“Immigration is tough. It always has been because, on the one hand, I think we are naturally a people that wants to help others. And we see tragedy and hardship and families that are desperately trying to get here so that their kids are safe. ... At the same time, we’re a nation state. We have borders. The idea that we can just have open borders is something that ... as a practical matter, is unsustainable.”—Barack Obama, Sept. 28, 2021, interview, Good Morning America
Todd Bensman has published his latest book on illegal immigration, “Overrun: How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S. History.” Bensman currently serves as the Texas-based senior national security fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), a Washington policy institute. His reporting in the book is precise, accurate, and responsible. This is not a book that the reader will easily forget.
