How would you answer that question? This was how it was put to me recently and I thought it might be helpful to others to share how I responded. It is my job, of course, to talk about immigration reduction, but it also is something I strongly believe will help Americans, especially the most desperate already among us.

The Biden administration's responses have more so encouraged the surge than quelled it. Reversing the surge requires closing the border to most, non-essential traffic during of the COVID-19 pandemic; Title 42, restarting the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP, or "Remain In Mexico" program), which requires asylum seekers to remain in Mexico until their case can be heard by an immigration judge; and other actions.

Can we have a good-faith debate about limits while the government runs a de facto open borders policy? Enforcement at the border has been essentially abandoned under the Biden Administration and this sea change has been given little notice by the D.C. media corps.
