As record numbers of illegal immigrants stream into the US, Democrats continue to look the other way, creating a de facto open Southern Border. First, Vice President Harris – our “Border Czar” – skipped a border security meeting in Mexico. Now, the Administration is quietly cancelling construction contracts in favor of more environmental studies. Perhaps Democrats believe that, instead of a wall, we can guard the border with a wall of regulatory paperwork. These unacceptable and dangerous actions threaten the safety and security of our nation.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:24:51Z |
