The unspoken confession of America’s greatness

www.americanthinker.com

For years, the Democrat party and the political left have waged a relentless campaign to convince Americans that their country is broken. From Hollywood stages to university lecture halls, from media panels to congressional podiums, the message is clear and repeated: America is racist, misogynistic, homophobic, and systemically unjust. Children are taught to view their nation not as a beacon of liberty, but as a shameful relic of oppression. Patriotism is mocked, the flag is vilified, and the very foundations of American pride are eroded by those who claim moral superiority.

Yet in the midst of this ideological assault, a glaring hypocrisy emerges, one so profound it inadvertently confirms the greatness of the very country they claim to despise. Over the past three to four years, under the previous administration, an estimated 15 to 20 million illegal aliens crossed the southern border into the United States. Many came seeking opportunities fleeing poverty, violence, or authoritarian regimes.

This is not a new phenomenon. Many illegal aliens have lived in the U.S. for decades—some for over 20 years—without legal status. And now, under the current administration, they are being offered a remarkable opportunity: to return to their homelands, to reunite with their countrymen, their family, and to live in the nations they once called home. The U.S. government is even willing to cover travel expenses, facilitating a dignified return. But instead of welcoming this chance, the left erupts in fury.

Protests break out across the country. ICE agents are screamed at, harassed, and assaulted. Democrats denounce deportations as “inhumane.” Celebrities take to social media to decry the “cruelty” of sending people back to their own countries. Many of the loudest voices are women—educators, media personalities, and elected officials—who have spent years telling Americans that their country is a disgrace. And yet, when given the chance to help illegal aliens leave this supposedly “terrible” nation, they resist with everything they have.

Why? Because their actions betray their rhetoric. Deep down, they know the truth: America is still the best country in the world.

If the United States were truly the racist, oppressive, and violent place the left claims it is, wouldn’t they be eager to see illegal aliens return to their homelands? Wouldn’t they celebrate the chance to remove people from such a toxic environment? Instead, they fight to keep them here. They insist that sending illegal aliens back to their countries of origin is cruel—because those countries lack the opportunities, freedoms, and safety that America provides. In doing so, they admit what patriots have always known: America, despite its flaws, remains unmatched in its promise and prosperity.

Even more disturbing is the left’s obsession with protecting illegal alien criminals. Time and again, Democrat-run cities and states have enacted sanctuary policies that shield violent offenders from deportation. Murderers, rapists, and repeat assaulters are allowed to remain in the country, often released back into communities without consequence. Law-abiding citizens suffer, while the left defends the indefensible—all in the name of compassion. But this isn’t compassion. It’s ideological madness. And it further exposes the contradiction at the heart of their worldview.

American patriots—conservatives, Republicans, MAGA supporters, and Trump supporters—don’t need this hypocrisy to prove what they already know. They see America as the greatest nation on earth, a land built on freedom, liberty, sacrifice, and opportunity. They understand that while no country is perfect, the United States stands alone in its capacity to uplift the individual, protect freedom, and inspire hope. That’s why millions risk everything to come here. That’s why illegal aliens resist leaving. And that’s why the left’s desperate fight to keep them here is the most ironic confession of all.

The contradiction is staggering. The Democrat party teaches children to hate America, yet they fight to keep outsiders within its borders. They condemn the nation as racist, yet they insist immigrants must remain. They call America oppressive, yet they resist sending people back to countries with far fewer freedoms. Their hypocrisy is not just political—it’s philosophical. It reveals that even those who claim to hate America cannot deny its greatness when faced with the alternative.

In the end, the left’s actions speak louder than their words. Their protests, their obstruction, and their defense of illegal aliens—criminal or otherwise—confirm what they refuse to say out loud: America is still the land of opportunity, the most sought-after nation in the world, and the best place to live. Their hypocrisy is a backhanded compliment, a reluctant admission, and a powerful testament to the enduring strength of the American experiment.

Let them scream. Let them protest. Let them contradict themselves. Because every time they fight to keep someone here, they prove the very thing they claim to deny: that America, despite their hatred, remains the hope of the world.
