OK, there IS a crisis at the border. So let's solve it.

Let's take the president at his word. After all, there isn't a human alive that would create a false narrative so racially charged and moronically reasoned just to score points with his base, right? So there must be a crisis at the border, as he says.

We should appropriate funds for additional immigration judges and border patrol agents. Those can be deployed tomorrow to stem this horrific humanitarian crisis that our leader speaks about so eloquently.

What probably won't help is a 3-5 year construction project. I think that would take too much time. This is a crisis. It's urgent. Trump says so, and he doesn't lie.

But seriously, why aren't Democrats out there noting that his preferred solution for this "crisis" is something that will take years to even get into place?

don't do all the environmental impact studies. And since a lot of the land is private property, Trumpy taking it will cause no end of court challenges.
