Despite Biden’s Border Wall Flip-Flop, It’s Too Late to Mend Fences
By Andrew Arthur
New York Post, October 6, 2023
Excerpt: Resuming border construction will help, but without a shift in the administration’s catch-and-release policies, it’s all for show, simply speeding up the rate at which agents can apprehend the migrants the administration will then force it to cut loose. Sen. Biden, circa 2007, would likely look at all this and say, “C’mon man, we can do better.” We need that Joe Biden back.

By Todd Bensman

The Mexican Consul Must Leave
By Philip Linderman
American Conservative, September 29, 2023
Excerpt: It is past time for the U.S. State Department to declare the Mexican Consul Juan Sabines persona non grata and ask him to leave the country for behavior inconsistent with his diplomatic status.

By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: The headline read “With Unrealistic Immigration Proposals, DeSantis and Trump Try to Outdo Each Other”, but none of the proposals advanced by either candidate appears to be anything other than what the law demands. Of course, it would help if the “Gray Lady” didn’t wildly underestimate Biden’s border releases.

Irony: If You Can Only Afford an Airline Ticket, You Can Come to the U.S. Easily; If You Can Put up $800,000, It Is Much More Difficult
By David North
Excerpt: If your family can put up $800,000 or more in a Homeland Security-approved investment in the EB-5 (immigrant investor program), you have trouble getting in (even though you may get through eventually). In fact, a vast majority of the visas available for this program for the last five years have not been used.
