[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why hasn't the Trump administration hired more Border Patrol agents and immigration officials? Fiddling while Rome burns seems to be this administration's MO.[/quote]

Why hasn't Congress passed a bill that would allow for more border barriers to discourage easy entry to our country?  [/quote]
Excellent question.[/quote]

Congress has been supporting and funding border barriers for decades, on both sides of the aisle.  What they DON'T support, on the other hand, is the hyperbole and massive escalation that Trump wants as a 2020 campaign prop.[/quote]

I'm really not sure how you can continue to call an actual crisis at the border - documented in two of our nation's top papers - "hyperbole."  It is not hyperbole to say that security on our border is now stretched too thin to handle the huge number of immigrants trying to enter the U.S.  That is simply fact.  Why do you continue to deny it?[/quote]

No, it is not "simply fact" - It is hyperbole because border crossings and the number of illegals in the country are in fact at historic lows for the last several decades, and that's per CBP's own data.

Really?

It is a crisis.

Anyone who denies it should be recalled, impeached, or forced to resign.[/quote]
