Alleviating our growing border crisis is impossible unless Congress changes our immigration laws.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, was right when he said Tuesday during a congressional hearing on border security that there is "Absolutely no justification whatsoever for Congress to sit on the sidelines and watch as this crisis continues to unfold." The emergency on the border is "Getting worse and worse as Congress sits on its hands and does absolutely nothing" to help.
In fiscal 2018, border agents apprehended nearly 106,000 "Family units," meaning families that made their way illegally onto U.S. soil and, more often than not, claimed asylum.
The crisis is caused by our nonsensical asylum laws, which are well intentioned but incapable of dealing with the sort of massive run on the border we're seeing today.
Most arrivals at our southern border are not Mexicans.
It is certainly true that most Democrats are at best muddled on the immigration question and at worst fully in favor of opening the southern border to anyone who wants to come into the country.
The party of the Left cannot deny that we have a crisis at the southern border.
