CNN's Fareed Zakaria laments that President Donald Trump was correct that there is a crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. From his Sunday program, 'Fareed Zakaria GPS':
FAREED ZAKARIA, CNN: Given President Trump's mean spirited and often bigoted attitudes on immigration, it pains me to say this, but he is right, that the United States faces a crisis with its asylum system. Democrats might hope that the out-of-control situation at the southern border undermines Trump's image among his base as a tough guy who can tackle immigration. But they should be careful. It could actually work to the president's advantage.
Since 2014, the flow of asylum seekers into the United States has skyrocketed. Last year, immigration courts received 162,000 asylum claims. A 240 percent increase from 2014. The result is a staggering backlog with more than 300,000 asylum cases pending and the average immigration case has been pending for more than 700 days. It's also clear that the rules surrounding asylum are vague, lax and being gamed.
The initial step for many asylum seekers is to convince officers that they have a credible fear of persecution in their home countries. And about 75 percent meet that criteria. Some applicants for asylum have suspiciously similar stories using identical phrases. Many simply use the system to enter the U.S. and then melt into the shadows or gain a work permit while their application is pending.

Keep praying for more people to wake up. This isn’t supposed to be a partisan issue.
I don’t know I’m not there yet!!
Too late.
Trump says "Obey the law." Liberals reply "you mean spirited & bigoted SOB."
Admitting you have a problem, is the first step to curing your mental condition. Now just take another hundred steps more. Lol.

He could do film reviews in Pahrump, Nevada, and pull bigger ratings than as political commentator at CNN.

60,000 Costa Ricans leave/sent to the US to make room for 60,000 Nicaraguans fleeing communism. H’mmm, I wonder if any one is telling the Central Americans that all the Dems who want open borders, also want communism for this country.
