Hey, our righteous indignation about govt sponsored and bush/obummer facilitation of the invasion is what got Trump elected in the first place. Trump wants what every first term president wants, a second term.
He thinks all he has to do is to string this crisis along until 2020 for re-election. It's liable to not play out that way at this rate.
See, that's it in a nutshell. I wasted 500 words and you nailed it.
What is missing here? Stephen Miller needs to get Bannon, Kobach and Trump in the same room and read him the riot act.
"Get rid of the invaders. Optix optix optix. Show the government planes sending them back. Set up a shangri-la in Panama. Pick one of our former US bases in Panama, buy it on the down low, and get Rand et al to turn it into a modern (but dispersed) US town. This also allows you to spread through those camps 'hey your back is against the sea so chill your shit or learn to swim'."
