Plenty of Blame to Go Around for 'Caravan' and Mass Illegal Immigration Generally
Why is a 60-vote supermajority required to pass any legislation?

In a series of tweets and public remarks, President Trump has blamed Democrats for the rolling crisis heading toward our border as the 3,000-turned-7,000 strong (and growing) "caravan" continues to head north through Mexico toward our southern border (see here and here).
The president is right, in my opinion, to apportion a great deal of the blame on intransigent progressive Democrats who favor open borders and sanctuary jurisdictions, and who — even as they accuse the president of playing midterm politics with this crisis — are receiving their own private election cycle talking points advising them to try to duck discussions of illegal immigration and sanctuary policies at all costs and keep voters' eyes focused instead on safer subjects such as health care (see here and here).
