This leftist support of the invasion is the cause of de facto closure of the southern border.
Illegal border crossings have been going down for years at least until Trump started talking about closing the border. The feeling of urgency among migrants has sent tens of thousands of Central American migrants to our borders.
The number of migrant families crossing the southwest border has once again broken records, with unauthorized entries nearly double what they were a year ago, suggesting that the Trump administration’s aggressive policies have not discouraged new migration but have actually encourage it.
I was watching VICE News last night on HBO, and they were doing a story on this. When they interviewed some immigrants and asked them why they came now instead of later, they said that there were murmurings down south about how the border was going to be closed in May, and they were just trying to get here before the border closed. And, when they interviewed some women with kids, they said that they had heard it was now easier to cross if came with your kids.
The reason for the southern border crisis is because of Trump.
He declared a national emergency and both the opposition and his own party saw no emergency so he has to give them one. The reason for the emergency is all wrapped up in his get tough policy on illegal immigration.
At first, he left those applying for asylum in Mexico till their case could be heard which seemed reasonable since he had no place for them. Then he decides to bring them in which created a hell of crisis because he not only didn't have room for them but had to separate the kids from their family. If that wasn't bad enough, he abandon the quick turnaround for those captured at the border which was used for years to return Mexicans to Mexico in 24 hours without detainment and waiting weeks to go before a judge. So now he says, we have a crisis because we have no room.
As part of his get tough policy he announces to the World that he is building a great wall across the border then announces he's considering closing the border entirely which of course sends tens of thousands of migrants rushing to the border.
Now, we have an emergency.
