Jim, Trump’s policy at the time was draconian.

the cartels obviously saw this, and are renting kids out to adults who want to cross. so what looks like families, are sometimes fake families. but you can’t tell by looking at them who is who.

believe it or not, it might be in the short term interests of some of those kids, to get separated from whoever they’re caught with, it all of these kids are traveling with adults who live them.

in any event, the us government provided all the incentive in the world, for illegals to bring kids and women with them. when crossing points are co trolled by cartels, that’s not a good thing. lots of women making the journey get sexually assaulted on the other side.

it’s a mess. incentivizing people to bring women and children, was one of the very. few ways it could have been made worse

it’s a huge humanitarian crisis ( dubbed a manufactured crisis by the left). much better to get people to
cross legally, at legal
points, not ruled by cartels of sociopaths.

your side sees no issue.

GAO confirms that Trump suspending funding to Central America undermined the administration’s own goals in the region, a major driver of migrants north to the U.S.

Oh I do worry about what’s happening in this country

Let’s be clear what happened here: Basically, once Trump realized he couldn’t keep secret his support for and coordination of the Jan 6 attack on the Capitol, he just decided to embrace it and call it a protest.

So now, every R will have to either embrace Jan 6 as a valid form of protesting a “stolen” election (as Trump now has) or condemn it as wrong.

Their line has changed so many times. First: Antifa. Then: wrong, but not an insurrection. Then: bad apples but the police let them in.

These are unserious people who are trying to come up with any line that will allow them to stay in good graces with an increasingly deranged base while speaking through the mainstream channels of normal society and institutions.

You know whose line hasn’t changed?

Liz Cheney’s

Trump’s now explicit embrace of the January 6 attack this many months later is just the latest example of what is becoming the newest truism in American politics…

Never Trumpism is never wrong.
