They say it’s a manufactured crisis, but then they say they want to spend money on border security they just differ on how to spend it.
So which is it? Is there a problem at the border that needs to be addressed or is Trump overblowing it in order to get his signature campaign promise fulfilled?
they do not want to appear weak on border security, which has more to do with our ports of entry and airports than it does with remote patches of desert along the US Mexican Border. And of course the iron knee is that our TSA agents are working without pay right now. So manufactured crisis, absolutely.
