Stop Ignoring the Crisis at the Border
When you've lost the Washington Post ...
By Andrew R. Arthur on March 25, 2019
On March 21, 2019, the Washington Post published an article captioned "Democrats struggle to address rising border apprehensions as they seek to counter Trump on immigration". As that piece states:
Democrats who have railed against President Trump's national emergency as a manufactured crisis are facing a political dilemma as border apprehensions have spiked and are on pace for the highest level since 2008.
Since Trump took office, congressional Democrats have sought to counter his hard-line immigration agenda by pointing to federal data that showed unauthorized crossings had, in recent years, fallen to "historic lows." But after making the fewest apprehensions in 46 years in 2017, the head of Customs and Border Protection has warned that a recent surge of Central American families has left the agency at its "breaking point."
Respectfully, the Washington Post's acknowledgement of these facts will just make the Democrats' job all the harder.
