Democrats acknowledge crisis at border, insist solutions lie elsewhere

Democrats are increasingly ready to acknowledge a problem at the southwestern border — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last week dubbed it “a humanitarian crisis” — but their solutions lie almost everywhere but the border itself.

Sen. Bernard Sanders said he would be willing to talk about more detention facilities to hold illegal immigrants but that the real solution is deploying more judges to hear their cases.

Fellow presidential hopeful Rep. Tim Ryan says the answer to the surge of illegal immigrants is to legalize the ones already in the U.S.

Mrs. Pelosi says she, too, is ready to talk legalization but insists Democrats already have solved the immediate crisis at the border by earmarking tens of millions of dollars in the 2019 spending bill to upgrade technology and make asylum seekers feel more welcome.

Solution, spread them to sanctuary cities for now. Call their bluff.

Trump has already said that the entire border doesn't need a massive wall, that other barriers and electronic monitors can suffice in many areas. DHS and border agents agree. The Democrats' whining doesn't make sense, except to make hay out of straw for their own publicity.

Yeah, Nancy can serve coffee and donuts at the new $300,000,000 Nancy Pelosi Immigrant Welcome Center.

This is such a simple solution. Take all food stamps, section 8 housing, welfare and any free medical away from everybody. That's right including citizens. Illegals will all leave and go home. Charities will pick up the citizens. I know, not one word about race or religion but this will be deemed as racist. If keeping the dollars in my pocket and not giving my money to lifetime generational entitlements makes me racist then I will ware the term with pride

If citizens knew how much tax dollars goes to taking care of illegals they would change their voting habits.
