Is there any number of illegal border crossings into the United States that would strike Democrats as an emergency?
The border numbers are surging back to the bad old days.
For some perspective: According to Border Patrol statistics, U.S. authorities caught 1,643,679 people trying to cross the border illegally from Mexico in fiscal 2000.
In the Clinton-Bush years, the overwhelming number of illegal crossers were single, adult men trying to avoid detection as they sneaked across the border.
Formally announcing his presidential candidacy Saturday, Democrat Beto O'Rourke vowed to "Find security by focusing on our ports of entry." Ports of entry are where the majority of illegal drugs crossing the border are seized, so that is indeed important.
Migrants crossing the border are not waiting at ports of entry.
Doing so would require recognizing the emergency at the border as real, not fake, and not manufactured.
