Laura: This is Biden’s border legacy.
FOX News host Laura Ingraham shares her thoughts on the connection between the murder of a Georgia nursing student and the president’s border policies on “The Ingraham Angle.”

“If the rematch were today, there is a good chance Trump would win, but Biden has eight months to improve his fortunes by agreeing to the priorities of each Cabinet agency and the wish list of liberal interest groups. But the story doesn’t change at all.” The Post editorial board pointed out Saturday.
The editorial board’s claims came during a discussion of next week’s State of the Union address, which accused Biden of “drawing on the biggest TV audience of the year by delivering a laundry list of things to check that will last more than an hour.” “Don’t waste it,” he warned.
Specifically, left-leaning media outlets suggested that Biden should promise to take executive action regarding the border crisis, saying that he “will lose re-election if he doesn’t address the southern border.”
“It is reasonable to accuse Republicans of undermining a sensible bipartisan border deal, as Mr. Biden did on Thursday when he visited a border town in Texas, but it is not enough. , we need to convey that we understand that many people see millions of border crossings as a failure.” “We outlined how to use executive authority to stop them,” the editorial board wrote.
