Border Crossings On Pace For Two-Decade High

[Benton]

Two things.

First, apparently Trump's policies didn't work if it's two months after he's out and we're reaching all time highs.

Second, as Bells said, this is mostly a funding problem going back decades. We don't have enough people to process applications, or space in courts to deal with contested ones. Our system has been turned into a decades long wait list unless you've got money. And not money for taxpayers, money for businesses and attorneys specializing in getting you to the front of the line. It's like our approach to healthcare, mental health and a slew of other social issues. That was a lot of the fear around what DeVos was trying to do to education: got cash, get educated; don't? you won't.
