Mark Krikorian is a nationally recognized expert on immigration issues serving as the executive director of Center for Immigration Studies.  They are an independent, non-partisan research organization examining and critiquing the impact of immigration on the United States.  He has testified numerous times before Congress and has published articles in many outlets.

Jim opened this edition of Crosstalk with headlines pointing to the consequences of the lax border control policies of the Biden/Harris administration.  They dismantled the Trump border security initiatives and the result has been havoc all  over the country.  Social Services are also being stretched where U.S. citizens are either being delayed or outright denied services.  Finally, there is great suspicion as to whether those who are hear illegally are being registered to vote and plan to participate in the November election.

Mark responded by noting that there is talk of a decline at the border.  However, he believes part of it is real and part of it is fake.  The real part is that in order to make certain Trump doesn’t win the election, the Mexican government is engineering an interruption in the flow of illegal aliens.  That way the Biden/Harris administration can say they fixed the problem.  On the other hand, the fake part is that the goal of the current administration all along has been to reduce illegal crossings at the border by unlawfully waiving in illegals through the normal ports of entry and airports.

Here’s how it works.  Mark noted how the government has two programs where they use parole, which is limited immigration power.  Under this scenario, the president can let someone in who has no right to be here.  This might involve someone with a serious medical concern or someone who is required to testify in a trial and they can’t get a visa.  The person handles their business and they are escorted back to the border.  Through this small emergency power, the Biden/Harris administration has let in over 2 million people while also giving them work permits.

This is why part of the drop in illegals is fake.  It’s because we have a government that in one sense, is conspiring with illegal immigrants to schedule their illegal immigration through the regular ports of entry. 

This is just the opening salvo in a program that is packed with information that you need to hear if you want to stay informed with the truth about our border situation.
