Amid the documentation of illegal immigrants crossing the border and committing crimes, the urgency of this issue has been overshadowed by political rhetoric. President Joe Biden’s stance has been inconsistent, initially promising to reverse Trump-era immigration policies in 2020 but more recently supporting a Senate plan to establish daily crossing limits this year. 

There is a notable hypocrisy on the Left when discussing illegal immigration. The leader of Texas’s most populated county, Harris County, fell into the same trap when she spoke about a group of illegal immigrants assaulting and strangling a 12-year-old girl. A Harris County court heard how Jocelyn Nungaray’s hands were bound behind her back during the brutal assault, then how she was strangled and dumped in a bayou.
