On Day One of his second Presidency, Donald Trump took action to stem what is arguably the most catastrophic ongoing crisis the previous administration of Joe Biden has engendered: the opened floodgates of illegal immigration at our southern border.
A nation without a secure border and enforced immigration laws is a nation at serious risk of collapse due to threats ranging from system overload to drug- and human trafficking to terrorism. This is especially the case with the United States, still the world’s preeminent beacon of liberty and prosperity, which makes it both a promised land for millions fleeing poverty and oppression, and a target for ideological enemies both external and internal who would subvert and destroy her.
Among other historic measures to reverse the tide of the radical Left’s “fundamental transformation” of our country, Trump declared this border crisis to be exactly what it is – a national emergency – and signed an executive order on Monday ordering the deployment of 1,500 active-duty servicemembers to the border with Mexico. “Clarifying the Military’s Role in Protecting the Territorial Integrity of the United States” was one of ten executive orders he signed that day related to border security and illegal immigration.
“A National Emergency currently exists along the southern border of the United States,” the order reads:
Unchecked unlawful mass migration and the unimpeded flow of opiates across our borders continue to endanger the safety and security of the American people and encourage further lawlessness. Accordingly, through this order, I am acting in accordance with my solemn duty to protect and defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the United States along our national borders.
