Governments need to make better choices politically if our countries are going to survive

Over the weekend, an unprecedented terror attack by Hamas led to Israel declaring a state of war, mobilising 300,000 reservists and ordering a “complete siege” of Gaza.

The twilight of “Pax Americana” started under Barack Obama, accelerated under and has not been reversed by , despite his staunch support for Ukraine. Many countries in the West are similarly distracted by their own internal problems. Conflict and aid fatigue appears to be setting in.

The rules-based global order may have unfairly benefited the G7 group of rich countries but at least everyone knew where they stood. As it fractures, there’s little to stop every country pursuing its own national interests at the expense of everything else. The result, as we’re already starting to see, will be chaotic.

during the first few months of the Biden administration. Important examples include the following:

Throughout the 2020 campaign, President Biden promised to extend amnesty to illegal aliens in the United States.
On his first day in office, President Biden sent an immigration bill to Congress that included an amnesty program and pledged his support to give illegal aliens a path to citizenship.
The Biden administration immediately issued an executive order directing agencies to take steps to preserve the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
The Biden administration stopped construction of the border wall.
The Biden administration expanded the grounds for claiming asylum by reversing legal opinions issued under the Trump Administration.
The Biden administration ended the Asylum Cooperative Agreements (ACAs) with Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras which required migrants to apply for asylum in one of the countries through which they traveled (and be denied) as a prerequisite to eligibility for asylum in the United States.^{^[11]}
The Biden administration issued a policy to exempt unaccompanied minors and family units from expulsion under Title 42, releasing these populations into the U.S.
The Biden administration revived the Obama Administration’s policy of allowing immigration judges to administratively close deportation cases.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued policies that make it easier to apply for benefits, including work permits, extended and expanded programs like Temporary Protected Status, eliminated the ability of officers to issue Notices to Appear (NTAs), and reduced screening and vetting in order to process more petitions and applications.

In 2022, Biden created a "parole" program to let MONTHLY up to 30,000 illegal aliens from those four countries ( CHNV ) to the United States WITHOUT any legal approval from Congress to enter the United States on two-year periods of parole, complete with the promise of employment authorization and, ultimately, access to government benefits.

US Immigration Laws - details

...

The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) was enacted in 1952. The INA collected many provisions and reorganized the structure of immigration law. The INA has been amended many times over the years and contains many of the most important provisions of immigration law.

The INA is contained in the United States Code (U.S.C.). The U.S. Code is a collection of all the laws of the United States. Title 8 of the U.S. Code covers "Aliens and Nationality."

The tables below show INA sections and their corresponding U.S. Code section. To ensure accuracy, USCIS links to the official U.S. Code prepared by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives.

This massive surge in illegal migration — over and above Congress’ limits in the INA — will quickly become unsustainable absent significant tax increases or drastic cuts in government funding for public benefits, housing, education, and healthcare. By law, Congress, not the president, gets to decide who is allowed to come here and who must be kept out. It’s well past time that Congress reasserts that authority.
