Ron Strikes Again

Commentary Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has done it again. In using already-appropriated government funds to fly 48 illegal alien Venezuelan migrants from San Antonio, Texas, to the tony blue enclave of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, DeSantis has once again demonstrated his mastery of the political game. For at least the second time this year, with the…


Martha’s Meltdown Model

Commentary Martha’s Vineyard has been all over the news. The tony resort community so loves aiding and comforting the undocumented immigrants who were flown in from Florida that it hugged them—for all of 48 hours. Oddly, the Left became unhinged when red-state governors—whose states the last two years were flooded with some 3 million people…


Greater Danger Means Less Pay

Commentary When President Joe Biden and the Democrats proposed hiring 87,000 new Internal Revenue Service agents (but no new Border Patrol agents) it was a pretty good indication that they were more interested in policing Americans than stopping illegal immigration and securing the border. But if you look a little deeper, you find that this…


Immigration and Roosting Chickens

Commentary The saying “the chickens have come home to roost” seems to apply to the immigration policies of the Biden administration, sanctuary cities and states. Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) and Gov. Doug Ducey (R-Ariz.) have been sending hundreds of people who have illegally crossed the border into their states to Chicago, New York, Washington, D.C., and Delaware. Gov….


Vice President Harris Says Border Is ‘Secure.’ Now Migrants Are Showing Up at Her House.

Commentary The border crisis isn’t just going north, it’s showing up at the vice’s president’s doorstep. On Sunday, Vice President Kamala Harris insisted that the southern border was “secure” in an interview on “Meet the Press.” “The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system, in particular, over the last four years before we…


Biden’s Policies Fueling Illegal Immigration Crisis, Border Patrol Chief Says in Deposition

Commentary The border surge of the past 18 months is a crisis of the Biden administration’s own making. That’s the conclusion to be drawn from a video of a July 28 deposition by Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz. The video, which was part of discovery in a lawsuit by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, was…


The Border Goes North, and Blue City Mayors Melt Down

Commentary The border has come to northern, blue cities—and Democrats aren’t handling it well. July’s border numbers are in, and the Biden administration again has set an all-time record for unlawful crossings, surpassing 2021’s historic numbers. Most legacy and corporate media dodged this historic crisis, which began almost immediately under President Joe Biden’s watch. It’s typically easy…


Of Migrants and Mayors, Busloads and Budgets

Commentary Monday morning saw another busload of illegal border crossers arrive at New York City’s Port Authority terminal. The city’s commissioner of immigrant affairs, Manuel Castro, was there to personally welcome 52 people off the bus, of whom 80 percent were single men, witnesses said. “Many other people who are here have told us that the families…


To ID, or Not to ID?

Commentary During recent election seasons there has been a debate over whether a voter must present an identification card to cast a ballot and if so, what type? Congressional Democrats are considering legislation that would provide secure identification cards, not to U.S. citizens for the purpose of voting, but to those who crossed our southern border…


Amid Record Illegal Immigration, Mayorkas Insists Border Is ‘Secure.’ What Would Unsecured Look Like?

Commentary Millions of people have illegally crossed the southern border into the United States in the past few years, but the Biden administration says everything is fine, with “nothing to see here.” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas even said last week that the southern border is “secure.” With scant evidence or justification, he’s been repeating that “secure” line since…
