No one knows Washington secrets like Paul Bedard. This longtime D.C. reporter joined the Washington Examiner in 2012 after penning U.S. News & World Report's premiere political column, 'Washington Whispers,' for more than a decade. In addition to his Washington Secrets column, check out his signature feature, 'Liberal Media Scream.
A majority of Americans have had it with the surge in crime and are leaving and avoiding dangerous cities, trying to cope with the wave of shootings and car jackings or simply giving up on their situation, according to a new law enforcement survey.
The National Sheriffs’ Association/TIPP survey shared with Secrets shows that many blame President Biden and his open borders agenda for the surge.“Americans are experiencing an increase in crime in their neighborhoods over the past year,” said Sheriff Jim Skinner, of Collin County, Texas and the chairman of the association’s government affairs committee.
“Most Americans are dissatisfied with President Biden's crime control policies, notably Republicans and independents. Weak immigration policies contribute to an increase in crime. Dissatisfaction spans ideological lines, with conservatives, moderates, and liberals all expressing concerns about these policies,” he added in an analysis of the new survey.
While government reports are conflicting on whether crime has surged beyond city limits, inside cities such as Washington, D.C. the rise in carjackings, hold-ups and theft has risen dramatically and often the attacks are filmed and posted online.Skinner said, “As a result of increased crime, many American families have been impacted, with some feeling helpless and even considering relocating. Others have reported coping with the changes.
What’s more, Americans are avoiding crime areas. Said the analysis, “Communities with increased crime are being abandoned. For example, nearly two-thirds of respondents have either reduced or stopped visiting communities with increased crime. While a third have reduced, another 29% have stopped altogether.”Law enforcement, and especially the National Sheriffs’ Association, had a good relationship with the former Trump administration but not with the Biden White House.
