Biden's border crisis: What's the president's real plan and his ultimate endgame?
Fox News
President Biden won't admit his administration's official policy and endgame on the border and immigration. We're left to figure out his objectives on our own.
Chuck DeVore is a vice president with the Texas Public Policy Foundation, served in the California legislature for six years, and is a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel.
Other than repeating the risible lie that "the border is secure" the Biden White House has articulated no coherent immigration or border security policy. As a result, we can only judge the administration by its words and deeds.
In contrast, like it or not, we knew what former President Donald Trump’s border policy was: secure the border and limit entry into the U.S. to those with legitimate claims under our laws. As a result, the number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. declined from about 11.5 million in January 2019 to 10.2 million when Biden took office in January 2021. We also know the effect of Trump’s policies: record low unemployment for minorities and women and strong growth in real wages – until COVID-19 hit.
