We will have more in our editorial on Tuesday on the “Biden border bailout bill,” but I saw this headline from Politico and had to laugh: “Detention and that border ‘shutdown’: What’s really in Biden’s bipartisan immigration deal.” In the article, Jennifer Scholtes and Caitlin Emma report that the Senate border bill has “$8 billion […]

The Chinese government may have found a much easier way to undermine America from within: by infiltrating its open southern borders.  Chinese immigrants are now the fastest-growing number of illegal nationals breaking into the United States.
