In a stunning moment of rare honesty from the left, U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) has finally admitted what patriotic Americans have been screaming from the rooftops for years: Democrats are weak on immigration.

The Nevada Democrat's confession comes as her party desperately scrambles to avoid complete political annihilation following President Trump's massive victory and successful implementation of his America First immigration agenda. With mass deportations underway and the border wall nearing completion, even the most radical open-borders Democrats are starting to panic about their political future.

Cortez Masto's admission isn't just embarrassing - it's a complete vindication of everything President Trump has been fighting for since day one. While Democrats spent years calling border security "racist" and "xenophobic," Trump was busy protecting American workers and communities from the chaos of illegal immigration.

"Democrats are weak on immigration," Cortez Masto reportedly stated, finally acknowledging the obvious truth that cost her party dearly in 2024.

This desperate pivot comes too late for Democrats who spent the Biden years turning America into a human trafficking highway. From sanctuary cities to catch-and-release policies, Democrats created a border crisis that put American families at risk while enriching cartels and human smugglers.

Too Little, Too Late for Failed Party

The senator's newfound "tough talk" on immigration reeks of political desperation. Where was this concern when Biden was processing over 10 million illegal aliens into American communities? Where was her voice when fentanyl was pouring across our southern border, killing American children?

President Trump's deportation operations are already showing results, with illegal crossings plummeting and American workers finally getting the protection they deserve. Meanwhile, Democrats like Cortez Masto are left scrambling to explain why they spent years opposing the very policies that are now making America safer.

This admission proves that even Democrats know Trump was right all along about border security. The question for Nevada voters is simple: why trust politicians who only care about immigration when their careers are on the line?

It's encouraging to see some Democrats finally willing to break ranks on this issue. Border security shouldn't be partisan - it's about national sovereignty and public safety.

Agreed. This should have bipartisan support but unfortunately it doesn't.

Question: Is this just election year posturing or does she actually plan to support meaningful border security measures? I'll believe it when I see votes, not just words.

I live 50 miles from the border and see the impact daily. My property has been crossed dozens of times this year alone, and local law enforcement is overwhelmed. At least Cortez Masto is acknowledging reality.

This is what happens when virtue signaling meets real-world consequences.

Exactly. Easy to have open border policies when you live in a gated community in DC.

Finally! At least one Democrat is being honest about their failed immigration policies. It's about time they admitted what we've been saying for years.

Right? Too bad it took a crisis at the border for them to wake up.

I'm actually surprised Cortez Masto said this given Nevada's political climate. Maybe the polls are worse for Democrats than we thought on immigration.

WOW! Never thought I'd see the day a Democrat senator would admit this publicly.

As someone who employs people legally and follows all the rules, the current system is completely unfair. We need lawmakers who understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration.
