Trump Exposed Biden’s Biggest Lie: that the Border Crisis Was ‘Unsolvable’ ([link removed])
By Todd Bensman
NY Post, April 28, 2025
Excerpt: Last year around this time, Vice President Kamala Harris, President Joe Biden, the Democratic Party and liberal commentators insisted the only thing that would fix the greatest border crisis in American history was a special Senate bill, or “comprehensive immigration reform,” or fixing the “root causes.” There was nothing else that could stop the 10 million illegal immigrants whom Biden allowed into the country. It took President Trump approximately one hour to prove them wrong.

By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: The Alien Enemies Act has been rarely used, and Trump’s basis for invoking it is novel. But, in the rush to protect the due process rights of aliens alleged to be members of TdA, a criminal group wreaking havoc across the Americas, the Supreme Court should remember the American people have rights, too — and expectations of their highest court.

Shooting Oneself in the Foot, Venezuela Edition ([link removed])
By Dan Cadman
Excerpt: Clear back in 2019, during Trump 1.0, members of Congress (29 Democrats and 3 Republicans) introduced legislation to mandate the grant of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Venezuelan nationals.
