You can't deal with stupid people. Trying to talk sense to nonsense will always be a losing battle.
This 'crisis' on the southern border is exactly that. It's 100% a made up crisis of the right wing's creation. They started 'zero tolerance' enforcement without a plan -- of any kind -- for what to do about the consequences, and now it's blown up in their face.
Meanwhile the reality is that by far the easiest and cheapest solution is to just let the people in. Like the US already lets in something like 1.2 MILLION immigrants every year, which over a 10-year period is more than 10 MILLION people. In that context what the hell difference does a few thousand make?
But because the right wing is stupid, they'll spend billions of dollars on patrol and enforcement and for what, to stop people who want to come in and contribute to the economy, just like the other 300+ million immigrants who are already there.
Like now Paul Ryan is claiming that Medicare and Social Security are broke and that their funding needs to be cut, when in the meantime all the people who want to come in and help pay for them are being stopped at the border.
It's literally the dumbest policy on planet earth.
