The Biden administration's immigration programs have helped the US live up to its long-held philosophy of accepting immigrants. Over the past year, the Dept. of Homeland Security secured tens of millions of dollars to implement new programs for assessing asylum applications at a record pace. As the US faces unprecedented numbers of migrants fleeing persecution, the department should continue this trend and ensure every legitimate asylum seeker receives a shot at a better life in America.
The government’s primary duty is to protect and put its citizens first. With millions of illegals crossing into border states just last year — imposing financial and physical threats to the Americans who live there — it's about time states utilize the constitutional powers given to them, as Biden's federal agents refuse to conduct the deportations they so desperately need, and secure their own borders.
