Is there any number of illegal border crossings into the United States that would strike Democrats as an emergency? As they resisted President Trump´s efforts to stem the flow of illegal migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border, many Democrats made the point that fewer migrants are coming today than years ago, during the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush presidencies. The implication was that today´s situation cannot be an emergency, because it used to be worse. That doesn´t make sense, of course. One could argue that crossings were an unaddressed emergency back then, and that today´s figures, although lower, also qualify as an

How bad does the border have to be before the President closes it? We have been living with this invasion for years.

It only takes a very few - if they look like they will vote Republican.

When they camp in Nancy Pelosi´s front yard. And leave their calling cards on her front porch.

The existence of the border is the only emergency to the left.

The goal of the democrats and the new world order is to destroy the United States from within and transform it into a third world hell hole that they can control via demographics. Look at the caravans. They are all clean, the men are shaved, they are well fed, the children and the rent-a-womb anchor women are also fat. If you walk the entire country of Mexico without shelter and new clothing you would not look like that.

Until the illegal aliens are in their districts, the Dems will never admit there´s an emergency. That is why the ICE should be putting them on buses and letting them out across the street from the homes of Dem Congress-critters.
When their houses are invaded and robbed, when their children and wives find themselves threatened by illegal alients, then and only then will the Dems think, "Hey, maybe there´s a problem."

Dems will admit an emergency when one of their own is affected, be it a constituent or family member or friend.
For them to admit anything negative involving themselves, will be as likely as it is for them to admit the Mueller report´s findings relieves Mr. Trump of wrong doing.
Dems will be dems. Haters will be haters.
TRUMP 2020 MAGA!

100,000 a month is 3,000 a day. Think about your front yard. What would it be like to have 3000 people walk across it today tomorrow and EVERY day. How long would that take? And this is not an emergency?

It won’t be bad at all once we have no wall or border. These poor uneducated diseased people have rights to all taxpayer funded social services offered by every city county state and the federal government even though they are illegal aliens. Sand aside because the Democrats are on a mission to fundamentally transform this country into a third world banana republic based on socialistic principles. It’s happening in front of our very eyes. We are being invaded by 2 million invaders a year and it’s just getting worse. We are doomed my friends. Doomed.

I know this sounds conspiracy-nutty, but read any of the good, long, neutral articles about Soros -- and his parents chosen identity of "Espirantans" -- yes, a group dedicated to the metric-system-like made up European language.
They reject the idea of nations, religions, cultures.
This is the driving force behind the Democrat agenda.
They WANT Merkel-level immigration, because they WANT to end the USA (and all countries) as a distinct thing.
I used to (and still do) scoff at "New World Order" types -- but that is what they want to do.

The minute a death occurs involving a Democrat ‘s

The leftist and liberal Democrats are only concerned that prospective socialist minded, poor, and uneducated, future Democrat voters, who are now illegal aliens, will still have avenues to flood into the USA, to be granted amnesty, and eventual US voting rights. For that to keep happening, the borderline must remain insecure. On the other side of the Uniparty Congress, the wimpy Republicans, under the control of the Chamber of Commerce and other business lobbying groups, are only concerned that avenues remain for as much cheap foreign labor as possible, illegal or not, continue to have avenues to keep flooding into the USA. Those are the people and entities that President Trump has been fighting and why the borderline has remained insecure for so long.
If the Congress really wants to fix the current out of control borderline caused by bogus asylum seekers who are really illegal alien economic migrants, the Congress will change the “loophole” ridden law and stop allowing the filing of asylum applications at the borderline by unlimited numbers of illegal aliens, who clearly have been instructed by leftists in Central America to travel to the US borderline and make an asylum claim, after which they will be allowed to enter and stay in the USA for an indefinite period, until an immigration judge makes a final decision on their individual case, that because of a million case backlog will take years, a situation created by the Congress and that is being taken advantage of by bogus asylum seekers in great numbers that undermine the effective enforcement of the immigration laws.

As usual York misses the point. The Democrats are not interested in securing the border. Byron, get out of DC once in a while.
