OLSON: Letter included misinformation

I’d like to respond to Brian Olson’s letter of Jan. 21. He claims energy prices are up 38%, and in fact crude oil is right where it was, $74/bbl, in June of 2021. Retail gasoline is now $3/gallon, and it was $2.94/gal in May 2019, the end of the Trump presidency. Where is 38% coming from Brian? On the southern border: Olson claims 8 million have been allowed in which is nonsense. The last two years of Trump saw 1.36 million arrests, with 650,000 repatriations. The first 26 months of Biden saw 5 million arrests with 2.5 million repatriations. Unlike Brian, I will give my sources, which are the DHS and Customs and Border Protection.
