I realize a vast lie has been perpetrated, and the truth must be stated again and again: Illegal crossings were DOWN. This is a made-up crisis. No one is arguing for open borders - of course there should be border security - but seeking asylum is a statutory right.

We have, or at least did have until recently, a tradition of assimilation. Our country was built on and by immigrants who felt allegiance to the US.That's who the vast majority of our ancestors were. In a country without those traditions, the situation can indeed become troubling
