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

Right now, Border Agents are asking for 2.2 Million diapers for migrant children.

Perhaps organize yourselves, and do something.

"After 2011, the US saw a rapid increase in the number of unaccompanied children like Audelina crossing into the US illegally — most of them from Central America. In spring and summer 2014, the number of children reached a crisis point. During fiscal year 2014 (October 2013-September 2014), 68,541 unaccompanied children were apprehended at the US/Mexico border— a 77 percent increase over the previous year.

At the same time, there was a rapid increase in the number of parents arriving with young children. In fact, nearly as many family units (68,445) were apprehended at the border in fiscal year 2014 as unaccompanied children — over three times as many families as were apprehended the previous year."

So yeah Central Americans got the memo that a kid is the free ticket into our country.

Right now, with the election cycle in full gear, the Democrats don't want to do anything that appears to give Trump a win.
As a result, it seems as if the Dems are all OK with illegal immigration.

Vitriol aside. I live in Northern Virginia. I do believe there is a serious crisis at our southern border. I have addressed this with Senator Kaine, Warner and Congressman Beyer via phone call. I will tell you, they say constituents are more concerned with impeachment then with border security.

I personally am very, very concerned about our borders. I have also written Speaker Pelosi as well as Chuck Shumer.

I do not understant why we would give up USA safety in America after fighting for world safety in WWII given lives lost.

I hope our Congress will work with President Trump and soon.

I find this really, really hard to believe.
They are trying to justify their actions. Rather, their inaction, particularly on immigration.

I would have asked them which issue is more important to our national security and safety..... impeaching the president OR ensuring our borders are secure.

Good for you for reaching out to them. I live in northern VA too and dont even waste my time as I know they will blow off any concerns about illegal immigration. Our senators are so popular they can sit around and do nothing and still win. They have no intention of addressing the issue of illegal immigration- particularly in how it impacts our schools. I'm pretty disillusioned by the while issue.

And this is why Trumo will win again.

Exactly. President Trump will win again. Most Americans understand we just can't fund the medical care for everyone who wants to come here. Hell, we can't even cover our own Americans who need medical care!

https://www.c-span.org/video/?461463-1/house-session Sorry for the all caps but that is the way it is on c-span. Hoyer is addressing humanitarian relief at the border. Not the impacts on the destinations in the USA. Trump's fly them to Florida was not flying random illegal immigrants- they planned to go to Florida. Hoyer is from Maryland. Maybe he'll ask for Trump to fly some to Maryland and Kaine/Connolly will put in for VA. The illegal immigrants choose destinations in the USA.


"ADMINISTRATION CAN PLACE BORDER ENFORCEMENT, SOME OF THE THINGS IT WANTS TO DO ON ENFORCEMENT AND HUMANITARIAN RELIEF. IF WE CAN PASS A BILL LIMITED TO HUMANITARIAN RELIEF, I HOPE WE CAN PASS IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, MEANING NEXT WEEK. NOW I WILL TELL YOU, MS. ROYBAL-ALLARD HAS BEEN WORKING VERY HARD TO REACH A CONSENSUS NOT ONLY WITHIN HER COMMITTEE BUT REACH A CONSENSUS WITHIN THOSE WHO HAVE PARTICULAR FOCUS ON IT, THE HISPANIC CAUCUS, AS YOU KNOW IS VERY, VERY CONCERNED BOTH ABOUT THE HUMANITARIAN SITUATION AT THE BORDER, AS WE ALL ARE, I THINK "THE NEW YORK TIMES" EDITORIAL, I BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF MY MEMBERS THEY ALREADY HAD SEEN IT. I THINK "THE NEW YORK TIMES" PREMISE IS CORRECT. WE NEED TO ACT, WE NEED TO ACT QUICKLY. WE'RE WORKING TOWARD THAT END. I WOULD HOPE THAT WE COULD MOVE AS EARLY AS NEXT WEEK. I CAN'T PROMISE THAT BUT I'M HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN REACH A CONSENSUS, IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE COULD REACH A "
