  • The WallBuilders Show - Good News Friday: Crime Drops, Border Enforcement, And Election Integrity Wins

    The biggest “good news” story might be the one nobody expects: America’s homicide rate dropping to its lowest per-capita level since 1900. We walk through the 2025 crime statistics, what “per 100,000” really means, and why the gap between raw totals and rates changes the conversation. Then we dig into what the hosts believe is driving the shift, from border security and deportations of criminal migrants to targeted enforcement that makes places like Washington, DC feel safer on the street.

    From there, we pivot to immigration and citizenship policy with a headline that sounds unbelievable until you hear the details: birth tourism rings. After the Supreme Court rejects President Trump’s executive action tied to birthright citizenship, the State Department responds by launching a birth tourism prevention task force. We break down how these operations allegedly game the visa system, why forged documents and coaching are part of the playbook, and what enforcement can look like even when the courts say “no.”

    We also cover two more wins with real-world impact: a federal appeals court upholding Texas SB1 election integrity rules for mail voting and ballot assistance, and a reworked approach to USAID that redirects humanitarian aid through trusted Christian organizations like Samaritan’s Purse, Compassion International, and World Vision. If you care about election security, border policy, faith-based programs, and practical governance, this one connects the dots.
