Fear and loathing on the southern border

David Nakamura at the Washington Post seems to unintentionally highlight one of the biggest successes of the Trump administration to date and it deals with illegal immigration. He begins by casting a few stones at the President, saying that several of his border enforcement initiatives “have not gone very well” so far, specifically referring to court challenges to the travel ban, funding for the border wall and resources for expansion of ICE and the Border Patrol. There’s clearly some truth to those points (at least in the short term) but Nakamura goes on from there to claim that Trump is still making progress in his agenda because of the most potent weapon in his arsenal: fear.
