DEAR HARRIETTE: About a year ago, I met a man at work, and he introduced himself to me by telling me how beautiful I am and how much he admires me. In less than a month, I was his girlfriend.

The United States experienced a mass incursion of illegal border crossers in the years 2021 to 2025. Estimates vary, but in that period at least 9 million people entered the U.S. illegally. Rather than turn them back, former President Joe Biden allowed most to stay, with little or no vetting. Administration officials denied that there was a problem, periodically declaring the border “closed” when in fact 200,000 to 300,000 were crossing illegally each month. When officials conceded that there was a problem, Democrats argued that only sweeping immigration legislation would solve it.
