So much for "it's a manufactured crisis"..

[*bfine32*]

If one person crosses our border illegally without being vetted; then it's a crisis "a condition of instability or danger, as in social, economic, political, or international affairs, leading to a decisive change." I think the rub comes with what makes it a National emergency. Personally IDK; as I've never spent any time along the border with the intention of accessing the situation. Hopefully those that do are unbiased and not swayed by rhetoric of others that don't have a clue.
