An all-encompassing Russian disinformation campaign is using everything from bots to lifestyle influencers to powerful state-run media to sow division in the United States.
While everything about Republicans’ messaging about the border is pretty damn racist and overdramatic, there is no doubt that the number of people entering the country at the border has massively increased in a very short period of time, putting a lot of strain on it. I was reading an article yesterday, talking about how the number of Chinese nationals entering at the border has increased 50-fold (tens of thousands of arrests last year). You have sanctuary cities with mayors now saying publicly that they are strained as well. Is it a crisis? Debatable. Is it a problem? Yes.
That being said, if we had done more comprehensive and ethical reform over the last 15 to 20 years we wouldn’t be in this situation. We absolutely made this bed and it is a problem to a certain extent.
There is no “cRisiS”
it’s fabricated

I would agree it’s an issue, but not a “cRisiS”. If it were a were crisis (which it’s not), the Republicans would take the concessions offered.
It’s fabricated drama to try and create a wedge issue. Biden called their bluff and Republicans were holding pocket 2’s.
Greg Abbott, truly, is a little piss baby.
You severely underestimate how many people will cut off their nose to spite their face
Well I will say this. While I don’t disagree that we have issues at the border, we have to remember how our political system is currently handling it.
Purposes imperfect but slightly better bill for immigration and border security
This happens
No argument here
