| by Suzanne Bowdey |

| Leftist Immigration Policies Waste Billions of Dollars and Undermine Election Integrity |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Several U.S. states and cities have embraced the president's policy of a wide-open southern border, which has allowed millions of illegal immigrants to flood in. Not only are they treated better than U.S. citizens in many cases, receiving taxpayer funded housing, food, education, and health care, they have also contributed to an increase of violent crimes including harassment, rape, theft, and murder - not to mention the escalation in threats from people on the terror watchlist. But these harsh realities didn't stop Denver Mayor Mike Johnston (D) from addressing them as "newcomers" in a recent announcement. |
