With the exception of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, all other candidates have made securing the U.S.-Mexican border a priority. While the U.S.-Mexican border must be made secure, the goal of securing that border is as deceptive as are the claims of the administration that the borders have never been more secure.
Purely focusing on the U.S.-Mexican border ignores the fact that, as I have noted in many articles and testimony at congressional hearings, the United States is a nation of 50 “border states.”
On July 6, 2014, FrontPage Magazine posted my article, “Border Security and the Immigration Colander – Why the breakdown of the Southwest border is only the tip of the iceberg.” I followed up on the issue of how many “border states” the United States actually has and how the false narrative that all that the U.S. has to address is the lack of security of our southwest border in my February 4, 2015, FrontPage Magazine article, “The ‘Secure Our Border First Act’ Deception – Why it’s no solution to the immigration crisis.”
