This legislation does not help secure our border, it makes things worse, in my judgement.”

Illegal immigration skyrocketed to the highest level in more than a decade for the month of November, as President Trump’s border wall remains unfunded by the Republican-controlled Congress. Last month, illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border soared to levels that the country has not seen since Fiscal Year 2014, when more than 51,500 illegal aliens tried to cross the border in April 2015. In November 2018, there were close to 52,000 border crossings on the southern border, alone, marking the highest level of illegal immigration in the month of November since 2006.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- With a large police presence -- including HPD helicopters above, mounted patrol with horses wearing gear to protect their eyes should tear gas be used, and a lot of officers monitoring -- a two-sided protest unfolded outside the park where a 109-year-old statue has become a lightning rod. The Spirit of the Confederacy statue was dedicated in 1908 at Sam Houston Park near city hall by the Daughters of the Confederacy. In the aftermath of last weekend's deadly confrontation in Charlottesville, Confederate statues have been protested as living symbols of racism. HPD estimated the number of...

The significant downturn in the number of illegal border crossers between the U.S. and Mexico is "nothing short of miraculous," National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd said on C-SPAN Monday. "As far as the Trump administration's efforts on immigration, this is something they campaigned heavily on," he said. "At six months, where we are on meeting those promises, we are seeing nothing short of miraculous. If you look at the rhetoric that President Trump has given, it has caused a number of illegal border crossings to go down. We have never seen such a drop that we currently have."...

CA MAU, Vietnam — It could have been 1969 again as Secretary of State John F. Kerry stood on the bow of the small boat chugging up the Bay Hap River on Saturday, the wind billowing his sleeves and his eyes darting left and right toward banks shrouded in dark foliage. As a young Navy lieutenant, Kerry commanded a Swift boat along this stretch of churning brown waters in the middle of a free-fire zone. Here, he earned a Silver Star for his heroics when he leapt ashore after an ambush to pursue a fleeing Viet Cong with a grenade...
