23 Apr 2021 President Joe Biden’s failure to guard the border is threatening the jobs, wages, and schools needed by ordinary Americans, says an op-ed by former Vice President Mike Pence. “Until left-wing politicians recognize the true nature of the border crisis and its roots in far-left policies, the crisis only will get worse,” Pence wrote in his April 21 article for DailySignal.com. “American families will be punished with lost jobs, lower wages, overcrowded schools, and overburdened public services,” he added. Pence’s comments are “either complete smoke-blowing, or he has come to understand the really fundamental problems about our immigration policy and their effect on working-class Americans,” said Jessica Vaughan, the policy director at the Center for Immigration Studies.
