DHS Secretary Gives Lip Service to Fighting Human Trafficking ([link removed])
By Jessica Vaughan
DC Journal, January 31, 2024
Excerpt: This is a laudable effort, but it is tragically undermined by the reality that DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas happens to be one of the most significant enablers of human trafficking. The mass migration crisis triggered by reckless open border policies that Mayorkas put in place has caused incalculable harm not only to American communities and the integrity of our immigration system but also, tragically, to many of the migrants themselves, who are lured into the clutches of traffickers.

Biden’s Shameful Border Legacy in Tennessee Is Human Trafficking ([link removed])
By Jessica Vaughan
The Tennessee Star, January 31, 2024
Excerpt: From the very beginning of his presidency, President Biden began dismantling a long list of policies that had succeeded in controlling the years-long wave of illegal migrants exploiting our dysfunctional asylum system and court rulings mandating the release of minors and those arriving with minors into the country.

Immigration, Border Are Key Issues in Swing-State Polling ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: The poll results help explain why President Biden is calling an unseen (and possibly non-existent) Senate border compromise bill “the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border we’ve ever had in our country” -- he’s desperate to distract key voters away from the failures of his feckless border policies.
The Convoluted Politics of the Senate Border ‘Bill’ ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: The inconvenient fact that there is no bill language yet — and apparently no real agreement — hasn’t stopped either the White House or the president’s allies in the media from spinning the whole thing to the president’s political advantage.

Biden’s Border Policies and the Limits — and Excesses — of the Bureaucratic State ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: The Supreme Court has ruled that no one can sue to force the president enforce the law. The Court said it comes down to a "test of strength" between Congress and the president.
