Democrats all of a sudden care about going to the southern border, but not because are concerned about stopping illegal immigration. No, they want to conduct ‘oversight’ of what President Trump is doing to secure the border.

Here’s the news:

A delegation of House Democratic lawmakers will visit a portion of the southern border on Friday to conduct oversight of the Trump administration’s border policies “firsthand” as authorities continue the president’s mass deportation program.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-MS., the ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, will lead the delegation.

Also going will be Reps. Lou Correa and Sara Jacobs, both of California; Delia Ramirez of Illinois; LaMonica McIver and Nellie Pou, both of New Jersey; and Tim Kennedy of New York.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Thompson’s office. The lawmakers will visit the U.S. Border Patrol’s San Diego Sector.

San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond, who has called for greater border security in the past, criticized the timing of the visit.

“For years, I invited leaders from both parties to witness the crisis at our Southern Border,” he wrote on X. “Few listened. Now—just one month into the new administration—border crossings are down 95%. Now the Democrats want to come see it? The invasion is over. The border is secure.”

Desmond is absolutely right! The last time Democrats cared about going to the border was during Trump’s first term, to try and use it against him. And I assure you that’s what they are going to do this time as well. They are looking for something, anything they can use against President Trump because that’s all they care about. They never cared about securing the border and never went during Biden’s entire term.

The House Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee Rep. Mark Green ripped into the Democrats for suddenly wanting to visit the border:

“It’s no coincidence that Committee Democrats are choosing to visit the border after President Trump cleaned up the mess created by the Biden administration. The American people will not forget how congressional Democrats turned a blind eye as their own party created the worst border crisis in U.S. history. When the Committee held a field hearing in 2023 in Pharr, Texas, no Democrat members attended. My counterpart, Mr. Thompson, even repeatedly called hearings about the border crisis a waste of time. While the visit tomorrow comes years too late, I am grateful Democrats will be drawing attention to the law and order that the Trump administration has and will continue to restore. They will have the opportunity to witness the rising morale of our CBP personnel, who now have the needed support to do their jobs. It clearly was this easy to end the crisis––Democrats just didn’t want to.”
