The great cities of the United States have long been vibrant hubs of culture, innovation and opportunity. However, recent liberal policies have eroded urban vitality.
Lax border control, defunding police forces and tolerating political agitators threaten to unravel the fabric of our urban centers.
The push for open borders, driven by liberal ideology, compromises national security and strains local resources and infrastructure.
The unchecked influx of migrants pressures social services, housing and job markets, exacerbating inequality and reducing the quality of life for all residents.
Calls to defund police departments in the name of social justice, while valid in seeking reform, have led to rising crime rates and decreased public safety.
Dismantling law enforcement is just a bad idea and emboldens criminals and creates chaos.
Tolerance of political agitators who sow division further undermines social cohesion, driving away investment, stifling economic growth and eroding public trust.
It is crucial to pursue policies that prioritize public safety, uphold the rule of law and foster inclusive economic development. This includes comprehensive immigration reform, equitable policing practices, and a zero-tolerance approach to political violence and extremism.
We must hold leaders accountable and demand policies that safeguard our cities.
Rejecting short-sighted liberalism in favor of pragmatic, compassionate urban renewal is essential for the future of our great cities.
