Manufactured Crisis

[Got Stripers]

Just more justification by his base to convince us there is a national crisis and the facts prove otherwise. I’m not saying we don’t have a problem at the border and it can be addressed with comprehensive immigration reform, which may in fact include a wall in extremely vulnerable sections, but a wall sea to shining sea is overkill to say the least. We do have far more pressing national issues, opioid addiction, affordable health care, global warming and a crumbling infrastructure; what we have on the border is a decades long “ever present” problem. The child named Donny wants his ice cream and he’s not moving until he gets it, so hundreds of thousands are loosing their first paycheck because he and his party have taken the government hostage.

Jim in CT: mass rape is a crisis.

Got Stripers: No it's not, because Trump is bad.

That assertion is full of BS as is your red hat waving insisting we have a full blown national crisis.

Show me the facts that say it's not a crisis. You can say that all day long. But where are those facts? I've seen a few families on TV who lost family members, we all know gangs are crossing over, we all know that SOME drugs are crossing over, we all know that illegals are a huge drain on our economy, and now we appear to know that the people who attempt to cross illegally, are subjected to terrible violence.

Are you saying that's not what's happening? Or do you concede that's happening, but not worthy of the word crisis? because if Trump says crisis and you say problem, that's just semantics. It's not on par with nuclear war. But it's worse than a paper cut.

It wouldn't matter if I posted link after link to articles with "real" statistics and the truth about immigration, you have your red hat tightly buttoned on your head, the blinders are on and ear plugs firmly affixed to keep anything from distracting you from staying the course. But feel free to google and take some time reading.

I'm responding to the facts that I see. I have no red hat, not even close. If you have facts that show there's nothing to be worried about, I'll stop worrying.
