We used to have a nation.
Every country in the world has strict borders. Try casually slipping into Iran, Russia, China or North Korea.
Statement from the President Regarding Emergency Measures to Address the Border Crisis
Issued on: May 30, 2019
As President of the United States, my highest duty is the defense of the country and its citizens. A nation without borders is not a nation at all. I will not stand by and allow our sovereignty to be eroded, our laws to be trampled, or our borders to be disrespected anymore.
——Statement by President Donald R. Trump
“We used to have a nation.”
Well, we had decades of warning but chose to do nothing. So where does the blame really lie?
