This “crisis at the border” is just this election cycle’s “caravan” all over again. And the media is falling for it hook, line, and sinker. Republicans don’t want to campaign on abortion, Trump’s multiple pending criminal trials, or their overall inability to govern.
So instead they cry “crisis at the border, crisis at the border!” And if they shout it long enough, people start to be afraid. And when they’re afraid, they vote Republican.
But in reality, they have no policies to run on. Trump ran in 2016 on stopping immigration. Obviously, he didn’t do shit and he pardoned his cronies for embezzling funds meant for building the wall. They just hope that Americans have the memory of goldfish and that they can be scared into voting Republican again.
