WFEA’s Morning Update Host Jeff Chidester welcomes back frequent contributor and Senior Research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, Simon Hankinson, to break down critical national security and immigration developments.
The conversation opens with a focus on federal oversight and public safety on American highways. Hankinson outlines recent efforts by the U.S. Department of Transportation to clamp down on foreign nationals illegally obtaining non-domiciled Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs), highlighting the severe road safety and national security risks involved.
Moving to the global stage, the discussion turns to Europe’s ongoing migration emergency, detailing how an influx of military-aged men entering EU nations illegally poses severe security threats and strains public infrastructure across the continent.
Finally, Chidester and Hankinson reflect on the anniversary of September 11th, emphasizing the vital historical lessons of border security, intelligence vigilance, and national resilience that must continue to guide policy today.
