Anderson: Biden’s damaging open-border doctrine, by the numbers

By Jeffrey H. Anderson | Commentary, Real Clear Politics Most mainstream press accounts have largely ignored one obvious source of the Los Angeles riots – namely, that the Biden administration released more than enough illegal aliens into this country to populate a wholly new Los Angeles. In the aftermath of those riots, it’s an appropriate time to ask this question: How many illegal aliens did the Biden administration actually let into the United States? According to the Congressional Budget Office, during the four years from 2021 through 2024, a net 10.3 million people immigrated to the U.S. That figure reflects the number of (legal or illegal) immigrants who entered the U.S., minus the number who left.

Inside VP J.D. Vance’s tone-setting trip to the U.S.-Mexico border

By Reagan Reese | The Daily Caller As the vice president’s motorcade zipped by a long stretch of border wall Tuesday, the barrier quickly turned from solid structure to a patchwork of old train cars and razor wire. The motorcade turned into Shelby Park, an area Gov. Greg Abbott seized so officials could put up razor wire and barriers to help deter crossings coming from the Rio Grande. Standing in the middle of the park at a podium, the location quickly became symbolic of how the administration is addressing the border crisis. “I think the president’s hope is that by the end of the term, we build the entire border wall.

10,000 troops headed to seal the southern border, as Trump shuts down asylum process

By Jamie McIntyre | Washington Examiner TRUMP ‘EXPECTS IMMEDIATE RESULTS’ AT THE BORDER:  Robert Salesses may only be acting secretary of defense for a short time, but he’s acting with dispatch to carry out President Donald Trump’s executive order that “suspends the physical entry of aliens engaged in an invasion of the United States through the southern border.” After a Monday meeting with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and commanders of the U.S. Northern Command, Transportation Command, and National Guard, Salesses established a task force to carry out “expedited implementation” of Trump’s orders to obtain “complete operational control of the southern border of the United States.” “DOD will begin augmenting its forces at the southwest border w...
