That's not true. There was a surge, in fact, toward the end.It's been in the news idiot. The illegal crossings are down way down!It's safer since Trump took office. Under shit stain it was at least 70 percent worse.Just culling a coupla canards outta the middle:
This has always been true, but it’s especially important at this moment in history, when we have drugs, gang members, diseases and terrorists pouring across our border.
Except we don't. That's the strawman myth upon which is built the "wall". Which, in turn, is as transparent as glass for anyone who cares to inspect the reality. As, f'rinstance, National Review did.
It's well known that most illegal immigration comes from overstaying visas. The "wall" is a myth that can't be built, built on a myth of teeming hordes of terrorists that don't exist, to sell snake oil to the gullible.
As the Rump "University" playbook candidly put it, "you don't sell solutions --- you sell feelings". Which is exactly what Rump the con artist did. But to do that he needed complicity from the Gullibles. And there you are --- batter up.
This isn’t like other shutdowns. Democrats can’t wail about Republicans cutting Social Security or school lunches. They are willing to shut the government down because they don’t want borders.
An imaginary "wall" is not a "border". And the border in question is more secure than ever. Prove it isn't. Prove that, because that's the bullshit your whole thread hangs on.
Link, Pinks?
The illegals crossing into this country have been going down steadily for the past several years. The reason crossings are down is because of the policies Obama put in place. Trump is just coasting on Obama's work.
