Mark Krikorian is a nationally recognized expert on immigration issues serving as the executive director of Center for Immigration Studies. They are an independent, non-partisan research organization examining and critiquing the impact of immigration on the United States. He has testified numerous times before Congress and has published articles in many outlets.
Jim opened this edition of Crosstalk with headlines pointing to the consequences of the lax border control policies of the Biden/Harris administration. They dismantled the Trump border security initiatives and the result has been havoc all over the country. Social Services are also being stretched where U.S. citizens are either being delayed or outright denied services. Finally, there is great suspicion as to whether those who are hear illegally are being registered to vote and plan to participate in the November election.
Mark responded by noting that there is talk of a decline at the border. However, he believes part of it is real and part of it is fake. The real part is that in order to make certain Trump doesn’t win the election, the Mexican government is engineering an interruption in the flow of illegal aliens. That way the Biden/Harris administration can say they fixed the problem. On the other hand, the fake part is that the goal of the current administration all along has been to reduce illegal crossings at the border by unlawfully waiving in illegals through the normal ports of entry and airports.
Here’s how it works. Mark noted how the government has two programs where they use parole, which is limited immigration power. Under this scenario, the president can let someone in who has no right to be here. This might involve someone with a serious medical concern or someone who is required to testify in a trial and they can’t get a visa. The person handles their business and they are escorted back to the border. Through this small emergency power, the Biden/Harris administration has let in over 2 million people while also giving them work permits.
This is why part of the drop in illegals is fake. It’s because we have a government that in one sense, is conspiring with illegal immigrants to schedule their illegal immigration through the regular ports of entry.
This is just the opening salvo in a program that is packed with information that you need to hear if you want to stay informed with the truth about our border situation.

NVIC is a national, grassroots movement and public information campaign to institute vaccine safety reforms and informed consent protections in the public health system.

August marks the annual observance of National Immunization Awareness Month. However, since the COVID shot was released, there’s been a greater skepticism on the part of many individuals regarding whether they should readily accept all the shots and boosters recommended by the FDA and the CDC. People are asking more questions, not only about the COVID shots, but as a new school year begins, parents are wondering about all the vaccine doses they’re told to obtain for their children and they’re wondering if they’re making the right decisions. After all, what about other options, side-effects and what about HPV vaccines?
So if informed consent is of interest to you, you’ll want to review this edition of Crosstalk as Barbara covered many facets of the immunization debate as it pertains to children. Some of the points she covered included:
The attitudes of Republicans vs. Democrats related to vaccines.
The disturbing growth of the childhood vaccine recommendations list.
The religious exemption option.
Have shots been given to students without the knowledge or consent of parents?
Have people been threatened, coerced or thrown out for not wanting to get certain vaccines for their children or for proposing a different vaccine schedule?
There’s more to take in, including answers to questions from listeners nationwide.
