Summary

Say hello to your new neighbors—12 million of them. Under the Biden Administration, illegal border crossings jumped to record numbers. Yet within 8 weeks of President Trump assuming office, border crossings plunged to the lowest in decades. On this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” VDH breaks down the step-by-step invasion on our southern border that was intricately planned and encouraged by Democrats. “Never in the history of the United States, within four years, did the government, by intent, destroy the border, and welcome in 12 million people.” Meanwhile, Americans needed proof of vaccination or faced being fired from their jobs. “I suppose they thought that maybe people who were coming in without English, without high school diplomas, for the most part, without capital, and without skills would be dependent on federal charges.” If you can’t get enough of Victor Davis Hanson from The Daily Signal, subscribe to his official YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@victordavishanson7273 He’s also the host of “The Victor Davis Hanson Show,” available wherever you prefer to watch or listen.
