Border Security Is a Critical National Defense Issue
At least 8 million illegal immigrants (10 million by some estimates) have entered the U.S. since January 2021, the month President Joe Biden rescinded Trump administration executive orders that had dramatically curbed criminal immigration. The Trump administration used executive authority to defend American borders.
Alas, another inconvenient truth for media leftists: The president doesn't need congressional legislation to defend the border. As commander in chief, he/she has the executive muscle to order strict enforcement of U.S. immigration, anti-smuggling, anti-drug, anti-terror laws, etc.
Or a lawbreaking president, like Biden, can tell the Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection and even the Drug Enforcement Administration to look the other way.
Another inconvenient reality: Look away and criminals and terrorists penetrate U.S. borders and commit murder -- like the Venezuelan criminal who murdered Laken Riley in Athens, Georgia.
Hence another inconvenient fact: Any president who permits criminal and terrorist penetration is guilty of dereliction of duty, perhaps even treason.
Why treason, a constitutional-rattling charge? Because the president has made America vulnerable to invasion.
In 2022, "invasion" was not a rhetorical exaggeration if you lived in overrun Eagle Pass, Texas. Tens of thousands of illegals crossed the border sector every day.
Then Texas Gov. Greg Abbot began busing criminal immigrants to northern sanctuary cities. To be accurate, the Biden administration has been secretly flying illegals to airports throughout the country, but only Fox News and a few brave internet sites covered the lawless president's surreptitious penetration.
But deep penetration has had consequences. In the last seven to eight months, politically liberal northern and western cities have begun to battle the criminal chaos, economic and social damage and medical risks spawned by mass illegal immigration.
Now even smug New York City screams about the billions of dollars it must spend to house, feed and care for even 100,000 immigrants -- though Biden administration language monitors insist on calling them newcomers.
