WASHINGTON - Since his days on the campaign trail, President Joe Biden has tried to cast himself as diametrically opposed to Donald Trump when it comes to welcoming refugees into the United States.
Within two weeks of taking office, Biden signed an executive order to rebuild and enhance federal programs to resettle refugees - programs he said had been badly damaged under the Trump administration. Biden also revoked some restrictive immigration policies that Trump had put in place, including ones that sought to bar refugees from some countries. In February, Biden announced that he was raising the annual cap on refugee admissions to 125,000 for the fiscal year that starts Oct. 1, up from Trump s historically low limit of 15,000.

This article contains commentary which reflects the author s opinion
The Biden administrations border crisis is getting worse by the day, and their solution to the problem is apparently to leverage illegals into possible future votes.
According to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies, the Biden administration is using a disturbing new policy being called catch-and-bus.
Under this policy, they are using taxpayer dollars to bus illegal immigrants caught at the U.S.-Mexico border to different states in America.
Heres the kicker: the report states the Biden administration is bussing many of these illegals to Red states, meaning those that lean Republican.
