According to these statistics, the same thing happens every year. If you look at the previous years they all start to go up in January then peak around May and start to decline after that. So what's the big deal if this happens every year? It's to be expected.
The conservatives have been trotting out the "southern border crisis" red herring for so long that The Democrats were the first party to do it in the US. They keep doing it because it works. Those of us that live next to the border, like I do, can tell everyone back east that there's no problem, but if one racist asshole starts yelling, there's a whole bunch of racist assholes that live 2000 miles away that get scared and riled up.
The real problem is your deranged government officials bussing them all over the god damn US. Not that we can control your idiots but our idiots need to respond in kind. That is recieving them. Providing humane care and shelter. Then funding legal representation to sue the shit out of the people who sent them there.
Using human lives as a political hot potato is fucking despicable.
Yes, using human lives as a political hot potato is despicable. However, the policy it implies (sharing the burden of caring for immigrants) is actually quite reasonable, and already policy in places like Germany.
Im betting German policy is a bit more involved than buying them a bus ticket and forcibly making sure they don't miss that bus.
So lawmakers have their work cut out for them.
Too bad the lawmakers over here are agenda driven puppets.
