We're only just beginning to suffer the consequences of Biden's disastrous open-border policies
The spiteful open-borders legacy of Joe Biden will plague America for generations to come, long after the former president is a fading bad memory. Somewhere between 10 million and 12 million foreign nationals are believed to have entered the United States illegally under his watch, to add to the existing 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens. Almost all were unaudited. 4 America is only just beginning to feel the effects of Joe Biden's disastrous border policies. AFP via Getty Images They stormed the border for four years without background checks of the sort that American citizens must undergo to purchase a firearm or take out a loan. At a time when citizens were expelled from the military for not submitting to the experimental mRNA COVID inoculations, millions of foreign nationals, with the Biden administration's encouragement, crossed the southern border, exempt from any vaccination requirement or medical examination. When Americans were required to present multiple forms of identification to apply for a mandatory 'real ID' to fly in 2025, millions of illegal entrants were flown across the country, often stealthily and under the cover of night, without any valid ID at all. On some days, the Trump administration has managed to deport 800 of Biden's illegal aliens. But 10 times that many entered illegally each day under President Joe Biden. President Donald Trump's border patrol would have to deport over 8,000 people every day of his four-year tenure just to undo what Biden wrought by his dismantling of federal immigration law. Some 500,000 illegal entrants are believed to have criminal records — a number greater than the population of Oakland, Calif. 4 A large group of migrants cross the U.S.-Mexico Border at the Rio Grande river on Tuesday, October 3, 2023 in El Paso, Texas. NYPJ Indeed, new reports relate almost every day that another illegal alien has murdered, raped or assaulted an American citizen. The culpable left often champions violent illegal-alien criminals facing deportation. Their apparent assumption is that hurting Trump politically justifies hurting Americans even more by protecting criminals instead of sending them home. Thousands of these unknown criminals are deadly land mines waiting to explode. There are nearly 300,000 Chinese nationals in American universities, the vast majority admitted without serious background checks. They are welcomed by elite campuses because they pay the full cost and at a premium, with few questions asked about why exactly they came or what they are doing. No wonder, then, that in the last decade, Harvard's Kennedy School of Government is reported to have trained and graduated hundreds of Chinese nationals who were either Communist Party members or the children of prominent Chinese communist apparatchiks. 4 A member of the Texas National Guard uses a riot shield to block the passage of the parents of two small children as they crawl through the concertina wire after crossing the U.S.-Mexico Border at the Rio Grande river on Wednesday, October 4, 2023 in El Paso, Texas. NYPJ In other words, at a time when the United States is locked in an escalating Cold War with China, our universities find great profit in enrolling and educating the communist elite who threaten Taiwan, imprison and oppress the Uyghurs, jail Hong Kong dissidents and send both bio- and agro-terrorists into the United States. Not a day went by during the last two years without Middle Eastern, pro-Hamas visa students on some campus swarming students in libraries, assaulting and bullying Jews, trashing iconic buildings, illegally camping out in student quads and screaming to bring the intifada home to the United States. Neither the Biden administration nor spineless college presidents took any action, despite such flagrant violations of both the terms and spirit of student visas. Most recently, Yunqing Jian, a 33-year-old Chinese national with ties to the University of Michigan, was arrested as an 'agro-terrorist.' The alleged mission of Jian, along with his girlfriend, was to seed toxic fungus into Midwestern farmland as a way of destroying the American food supply and thereby starving his hosts. Sometimes the baleful Biden immigration inheritance was simply a matter of allowing 'tourists' and 'visitors' to stay far after their visas had expired — without consequences. 4 Egyptian national and terrorist, Mohammed Sabry Soliman, along with his entire family, deliberately overstayed their visas. So, for example, Egyptian national and terrorist, Mohammed Sabry Soliman, along with his entire family, deliberately overstayed their visas. They were all residing here illegally when Soliman allegedly firebombed Jews, crying out 'Free Palestine' as he tried to burn them up. Americans overwhelmingly polled against this Biden border nihilism. Indeed, the House impeached his henchman, Alejandro Mayorkas, secretary of Homeland Security. Yet Biden, or his handlers in the shadows, would not stop destroying the borders and immigration law. So why would a president deliberately cause such mayhem that will cost hundreds of lives and billions of dollars in the years to come? Was the reason Biden's characteristic incompetence or dementia? Or did Biden simply want to alter the demography to find a constituency for his otherwise unpopular agendas? Did he wish to grow the welfare state? Was Biden hoping to expand the DEI agenda by bringing in the poor and supposedly oppressed as new fodder in the Left's Marxist binary of victimized versus victimizer? No one knows why Biden did it, only that he did — and we will suffer his nihilist legacy for years to come. Victor Davis Hanson is a distinguished fellow of the Center for American Greatness.

