Democrats have been proven wrong in their assessment on the border. Yet, even with Americans of all political persuasions now understanding that America is being overwhelmed by illegal border-crossers, Democrats have gone even further out on a limb to obstruct a solution to this crisis.

Democrats have been dying to hear directly from special counsel Robert Mueller for months, but they're not alone. President Donald Trump's GOP allies in Congress are salivating at the chance to bruise Mueller's reputation and cast doubt on the integrity of his work.

There are approximately 1 million people illegally in the United States who have been ordered to leave by a judge. These illegal aliens have had due process, their day in court, and many have even lost on appeal. They have received more protections of their "rights" by having access to America's judicial system than an illegal alien would receive in most other countries.

House Republicans said they are eager to question former special counsel Robert Mueller when he testifies in open session before two House panels next month.

While Democrats have spent weeks seeking an appearance from Mueller so they can ask about President Trump's efforts to obstruct his two-year investigation into Russian collusion during the 2016 presidential campaign, the GOP is planning a much different line of questioning.

The situation at America's southern border is a crisis that continues to deteriorate. In May, Customs and Border Protection reported that 144,278 aliens were apprehended at the southern border, and that more than 675,000 have been apprehended this fiscal year. This doesn't even reflect the "got-aways," which some agents have told me could be two to three times higher.

The Senate Appropriations Committee approved legislation last week that would exacerbate the border crisis. House Democrats have somehow managed to produce a legislative proposal that is even worse than the Senate effort.
