Earlier this month, President Biden took credit for the July inflation rate being “only” 8.5 percent. Now that July border numbers are finally public, the White House may take credit for the fact that “only” 199,976 illegal aliens crossed our border, down from 207,416 in June. A minor drop in border encounters is not encouraging. Traditionally, numbers drop in the hottest summer months, and last month’s figures actually represent a 325 percent increase over the average number of July apprehensions under the Trump administration. . . .

Greg Abbott may have “tricked” them into coming to the nation’s capital.

Since earlier this year, Abbott and Republican Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey have been bussing illegal aliens imported into the country by the Biden administration to Washington, D.C., so the powers that be can get a first-hand look at the crisis they’ve created. Sanctuary city mayors like Bowser have been coldly indifferent to the suffering of border states as they endured the consequences of Biden’s disastrous immigration agenda. Now that a small amount of that burden has landed in their fiefdoms, they are livid. . . . Read more about Leftist Elites: Illegal Aliens For Thee, Not For Me

Two years into his term, he has ensured the exact opposite for not only Americans, but also anyone capitalizing on his open borders policy agenda. . . . Read more about Biden’s Body Count

The state of Texas has resumed intensified truck inspections after 53 migrants died in a tractor-trailer rig. But unlike the previous program that snarled border traffic for miles, the new checkpoints will pull back and spread out along smuggling corridors that lead to San Antonio, Houston and Dallas.                                                                                                                                                         Gov. Greg Abbott had suspended his state’s enhanced border inspections after signing security agreements with four northern Mexico governors.
