𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗: The image of a father and child who drowned crossing our southern border is heartbreaking, and no person with any compassion can see it and not be incredibly moved.

This proves what we have known. There can be no debate that there is a humanitarian crisis at the border. People are taking incredible and inadvisable risks to cross into our country, often bringing children along on the perilous journey.

But let’s also remember several things. It was Democrats who, for months, denied there was a crisis at all. These same candidates for the Dem nomination were wall-to-wall on cable TV saying the obviously terrible situation wasn’t real.

When they were forced to admit how bad it actually was at the southern border, they shifted to calling it a “manufactured crisis.” This was another attempt to shift blame and shirk responsibility in Congress to do something about it.

Though the truth is undeniable, they still steadfastly refuse to work with President Trump on a solution. These are the same people who famously wouldn’t give “one dime” to fund a border wall or work with POTUS in any capacity. Instead they oppose and criticize at every step.

They dangle amnesty & open borders proposals, even advertising that government-run health care plans will provide taxpayer-funded health care for illegal immigrants. They actively encourage people to make the dangerous journey here and act shocked when the risks are deadly.
