Dying civilizations reveal themselves in familiar ways. Faith is abandoned, culture is drained of meaning, and the will to defend the home is eroded. But there are two unmistakable signs that a civilization is in mortal danger: when its people cease to build families — and when it tolerates invasion without resistance. In 2006, Pat Buchanan raised a warning to the American people: “We are entered upon the final act of our civilization. The last scene is the deconstruction of the nations. The penultimate scene, now well underway, is the invasion unresisted.” What the American people are witnessing in Los Angeles is that penultimate scene. Flying the flags of foreign lands, the barbarians have stormed the gates. They bear no loyalty to America, no reverence for her inheritance, and no desire to become part of her family. Millions of deportable aliens fill American cities and hold American jobs, but they are strangers in our midst. Not because sanctuary cities like Los Angeles have failed to welcome them, but because they intend to tear down the permanent things that make this nation worth belonging to. The Republic has been invaded. We need mass deportations. Not someday. Now. Mass deportations are fiscally responsible, morally just, and politically popular. Flying someone safely home is possibly the most merciful consequence for violating our laws. Mass deportation is not extreme — it is the moderate, moral alternative to chaos that any serious nation would take to defend its borders. And while some might criticize the amount of funding that this endeavor requires, you can’t put a price on the safety and well-being of the American people. Approximately 18.6 million illegal aliens reside in the United States. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a backlog of more than nine million pending immigration benefit applications. Another 3.5 million cases are backlogged in the DOJ immigration court system. To restore our immigration system (both legal and illegal), we should pause intake of additional applications, including employment authorization documents. In the meantime, the administration can work to remove all deportable aliens between now and January 19, 2029. This will take both resources and courage — but the American people support the goal. Six months into the Trump administration, the President’s approval rating on immigration is “surging like a rocket,” according to CNN. Now, Congress must act — and pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act with urgency. The President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, is calling for protests in the United States and threatening mobilizations over a minuscule 3.5% tax on remittances. In response to such threats, Congress should use reconciliation to increase the remittance tax to at least 15% — as Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has rightfully proposed. It is immoral for foreigners to break our laws, only to then wire dollars that ultimately fund the regimes and networks undermining us. Congress must also do its job and deliver all the resources necessary to enforce our laws and restore order: expanded ICE funding for detention beds, agents, transportation, and legal support; the permanent codification of President Trump’s proven border policies; and the end of legal gamesmanship that allows illegal aliens to exploit endless appeals and paralyze the system. Deportable aliens who are put into removal proceedings should not be granted endless chances to delay justice. They previously had due process opportunities to apply for a visa or refugee protection to lawfully enter the U.S. and, once in the U.S., to seek a lawful benefit, including asylum, with DHS. Once an alien is in removal proceedings, the only question should be: is the alien deportable as charged? The days of surrendering our sovereignty to process lawyers and activist judges must end. We must institute mandatory E-Verify. No work permits should be granted unless — and until — an immigration benefit has been lawfully approved. Simply filing an application must not become a backdoor pass to employment in the United States. The rule must be simple: no approval, no work. Asylum fraud is the Trojan horse of the current crisis. We must close it. And we must end universal birthright citizenship and chain migration. Only the children of American citizens should have automatic birthright citizenship. And family-based immigration means nuclear family only. Gone will be the days of migration chains that allow aliens, not Americans, to decide who comes here permanently. Mass deportations are necessary not only to bring back law and order and protect the working class, but also to restore the full political rights of every American. While the Trump administration has rightfully prioritized the deportations of violent criminals, mass deportations require extending far beyond that. Allowing any illegal alien to stay not only erodes law and order but undermines the blessings of American citizenship — especially for those in deep-blue states. The American people are ready. The President is ready. Now Congress must be ready. We will not witness the end of the American Republic — unless we choose to. * * * Kevin Roberts, Ph.D., is president of The Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action for America.

Nebraska recently passed a law making it illegal for men to participate in women’s sports. The law also recognizes only two distinct and separate identities—male and female, as categorized by their reproductive systems. The “Stand With Women” Act states, “Males and females possess unique and immutable differences” that are “enduring.” It passed in the Nebraska Legislature by a 33-16 vote. The bill’s passage follows an executive order from President Donald Trump earlier this year titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” and his administration’s push for defining sex in federal law as strictly “male” or “female.” “This legislation achieves a key goal—protecting girls and women’s sports. It’s just common sense that girls shouldn’t have to compete against biological boys,” said Gov. Jim Pillen. Pillen signed the bill into law on June 4, according to his office. The text of the law states: “On average, male athletes are bigger, faster, stronger, and more physically powerful than their female counterparts. This results in a significant sports performance gap between the sexes. Because of the physical differences between males and females, having separate athletic teams based on the sex of the athlete reduces the chance of injury to female athletes, promotes equality between the sexes, provides opportunities for female athletes to compete against their female peers rather than against male athletes, and allows female athletes to compete on a fair playing field for scholarships and other athletic accomplishments.” According to Liberty Counsel, a nonprofit organization that advocates for religious liberty and the sanctity of life, “The law directs all interscholastic sports teams in the state from K-12 public schools, private schools, and colleges and universities ‘whose students or teams compete against a public school in an interscholastic sport, or a private school that is a member of an athletic association’ to be ‘expressly designated’ based on biological sex.” In 2020, Idaho became the first state to establish a law to prohibit men from playing in women’s sports, according to Concerned Women for America, a public policy advocacy organization that focuses on cultural issues. With the addition of Nebraska, there are now 27 states that have a law protecting women’s and girls sports, according to Liberty Counsel.
