The Migrant Crisis Is About More Than Just Kids
The Federalist ^ | June 18, 2018 | Ben Domenech

Yesterday on Face the Nation, I responded to questions about the migrant separations from their children under the Trump Administration’s policy announced last month by trying to shift the focus to what drives these migrations in the first place – something that can’t be addressed by a simple band-aid piece of legislation paving the way for more lax border requirements.

“Why do we have a 200 percent year over year increase in the number of people coming across? Why do we have the biggest month to month increase between February and March that we’ve seen since 2011?

“And the answer to that is the activity of the Mexican cartels, who use these migrants as essentially a distraction to clog systems so they are able to funnel drugs across the border.

We just had Operation “Broken Heart” nab 2,300 pedophiles. I wonder how many are local Democratic officials? Sure aren’t hearing a lot about the people who were caught...

We need a wall and strict enforcement.
The author of this piece lays out very well how bad the situation is in Mexico and reaches the wrong conclusion.

He is married to Meghan McCain.
Might explain why he favors letting them in.

Aside from implying that Trump’s zero tolerance policy wasn’t helping, he didn’t lay out a solution. As far as I’m concerned we should be planting military bases all along the border & sending patrols (in the guise of military training) up & down the length of it. Of course, the trainees should be carrying LOADED weapons!

Enough illegals enter the country every three months to pick all the fruits and vegetables in the country. So we know that's NOT the reason they're coming here - AND it's NOT the reason democrats want them here either...

“The Mexican cartels....locked down the Rio Grande, to the point that you must pay them to be ferried across or you risk being shot.”

The Democrats want open borders for the USA so we can be just as successful as Europe has been with their open borders.

I was with the author until this line from him.

That’s clearly what is going on here, and the Trump administration’s zero tolerance crackdown in response to this increased migration is playing into their hands.
