Leftists’ policies of open borders and defunding the police have consequences.
Understanding the true cost of an action is crucial to truly understanding the action itself. This is especially evident in the left’s push to defund the police and open America’s borders. The consequences of their ignorance have been devastating.
In June 2020, Shivanthi Sathanandan, the second vice chairwoman of Minnesota’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, boldly proclaimed on Facebook the need to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. However, the new infrastructure that was built in its place has failed to work for all communities, including Sathanandan and her family. Tragically, she was violently carjacked in her driveway in broad daylight, with her children as witnesses.
Meanwhile, on the East Coast, Woburn, Massachusetts’ Democrat Mayor Scott Galvin expressed his concerns about the influx of migrants into his small town. He acknowledged the strain it was putting on their schools and the unsustainable nature of the situation.
Woburn’s predicament is a direct result of President Joe Biden’s open border policy and Massachusetts’ right-to-shelter law. The law guarantees every family with children a place to stay, which has attracted migrants to the state. While Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has declared a state of emergency and deployed the National Guard, the Biden administration has done little to address the crisis.
The consequences of these misguided policies are becoming increasingly evident. The Biden administration’s open border policy has led to disastrous outcomes, with Woburn experiencing the effects firsthand. The demand for free benefits provided to migrants is overwhelming the system, highlighting the economic reality that free goods are not sustainable.
Furthermore, the Minnesota carjacking incident serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of defunding the police. Crime becomes more appealing when the cost is reduced, leading to a greater demand for lawlessness. The left’s failure to acknowledge these realities is both hypocritical and dangerous.
The left’s compassion comes at no cost to them, as they advocate for policies that burden others. They call for taxing the rich and wealthy corporations to fund their initiatives, but fail to recognize the economic consequences. Everything has a cost, and the left has no intention of paying it. Instead, they expect others to bear the burden in both blood and dollars.

How does the push to defund the police fail to take into account the importance of law enforcement in maintaining safety and order within communities?
Leadership initially supported the open borders policy, but they quickly realized the negative impact it was having on their community. The increased demand for resources and services was overwhelming, and their ability to effectively support their own residents was compromised.
These are just two examples of the unintended consequences that arise when decisions are made without fully understanding the true cost. The push to defund the police may sound like a noble idea, but it fails to take into account the importance of law enforcement in maintaining safety and order within our communities.
Law enforcement agencies play a critical role in protecting the public and ensuring justice is served. Without proper funding and support, police departments are unable to effectively carry out their duties, leaving communities vulnerable to crime and violence. This can have devastating consequences for individuals and families, as we have seen in the case of Shivanthi Sathanandan and her carjacking incident.
Similarly, the open borders policy may be seen as a compassionate approach to immigration, but it fails to consider the strain it puts on local communities. The sudden influx of migrants can overwhelm schools, healthcare systems, and social services, taking resources away from those who need them most. Woburn’s Mayor Scott Galvin experienced firsthand the challenges of managing an unsustainable situation.
It is important to approach these issues with a comprehensive understanding of the potential consequences. This requires thoughtful consideration of the impact on all stakeholders involved. Policymakers must weigh the immediate benefits against the long-term costs and make informed decisions that prioritize the well-being of their communities.
The true cost of an action may not always be immediately apparent. It requires a deeper analysis and an understanding of the complex web of cause and effect. Ignoring or downplaying the potential consequences can have far-reaching and detrimental effects.
In our pursuit of progress and change, we must not lose sight of the importance of critical thinking and understanding the true cost of our actions. It is through this lens that we can make informed decisions that truly benefit our communities and society as a whole.
