Pres. Biden instituted open-border policies beginning on Day One of his administration: 94 executive actions worth. He could reverse them today and help bring these record-breaking numbers down, but he won't because he's still not serious about addressing this crisis.
The first 2024 IAVA Leadership in Government award goes to
@JohnBoozman

Enjoyed sitting down with representatives from
@GlassNation
