Welcome to The Kevin Jackson Show!

You know, one of the most fascinating things about politics is how quickly people move from confidence to legal defense funds.

One day you're the future of the party.

The next day you're hiring attorneys.

That's not a career path. That's a weather forecast.

And speaking of forecasts, have you noticed how quiet the southern border has gotten?

Remember when we were told the border was impossible to secure? Remember when we were informed that millions of people pouring into the country was simply the new normal? We were told that walls don't work. Enforcement doesn't work. Deportation doesn't work. Deterrence doesn't work.

Turns out the only thing that didn't work was the political will.

Illegal immigration has slowed to what can only be described as a trickle compared to the flood Americans endured for years. Not because geography changed. Not because the Rio Grande dried up. Not because coyotes suddenly found religion.

Policy changed.

And now the United States is reportedly working with other countries as part of a much broader deportation strategy. Think about how remarkable that is.

For years Washington acted like deporting people was harder than building a nuclear reactor. Suddenly we're coordinating internationally.

It's almost as if the problem was never capability.

It was desire.

Meanwhile, Senator Ruben Gallego has launched a legal defense fund.

Now that's interesting.

Very interesting.

Because politicians don't generally establish legal defense funds the way people start Christmas clubs.

Nobody says, "You know what? Nothing's wrong, but let's raise money for lawyers."

That's not how it works.
