Here is the Heritage Take on the top issues today.Please reply to this email to arrange an interview.

Biden's Border Crisis Is A Constitutional Crisis <[link removed]> – What we’re seeing in Del Rio is the definition of an open-border policy, and the most inhumane approach to border security possible. Americans should be angry. They should be angry at the Biden administration for embracing open-borders policies that have sparked the worst border crisis in American history. They should be angry that Border Patrol has been forced to stop patrolling 224 miles of border in order to deal with these new crises. The American people are tired of being treated as second-class citizens by their own government. They are tired of being told they must completely alter their lives due to COVID, while illegal aliens aren’t even required to be tested for COVID before being released into the United States. So-called ‘moderate’ lawmakers like Joe Manchin and other Senate Democrats bear some responsibility for the breakdown and the chaos at the border for trying to ram through a mass amnesty. Americans must make clear there will be consequences for this behavior. Democrats must abandon their mad rush to get amnesty via reconciliation. Heritage experts: Lora Ries <[link removed]> and Mike Howell <[link removed]>

Big Tech’s conservative censorship inescapable and irrefutable <[link removed]> – Examples of Big Tech censorship are inescapable and irrefutable. Sometimes they are brazen and outright; other times, they are dressed up in vague platitudes about “objectionable content.” But the outcome is still the same—voices that these left-leaning companies don’t agree with are deemed “unacceptable” and are silenced. Big Tech’s influence over everyday American life
continues to grow. We must establish clear standards for how these companies behave—and mechanisms to hold them accountable when they don’t. Heritage expert: Jim Carafano <[link removed]>
Why Joe Biden’s UN Speech Was A Total Flop <[link removed]> – Biden proudly announced that “as we close
this period of relentless war, we’re opening a new era of relentless diplomacy.” Yet “relentless diplomacy” was nowhere to be seen as U.S. forces scuttled from the Bagram base. Afghans, NATO allies and other partners on the ground were not consulted, their subsequent complaints dismissed. What about the reassurances that the U.S. is resolute in its opposition to terrorism, with “over the horizon” capabilities to protect homeland? Those words were belied by the recent drone strike that killed aid workers and children. Nor did the disconnect between word and deed end at Afghanistan. Glaringly absent from Biden’s speech: China. Aside from an easily missed reference to Xinjiang as an example of human rights concerns, Biden studiously avoided the issue. Rather, the president spun the fairy tale that “as a global community… our own success is bound up in others succeeding as well. To deliver for our own people we must also engage deeply with the rest of the world.” Heart-warming, but the People’s Republic of China does not subscribe to this philosophy. Heritage expert: Brett Schaefer <[link removed]>
11 Examples of Defensive Gun Use That Bid ‘Good Riddance’ to Biden’s ATF Nominee <[link removed]> – Government officials—especially unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats—ought not to be in the business of restricting Americans’ enumerated rights and mocking those who choose to exercise those rights for the first time. Broadly imposed and highly restrictive gun control measures such as those supported by Chipman
would not make a single innocent person in the circumstances above any safer from violent threats to their lives and liberties. But Chipman’s preferred policies and government-sanctioned scorn for their gun ownership may well have acted as barriers to the one thing that actually kept them safe—the lawful exercise of their Second Amendment
rights. Heritage expert: Amy Swearer <[link removed]>

Does school choice need bipartisan support? An empirical analysis of the legislative record <[link removed]> – Private schools are barred from receiving voucher funds if they teach creationism or other topics deemed objectionable. As a condition for participating in the program, private schools may be forced to alter or abandon admission requirements altogether. All the while, bipartisan reformers assume the mantle of equity, social justice, and moral righteousness in their public communications. Has this decades-old strategy of courting Democrats been effective? Conventional wisdom holds that choice programs cannot be enacted without a bipartisan coalition of reform-friendly Democrats. Yet this proposition has rarely been examined empirically. Heritage expert: Jay Greene <[link removed]>
