Wajahat Ali, a left-wing commentator and the son of Pakistani immigrants, recently went on a podcast tirade attacking President Trump’s immigration plan. Instead of showing any gratitude to the nation that welcomed his family, Ali proudly declared, “The mistake that you made is you let us in.” That’s the level of arrogance we’re dealing with.
President Trump’s proposed “remigration” plan is simple and sensible: pause all migration from Third World countries, and deport those who are not contributing to society or who pose a risk to public safety. This came after the heartbreaking death of Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, reportedly killed by an Afghan national. Her death wasn’t just a tragedy—it was a wake-up call. Why are we letting in people who hate our country, our values, and our way of life?
Ali’s response wasn’t to reflect or mourn. No, he doubled down. On his podcast “The Left Hook,” he mocked the plan and basically laughed in the face of every American who believes in borders, security, and national identity. He bragged that people like him are here to stay, saying, “We’re a breeding people.” His words—not ours. And he blamed America for letting his family in after the 1965 Immigration Act changed the face of our immigration system.
Let’s be clear: Ali’s rant wasn’t just an opinion. It was a direct assault on the American identity. He dismissed Western civilization, scoffed at the idea of preserving American culture, and accused Trump supporters of being afraid of losing their country. Well, he’s half right. We are afraid—but not of change. We’re afraid of losing the traditions, values, and freedoms that made this nation great.
Ali’s comments show us exactly why President Trump’s plan is not only necessary, but urgent. Open-border policies pushed by the radical left have already flooded this country with millions of people who have no intention of assimilating. They don’t want to become Americans. They want to transform America into the very places they fled.
Conservative leaders like Robby Starbuck and Michael Knowles were quick to respond. Knowles pointed out that Ali’s comments confirm what many on the right have been warning about for years: that immigration, when uncontrolled and unchecked, leads to cultural displacement. It’s not about race. It’s about values. It’s about whether or not newcomers love this country and want to be part of it—or whether they see it as something to conquer and remake.
The Biden-era policies that allowed this chaos are being rolled back, finally, under President Trump’s leadership. Immigration Services have already begun reviewing Green Cards from high-risk nations. Asylum decisions are now on pause. We are taking back control. That’s what the American people voted for.
We are a nation built by immigrants—but not by open borders. We were built by people who came here legally, who worked hard, and who embraced our way of life. Ali’s comments show the dangers of what happens when we stop asking that of newcomers.
This is not about hate. It’s about love—love for our country, for our children’s future, and for the values that built the greatest nation on Earth. We will not apologize for defending them. We will not back down. And we will not forget the price of letting in those who wish to tear it all down.
