There is no disaster. Just a border. And it's been there since the formation of the country.
Apparently you seem to have forgotten, or are just wilfully ignorant, of the great Ronald Reagans amnesty program.
You know. A conservative Republican.
I can only assume you would consider him a disaster, given your post.
The border was addressed last summer by both conservative Republicans, and liberal Democrats, the devised a fix for the border.
Donald Trump killed that fix, by calling Senators who subsequently, and obediently did just that, after already have agreed to it, so that Trump could use the issue as a campaign strategy.
So much for being concerned about criminals, or drug smugglers.
But, being the master criminal that Trump is. Nobody understands the criminal game better than he does, and I believe he said that himself.
Any border problems since last summer, is 100% a Trump disaster of his own making, and criminally abetted by Republicans in Congress.
