The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) takes a lot of the heat for the crumbling border and the chaos it causes in our communities for good reason. The Republicans in the House of Representatives are talking seriously about impeaching Secretary Mayorkas for his total abdication of responsibility to enforce our immigration laws and for endangering the public he’s sworn to protect. But a shocking (if you have not been reading this blog) New York Times investigation should put Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Xavier Beccera squarely in the crosshairs of House oversight efforts.

To continue on the projected path of immigration-driven demand on a dwindling, life-giving resource would be...something less than wise. Between overstays and gottaways, we have a million additional people looking for illegal employment opportunities every year.

The United States has one of the highest per capita consumption rates in the world. Population growth here has a greater impact than in other countries. Unsustainably-high levels of legal and illegal immigration undercut any good-faith effort to reduce overall consumption and emissions.

New Proposed Asylum Rule is All Smoke, Little Fire
