-13 affiliates packing heat in sanctuary cities. Failing to fund DHS properly? That’s not leverage; it’s suicide, amplifying the exact threats that justify every AR-15 in civilian hands. Politicians like Walkinshaw want to defund while disarming us, but this slip-up exposes their house of cards: unsustainable borders mean surging crime, and surging crime means more Americans clinging to their God-given right to self-defense.
The implications are crystal clear for 2024 and beyond—use this clip to hammer home the 2A imperative. Share it far and wide: if Dems admit the border’s a disaster, why trust them with your firearms? This isn’t hyperbole; FBI stats show illegal immigrants commit crimes at disproportionate rates, often with smuggled guns, while ATF traces link thousands of crime guns to Mexico yearly. Walkinshaw’s whine is our rallying cry—fund the border or fund the funerals, but don’t you dare touch our Second Amendment. The unsustainable situation he decries? It’s the Democrat dream of a disarmed populace amid anarchy. Time to push back, hard.
