What a real border crisis looks like, in a chart
If there's any question about a border crisis hitting the United States, take a look at this recent chart from the Customs and Border Protection agency. The latest line is the red line:
The figures show a border out of control, and absolutely no resources deployed to maintain any control over the border. The Border Patrol calls it, quite rightly, "an emergency." The lawmen can't house that many unvetted people looking for 'free' government services, and they're coming in huge waves now, fattening the cartels and allowing them to transport drugs as lawmen babysit moms-and-kids among the migrant waves, so catch-and-release is about all that can be done.
They've been calling it a crisis for months now, and there has been intelligence about a huge wave in the making. The Border Patrol, three months ago, projected a million migrants planning to enter the U.S. illegally, and a Gallup poll showed that five million Latin Americans plan to come here one way or another this year (with 42 million intending to come in total.) The presence of unvetted people from well beyond Latin America, such as the 153 apprehended from Africa in just one mass crossing, suggests that everything that's been predicted is coming true.
Incredibly, President Trump has been denied resources to halt the crisis by the Democrats in Congress, by leftist judges who block his every move at the request of unelected activists, and even by Deep State seeking to sabotage his efforts from within. This tweet pretty well sums up what's going on:
Apparently, they all know that Trump's signature issue of preserving U.S. sovereignty, along with his stellar economy, makes him unbeatable with voters.
Trump has been left with nothing to resolve this crisis with, and Democrats are banking on that being an election issue, hoping Republican voters stay home out of dispiritedness over the impossibility of any action over a broken border, and maybe a bad economy, along with it. It's a heck of a thing to inflict on the American people.
Trump's apparently opting to sacrifice of the U.S. economy to remedy the matter in a desperate bid to get some kind of control over the surge. It's a desperate measure and not one he ought to have to make that choice on. Tariffs slow down the economy and cost jobs, meaning, Americans will lose theirs in the politically sensitive Midwest, but illegals may quit coming when they find out that jobs have grown scarce. (Mexico, of course, will implode, and that may create a surge anyway as migrants look for welfare). Trump's tariffs in a two-front trade war against Mexico (while he is tackling China) are about all he has left and plenty of people in the GOP aren't happy about it. Democrats have always liked tariffs, so this is an easy one for them to go along with even as they publicly deplore them. Their real aim is for Trump to lose the economy so that voters will be receptive to their socialist message. If Trump loses the economy, Democrats have him just where they want him, with both a border surge and a bad economy keeping voters away in 2020. After that, Democrats stop at nothing to get him out of office and prosecuted.
It's a huge and dangerous crisis, and it's what Democrats, who have nothing to sell to voters, really want.
Trump should pass this chart around and start to blast this outrageous agenda put on by cynical failed political opposition. And voters must stick by him, come hell or high water, given the incredibly high stakes.
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S BILLIONAIRES’ GLOBALIST EMPIRE requires someone as ruthlessly dishonest as Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama to be puppet dictators.

1. Globalism: Google VP Kent Walker insists that despite its repeated rejection by electorates around the world, “globalization” is an “incredible force for good.”
2. Hillary Clinton’s Democratic party: An executive nearly broke down crying because of the candidate’s loss. Not a single executive expressed anything but dismay at her defeat.
3. Immigration: Maintaining liberal immigration in the U.S is the policy that Google’s executives discussed the most.
Harvard/Harris Poll: Building Border Wall, Cutting All Immigration to U.S. Top Priority for GOP Voters
3:11
Building a wall along the United States-Mexico border to stop illegal immigration and reducing all illegal and legal immigration to the U.S. is the top priority for Republican voters, a new poll finds.
The latest Harvard/Harris Poll reveals that Republicans voters rank building a wall along the southern border as their top priority for what President Trump should be focused on executing.
Currently, only 42 miles of mostly replacement barriers have been built at the U.S.-Mexico border, but hardly any mileage of wall has been built to expand upon existing barriers. Every administration since President George W. Bush has built replacement barriers.
Building a border wall to stop illegal immigration is also the top priority for conservative voters and Trump supporters.
Second to building the wall, Republican voters said they want Trump to focus on reducing all illegal and legal immigration to the U.S. Conservatives and Trump supporters ranked reducing all immigration as their second highest priority as well.
Currently, more than 1.2 million legal immigrants are admitted to the country every year, with foreign-born voters expected to account for one-in-ten U.S. voters in the 2020 election.
Nearly 70 percent of all legal immigration to the U.S. comes through the process known as “chain migration,” whereby newly naturalized citizens are allowed to bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country with them. Nearly ten million legal immigrants have been admitted to the country through chain migration in the last decade, alone, and in the next two decades, chain migration is expected to import about eight million new foreign-born voters.
The poll shows the divide between the GOP base and the party establishment’s donor class of billionaires and big business executives. While Republican voters want less immigration, the plutocrat Koch brothers and U.S. Chamber of Commerce push mass amnesty for all illegal aliens as well as an expansion of legal immigration levels to provide corporations with an endless stream of cheaper, foreign workers to compete against working and middle class Americans.
Months ago, Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donahue claimed the country is “out of people” and therefore must import millions more legal immigrants every year to take American jobs.
At stake for the GOP donor class’s support for current legal immigration levels and expanding immigration is Americans’ wages.
Extensive research by economists like George Borjas and analyst Steven Camarota has found that the country’s current mass legal immigration system — wherein 1.2 million mostly low-skilled workers are admitted annually — burdens U.S. taxpayers and America’s working and middle class while redistributing about $500 billion in wealth every year to major employers and newly arrived immigrants.
Borjas has previously called the country’s legal immigration system the “largest anti-poverty program” in the world at the expense of blue-collar Americans and middle-class taxpayers.
Camarota, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies, has found that every one-percent increase in the immigrant composition of American workers’ occupations reduces their weekly wages by about 0.5 percent. This means the average native-born American worker today has his weekly wages reduced by perhaps 8.5 percent because of current legal immigration levels.
