When will Democrats in Congress finally admit that there is a real crisis at The Southern Border, and act on it?

The Executive Branch has struggled for many years because it is being hamstrung by Congress.

Presidents from at least Clinton have said that better immigration laws are necessary but Congress is unwilling to help. This leaves the Executive Branch with a problem. The immigrants are illegal, as defined by Congress, but Congress does not suggest a way to solve the problem. In fact, it makes matters worse by agreeing that anyone who arrives in the US and says the right thing must not be sent back without a court hearing.

That does not happen elsewhere in the world. There is a backlog of around 900,000 cases at the moment. How long will it take to reduce that list to zero?

If I didn't know better, I would suspect that Congress benefits in some way by allowing all those people in. Could it be that those who hold sway in Congress benefit like the president of Mexico who received $100,000,000 from the cartels?

It took 200+ years to have according to liberals 10 million illegals in America.

They are projecting a million more by year end.

Of course, its a crisis.

When it becomes anywhere near as serious as the real crisis on our farms. They can't get enough workers because we have too FEW immigrants.

And if the problem is too many arrests, then the solution is simple: Stop arresting them. Let them go where we need them: our farms.

There IS a real crisis - but it's not what Trump says it is, and it can't be solved by building medieval fortifications.

Maybe when they realize their channel-selectors have other settings than CNN.

Probably not they might if Trump resigned.

The answer is not a wall, the answer is to recognise that there is a refugee problem and treat it as such. These people coming here are largely families who are desperate to get away from the dangerous situation they left in their home country, that was created by decades of US interference in the region. This is no different than the I interference that the US is currently doing in Venezuela.

I don't think the problem is in understanding that "out of control" immigration is a problem for the US -- just the solutions,and means of dealing with immigrants ,that Trump has suggested for it

Because it is a crisis created by Trump.

A large group came to the border seeking asylum and yet the Trump administration greatly reduced the number of immigration officers and staff to handle the flow.

Trump wants chaos at the border because it plays into his political agenda of an 'alien invasion'.

Trump said he would close the border. Democrats don’t want to risk alienating their voters in Texas. The state trades heavily with Mexico and closing the border would affect their economy.
