How President Biden is appeasing bad actors

On Dec. 28, the White House issued a joint communiqué with Mexico that created some tension when the American version identified “democratic decline” as one of the root causes of heavy and irregular migration flows at the border. When Mexico’s version excluded that phrase, it was immediately removed from the White House statement to align with the...

Biden’s toll at the U.S. southern border continues to climb

Democrats have no moral high-ground on the issue. The worst tragedies are the preventable ones. Last week, a mother and two children drowned in the treacherous Rio Grande near Eagle Pass, attempting to cross into the U.S. illegally. The Biden administration was quick to blame the state of Texas, but the facts are clear: Biden...

Under Biden, We Don’t Know Who’s Coming Into the US

Emile arrived at the port of entry in Brownsville, Texas “where he was deemed inadmissible and issued a notice to appear,” according to ICE. In 2023, Peruvian national Emilio Vasquez-Santamaria was charged with murder after being arrested...

Arrests have been made in the brutal killing of a pregnant San Antonio woman and her boyfriend—in what police say is a drug-related crime. Savanah Nicole Soto,...

Biden’s border chaos goes global

Central America could be hit hard if US sends back illegal immigrants because of Biden’s border chaos. President Joe Biden’s border crisis started even before he was sworn into office in January 2021, with illegal immigrants rushing the U.S.-Mexico border in anticipation of Biden’s promised lax border enforcement. And who could blame the would-be migrants?...

Biden is begging for Mexico’s help with the border (and his reelection)

Amid one of the worst national security, immigration and public safety crises in U.S. history, President Biden’s attempts to smooth over the crisis at the southern border are actually exacerbating the situation. At this point, he is empowering the very authoritarian regimes responsible for orchestrating the flow of refugees and migrants to the U.S. to begin with....

As Biden’s border disintegrates, Texas Democrats plot with Mexico

Democrats and Mexican officials have responded to Texas’ new law with fear-mongering and threats. President Biden’s border crisis shows no signs of abating as the state of Texas, overwhelmed with would-be migrants, fortifies its defenses with new laws. Chief among the new measures is Senate Bill 4, expected to be signed into law in days by Republican Gov....

Open-Border Policies, Illegal Immigration, and the Dangerous Erosion of the American Dream

Schuster is an immigrant from Yugoslavia. His American Dream, NPR reports, was the ranch he bought 40 years ago in southern California. On...

At the southern U.S. border, there’s less security and more lies

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released its October 2023 monthly update and they did so earlier than usual. That is likely because this federal government is trying to take a victory lap, though the numbers prove that a victory is nowhere in sight. Actually, the Biden administration does tell you the truth, but they are...

The Biden Administration Isn’t Vetting Migrants, No Matter What It Says

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has stated numerous times—publicly and before Congress—that “all non-citizen migrants are vetted before being released into the United States.” So, when you hear the term “vetted,” what does that imply to you?
