The 1970s were a pivotal decade, and not just because it saw the end of the Vietnam War, the resignation of Nixon, and the death of both the psychedelic hippie movement and the very political (and sometimes violent) SDS. Most consequentially, the 1970s were when the modern-day Republican Party was birthed. Prior to that, the
President Joe Biden’s administration is inadvertently worsening the very problem it is trying to solve – the migrant crisis at the southern border – by facilitating a surge in gun-fueled violent crime in Latin America and beyond.
