Recent reports on illegal immigration at the U.S. Southern border may not be as they seem. While initial figures suggest a decrease in illegal crossings, a closer look reveals a different story. Lora Ries, director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, points out that relaxed parole rules are channeling immigrants through ports of entry, giving a false impression of decreased influx. The actual number of illegal and inadmissible aliens remains alarmingly high. The Biden administration’s policies and omissions in reporting contribute to a skewed perspective on the situation. Transparency and accurate data are crucial in understanding the true impact of immigration. The public deserves honest reporting and a comprehensive approach to border security.