Why Kennedy's Health Reforms Shine in Trump's Honeymoon, With Bigger Wins Ahead
Commentary The first 100 days of a presidency, known as the honeymoon period, are a high-stakes sprint. Armed with an electoral mandate, President Trump holds immense political capital to drive his agenda through executive orders, regulatory reforms, and legislative pushes. As we approach the 100-day mark on April 30, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is capitalizing on this window with bold moves—reorganizing HHS, tackling harmful food dyes, and probing autism's rise. These actions, perfectly timed, set the stage for transformative mid- and long-term reforms. As the former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health in Trump's first administration, I see Kennedy's strategy as a masterclass in political timing, with even greater victories on the horizon. Mastering the Honeymoon's Leverage Trump's slim but unified Congress—53 Senate seats and a House majority—gives Kennedy a rare window to act decisively before 2026 mid-terms risk flipping power. His April actions show he understands this. His reorganization of HHS into the Administration for a Healthy America (AHA), consolidating HR and policy, streamlines a $1.7 trillion bureaucracy before June budget hearings. These executive and personnel moves, paired with FDA Commissioner Marty Makary's April 10 ban on biopharma insiders in advisory roles, cement Kennedy's short-term wins while the administration's mandate is strong. Navigating Political Realities A president's four-year term hinges on two congressional sessions, and history shows mid-terms often punish the ruling party—Trump lost the House in 2018. Kennedy's team knows that failing to deliver risks voter backlash, especially with activist judges using nationwide injunctions to stall reforms. By acting now, before summer recesses and 2026 campaigns, Kennedy maximizes Trump's current control of the executive and legislative branches. His April 16 press conference on autism's rise (one in 31 kids), including a push for environmental toxin studies, keeps HHS in the spotlight. This short-term focus via executive authority builds momentum for complex regulatory and legislative battles ahead. Mid- and Long-Term Horizons Regulatory and legislative approaches, which take longer, are Kennedy's next frontier. Four priorities stand out: Dietary Guidelines Overhaul: Secretary Kennedy's Southwest tour, launched April 4, celebrated Utah and Arizona's bans on school food dyes and SNAP soda purchases. Updating federal dietary guidelines with the USDA, expected by fall 2025, will combat obesity (40 percent of adults) and chronic diseases, building on state momentum. Family Planning Reform: The first Trump administration's Title X rules, separating abortion providers like Planned Parenthood from federal funds, saved millions. Kennedy is poised to reinstate similar regulations by early 2026, aligning with pro-life voters before midterms. mRNA Vaccine Review: Reports suggest HHS may pull mRNA COVID vaccines from childhood schedules, reflecting public skepticism. A regulatory review, likely starting this summer, could redefine vaccine policy. Budget and Structural Reform: Kennedy will work with Congress to strengthen AHA, NIH, FDA, and CDC reforms, capitalizing on DOGE's cuts to propose a leaner HHS budget in 2026, ensuring long-term efficiency. Why Timing Matters Kennedy's first-100-day blitz—executive orders, personnel shifts, and state partnerships—exploits the honeymoon's political capital. By acting before mid-term politicking and judicial roadblocks intensify, he's laying a foundation for durable change. His nutritional focus resonates broadly, avoiding the 60 percent disapproval Michelle Obama faced on school lunches by emphasizing choice. If Secretary Kennedy builds on these wins, delivering regulatory and legislative victories by 2026, Republicans will carry a powerful health message into mid-terms, potentially retaining Congress. It will take more than two years to begin to restore trust in an agency that lost a significant amount of it during the COVID pandemic. But, at this pace, it is clear that even though President Trump and Secretary Kennedy's actions have been impactful, the best is yet to come.
