Is there or isn’t there a crisis on the border?

How is this even logical?

What exactly are you talking about?

Don't we have an obligation to rescue our own children?

Strawman argument.

Typical Bubbled Liberal response to the endless neglected and abused American children. Many of those American children are in fact HOMELESS. Do you even care?

It's not liberals who are cutting funds for helping children, it's Trump and Republicans. https://chronicleofsocialchange.org/child-welfare-2/trump-budget-for-family-and-youth-services-2020/34274

You are making a strawman argument, and it's pretty gross that you throw children under the bus in order to justify your racism.

+1 goodness Trumpsters are ignorant. How is wanting to cut programs for low income children "caring for American kids". And how many Trumpsters adopt real American children in need of families?

Also, a part of me thinks that the surge in immigrants at the border was created by the Trump administration, kind of a "wag the dog" scenario. What better way to get people riled up about needing a border wall than creating a mass influx of people at the border wanting to get in. It's weird to me that the numbers surged during the Trump administration, an administration that is notorious for wanting to build a wall.

The border crisis started in 2014. Conveniently after word had spread that if you bring your kid to our border they would eventually get amnesty (thanks DACA).

Increase in those seeking refugee status:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44319094

In fiscal year 2018, 92,959 people were deemed to have made claims of credible fear" and asked for asylum at the border. That's a pretty big jump from fiscal year 2017, when 55,584 claims were made.

Kate Jastram, senior staff attorney for the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies at the University of California Hastings College of the Law, says that families fleeing violence in Central America began to make up a much larger part of border crossings beginning in 2014.

She says that has more to do with conditions in those countries than any immigration policy implemented by the Trump administration.

"Single men from Mexico were by and large not seeking asylum, they were looking for work," says Jastram. "[Now] we have families and children specifically seeking protection."

And actually, Obama did try to address the issue in 2014:

The feds have also launched a Spanish language ad campaign to warn would-be immigrants to stay home.

But I guess when you are desperate, these kinds of warnings fall on deaf ears.

There’s obviously a crisis at the border. We’ve got 2.4B dollars being used to manage the emergency.

By that definition, then we've had an emergency down there for a while.

Come see why trump is getting g re-elected.

With open borders activists training illegals to claim asylum to any border agent they meet, trump implemented the remain in Mexico and tent asylum courts.
Now, cbp agents are getting trained to screen out the obvious liars—of which there are millions.
The guy is a genius. What a fighter!

Arrests for illegal border crossings into the United States dropped again last month, the seventh consecutive month they have declined. The fact you probably haven’t heard about this in the media is likely because it is a big win for President Trump — and that’s one reason why so many Trump backers have tuned the media out.?The migration saga started last summer. Hundreds of thousands of poor Central Americans made the 1,000-mile-plus journey north fueled by the belief it was easy to get into the United States. By June, U.S. border agents were arresting more than 130,000 people a month. Something had to be done to prevent a humanitarian disaster.?Trump acted. He announced he would levy tariffs on goods from Mexico unless that country did more to stem the flow of Central Americans seeking asylum in the United States. The move was widely condemned by the usual suspects, but once Mexico submitted to Trump’s demands, attention moved elsewhere.?It turns out that the critics were wrong. Fewer than 33,000 people were arrested at the southwest border in December. That’s not only 100,000 fewer people than were arrested in May right before Trump acted; it’s nearly 18,000 people fewer than in December 2018. It’s not as though the countries the migrants were fleeing suddenly became garden spots overnight. There’s only one explanation for the rapid decline: Trump’s policies worked.

Illegal immigration has been dropping for years and actually increased under Trump. Big win for Trump where?

Yes, things are improving despite the Democrats' best effort to impede Trump's efforts.

If Trump was serious about stopping illegal immigration, he would do something about the overstayed visa problem, not build a wall. Someone's probably getting a kickback somewhere!

A country without secured borders can’t be a country.

Even Mexico is starting to turn back the invaders at its own southern border. Why?

they have tried and dems push back on EVERY EFFORT TO LIMIT IMMIGRATION.

zoe, pelosi, schumer, the more guest workers the better for their silicon valley masters.

Republicans controlled the White House, the Senate, and the House for all of 2017 and 2018. They could have passed whatever immigration legislation they wanted. What did they pass? Tax breaks for billionaires.

The truth is both parties are essentially refusing to act on this. Why? Because the U.S. economy depends on illegal immigrants. The Wall is security theater.

Agree that it’s both parties at fault because wealthy people in both parties benefit from exploiting illegal immigrants.

And, yes, maybe the economy is dependent on illegal immigrants right now, but that needs to change.

Encouraging free health care and free college for illegal immigrants is not going to help the situation.
