Immigration turned into a political wedge issue to divide the country leading to an inability or unwillingness of our elected leaders to address the issues. Trump didn't invent the problem but he sure as hell has made it a lot worse.

Jeff,if you are paying attention then you should know the amount of people trying to enter our country illegally has grown exponentially. Some want to deny it and cater to the offenders. Others are trying to prevent it altogether. Nobody should be surprised that it’s getting worse. This could have been prevented but as you point out, it’s political grandstanding at its finest.

compassion human dignity access to clean water a shower clean clothes medical care recreation

are basic provisions provided to every Inmate in the United States and POW or terrorist captured by the USA

blind to their crime color or where they are from..

And yet here the Trump supports can't figure that out?? they make excuse after excuse about who's fault it is

All the while accepting theses conditions as Part of the deserved outcome for those who dare try to come to America .. regardless of age or ability to make the choice ....

Another shining example of how to make America great Again

The asylum seekers have been up and yes Trump has contributed significantly to the problem.

it’s trumps fault that we’re seeing a surge in the
number of families as a percentage of people crossing?

Spence, what should he have done, when faced with all
these families? where would
you have told him to put them?
