As soon as President Joe Biden took office, the number of foreigners crossing the southern U.S. border illegally exploded. When asked about it in his first press conference in March 2021, Biden brushed it off, saying “this happens every year” and “nothing has changed.”
Later that same month, Biden claimed that “this new surge we’re dealing with now started with the last administration, but it’s our responsibility to deal with it humanely and to — and to stop what’s happening.”
At his State of the Union address this year, he said that “if we are to advance liberty and justice, we need to secure the border and fix the immigration system.”
As recently as June, Biden was claiming to be on top of this crisis, saying that “as we speak, Mexico and the United States are conducting what is known as ‘mirror patrols’ — joint operations to interdict criminals attempting to illegally move drugs and migrants across our borders.”
He wasn’t the only one throwing smoke. Vice President Kamala Harris in June 2021 had this to say: “I am immensely proud to lead the workforce — the men and women of DHS — in executing our responsibility to secure the border.” She claimed to be tackling the “root causes” of illegal immigration.
And who can forget the many times that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas asserted that the “border is secure” — a lie he repeated as recently as July.
This chart proves that everything Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas have said about tackling the border crisis were flagrant lies. The chart compares monthly “apprehensions” at the border under Biden with the average monthly apprehensions from 2012 through 2020.

The truly shocking thing about this turn of events is that the mainstream press has let Biden get away with it. They have zero interest in the border, or did, at least, until the Texas and Arizona governors started busing a handful of the 2 million who’ve crossed over to New York and Washington, D.C.
When those cities got a tiny whiff of what border states have been suffering, suddenly it was a problem. Not that illegals were invading the country, but that they were being forced to cope with it at all.

Gov. Abbott has exposed their hypocrisy by bussing a few of the migrants to DC and New York. I think he should also be shipping them to Deleware and Martha's Vinyard and other liberal hot spots.
The head of TSA has said that 'under 1,000' illegal immigrants have boarded with arrest warrants this year

A global war on insurgency Roxanna Tiron: The anti-insurgency tactics the U.S. military is learning in Iraq could be applied globally, which would turn the war on terrorism into a “war on insurgency,” said Lt. Gen. William Boykin, deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence and war fighting support. “My position is that this is a global insurgency,” said Boykin during a forum on special operations and low intensity conflict. In Iraq and other trouble spots, the United States has to come to grips with the nature of the enemy, he explained. “It is a web of networks that come together in a coalition of convenience. There are links to drug trafficking, money laundering and the like,” he said. An insurgency is a political-military activity, in which the political aspects are much more ...
DailyWire: Harmeet K. Dhillon, founder of the Dhillon Law Group Inc., blasted Democrats’ claims of race-based voter suppression while pointing out the real threat to U.S. election integrity: the federalization of election law. Dhillon and her law firm are representing The Daily Wire in its legal challenge against the Biden administration’s order mandating that large employers either vaccinate or mask and COVID-19 test all their employees. The Supreme Court stayed the order on January 13 in a major blow to the government. Roughly two weeks later, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration withdrew the rule to reassess its implementation. Dhillon is set to appear on “The Ben Shapiro: Sunday Special” episode airing Sunday, January 30. During the episode, Dhillon and host Ben Shapiro cover topics from the Supreme Court’s recent decision to stay President Joe Biden’s vaccine order for large employers and conservatives’ reluctance to engage in “lawfare” with Democrats. When th...
Gregg Roman: ... Although administration officials have been reluctant to explain the precise reasoning behind their last-minute series of attacks on Israel, as near as I can tell it rests on three assumptions. The first, as Kerry outlined in his speech, is that a freeze on Israeli settlement growth makes it easier for Palestinian negotiators to make painful compromises at the negotiating table. It supposedly does this by easing Palestinian suspicions that Israel either won't make major territorial concessions at the negotiating table, or won't implement these concessions once made. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu put this assumption to the test in November 2009 when he imposed a 10-month moratorium on new housing construction (East Jerusalem excepted) at the urging of the Obama administration. What happened? Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas refused to return to talks until the very end of the moratorium and remained every bit as intransigent as ...
