The Border Reinforcement Act adds manpower, technology and physical infrastructure needed to regain control of our borders. It would require that money dedicated to border enforcement be used for just that -- not for processing, releasing and flying illegal migrants around the country, as the Biden administration has been doing. The bill also requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to collect and disseminate vital information about the people who are encountered crossing the border illegally.

Key Points: 
  • The Border Reinforcement Act adds manpower, technology and physical infrastructure needed to regain control of our borders.
  • The bill also requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to collect and disseminate vital information about the people who are encountered crossing the border illegally.
  • Among the key provisions of the Border Reinforcement Act:
    Requires DHS to resume construction of the border security wall along no less than 900 miles of our southern border.
  • "FAIR applauds the Homeland Security Committee for delivering a bill that would provide actual homeland security and urges a swift markup and committee approval as the bill makes its way to the floor for passage by the full House of Representatives," concluded Stein.

For Republican presidential hopefuls, Iowa is still the first political beauty contest

The Democratic National Committee may have dethroned the Iowa caucuses as kingmaker in its presidential nominating process, but Iowa voters still have the power to crown Republican presidential contenders or threaten their White House ambitions.

Key Points: 
  • The Democratic National Committee may have dethroned the Iowa caucuses as kingmaker in its presidential nominating process, but Iowa voters still have the power to crown Republican presidential contenders or threaten their White House ambitions.
  • Scott and Hutchinson know that for Republicans, the road to the White House begins in Iowa.
  • The state gives presidential hopefuls a venue to test their messages and campaign skills early in the campaign process.
  • I am an emeritus professor of political science at Iowa State University, where I began working in 1970 and have watched the Iowa caucuses evolve.

Iowa wasn’t always first

    • Iowa held a presidential primary in 1916, but it went back to the caucus system the following year because the primary was costly and none of the major candidates participated.
    • At the same time, Iowa Democrats, dissatisfied with the state’s caucus system, forced state reforms that included holding district and state conventions separately.
    • The first time the Iowa Democrats held caucuses in January was in 1972.
    • That year, a little-known candidate, Jimmy Carter, the governor of Georgia, won the Democratic Party’s Iowa caucuses and eventually the party’s presidential nomination and then the presidency.

All Republican campaigns begin in Iowa

    • That plan allowed candidates and party leaders to maximize use of the massive media coverage that always comes with the Iowa caucuses.
    • Republicans are sticking with that plan and will hold their opening presidential caucuses in Iowa on Feb. 5, 2024.
    • Instead of Iowa and then New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina, the new Democratic lineup makes South Carolina the first state.
    • But if Iowa Democrats ignore the calendar change, the Democratic Party can issue sanctions, which may include Iowa losing half its delegates.
