Summary

Did former President Barack Obama prioritize a scheme to increase and use immigration to achieve political goals? Were Obama’s cronies actually the ones in the driver’s seat during the ramp-up of the Biden administration’s open-borders policies, asks Jack Fowler on this special edition of “Victor Davis Hanson (Minus Victor): In His Own Words” with Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies. Answer: “What happened is that Biden basically just let the activist groups on immigration run immigration policy. And since he wasn’t really president — in other words, he was a very weak executive — they just sort of, you know, ran with it and caused all the problems because … nobody was keeping control and making sure things stayed on track because there was nobody in charge of anything.” 👉Claim your liberty offer of up to $5,000 in free metals with allegiance gold by going to https://www.ProtectWithVictor.com 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest editions of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words” by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
