Folks on Capitol Hill spend a lot of time thinking up clever acronyms for their bills. In the case of the Equal Access to Green cards for Legal Employment (EAGLE) Act, the acronym is not only clever, but descriptive. Aside from being the symbol of our nation, the eagle is a predator known for raiding the nests of other birds and making off with their eggs and chicks – which is a perfect metaphor for H.R. 3648, sponsored by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA).
President Biden, who came to office two years ago with some of the lowest levels of illegal immigration in modern history, largely ignored the historic border crisis he created by devoting only a few lines to it in his State of the Union address on Tuesday.
In a Friday victory lap to show that their policies are working, the Biden administration revealed that there were 156,274 border encounters last month. The White House proudly noted that the new numbers reflect a sharp drop after the 251,978 illegal aliens encountered in December — which marked a record at the border.
The raging border crisis that began the day President Biden took office is clearly by design. His administration wants open borders and they have been wildly successful in achieving that dubious goal.
