President Biden needs to man up and make a strong deal to harden the US border in exchange for OKing aid to Ukraine.
It’s the right thing to do for every reason.
The US border is, put simply, no longer a border, as even the president apparently now admits.
December shattered all records for CBP encounters, with more than 276,000.
Seven million migrants have been arrested crossing over from Mexico since Biden took office; more than 85% were later released into the US.
And that doesn’t even count the “gotaways,” migrants seen but not stopped, who total more than 1.5 million (or those never even seen by the overwhelmed Border Patrol).
