The Federalist: Biden Engineered A Border Crisis To Secure Political Power
The Biden administration's handling of the southern border crisis from 2021 to 2024 is characterized as a deliberate strategy to overwhelm the immigration system and enhance Democratic political power. With over 10.8 million encounters reported, the administration introduced programs like the CHNV parole program, which faced legal challenges and concerns over fraud and criminality.
A recent court ruling has complicated efforts to revoke the legal status of over 530,000 migrants from this program, requiring individual evaluations that could take decades. Critics argue this approach serves to dilute representation for American citizens while increasing electoral influence for Democrats, as noncitizens are allowed to vote in some local elections.
Fox News: Bondi defiant, says Abrego Garcia will stay in El Salvador 'end of the story'
Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that the decision regarding the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant wrongfully deported to El Salvador, lies with President Nayib Bukele. Despite court orders for the Trump administration to facilitate his return, Bondi emphasized that Abrego Garcia is not a U.S. citizen and remains in El Salvador's custody.
Bondi reiterated that if El Salvador chooses to send Abrego Garcia back, the U.S. would assist, but ultimately the matter is in the hands of the Salvadoran government. The courts have mandated due process protections for individuals facing deportation, but have not required Abrego Garcia's return to the U.S.
