Democrats (and CNN) Help Trump Re-Election
[Headlines from DRJ]
The Hill – Dems make U-turn on calling border a ‘manufactured crisis’:
Democrats have done a U-turn on their claim from earlier this year that President Trump’s concern about illegal immigration at the southern border was a “manufactured crisis.”
Democrats now acknowledge there is a genuine humanitarian crisis and are preparing to pass legislation that would provide as much as $4.5 billion in federal aid to address the surge of migrants from Central America.
A surging number of arrests, media reports of smugglers renting children to desperate migrants to help them gain entry into the United States and stories of children dying in U.S. custody have changed the narrative.
This change has come during the rollout of Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign in Florida — coverage from which CNN reportedly “cut away when the crowd starting chanting, ‘CNN sucks’ and the president invoked the ‘fake news’ slur.”
Maybe Trump should report the Democrats’ immigration change and CNN’s consistency as in-kind contributions to his re-election campaign.

It was a manufactured crisis by Trump, until the apprehensions started rising last February.
Paul Montagu (841370) — 6/19/2019 @ 7:13 amAs someone who lives on the border, I think it has been a crisis for years but I have given up on politicians having the will to fix it. That is why I want a Wall.
DRJ (15874d) — 6/19/2019 @ 7:22 amDjr, how will a wall stop a surge in ppl seeking asylum? My understanding is that the bulk are coming to ports of entry to make the request? Is that not the case??
Time123 (d8955f) — 6/19/2019 @ 7:42 amIt is a manufactured crisis. When you have Dems pushing sanctuary cities, health care, drivers licenses, college opportunities, healthcare and even voting rights for illegals, the product is increased invasion.
Even the collapse of civil order in Venezuela, prompting a refugee tidal wave, was manufactured by the Left.
harkin (e5c973) — 6/19/2019 @ 7:49 amDonohue and his lackeys created this crisis.
mg (8cbc69) — 6/19/2019 @ 7:51 amIt’s not as if the Dems and NeverTrump haven’t proposed a ton of solutions:
1. Let everyone in.
Munroe (8e4fdb) — 6/19/2019 @ 8:18 am2. Let everyone in.
3. Let everyone in.
4. Let everyone in.
5. Let everyone in.
“how will a wall stop a surge in ppl seeking asylum? My understanding is that the bulk are coming to ports of entry to make the request? Is that not the case??”
well for one the statistics need to be represented more accurately:
1) only 1 in 10 “seeking asylum” are valid claims. The other 9 out of 10 false claims then do not wait for court hearings, they flee into the USA, and live as “illegal aliens”.
Where Eagles Dare (30c9de) — 6/19/2019 @ 8:21 am2) seeking asylum is not the only reason a wall is necessary. illegal drug and human trafficking are other reasons. As well as the flow of human and sex trafficking, the bulk of which does not happen at “ports of entry”.
All the Democrats have for their campaign theme is “concentration camps” and “children in cages.”
That’s not gonna work.
Patricia (3363ec) — 6/19/2019 @ 8:41 amI agree with Where Eagles Dare. In addition, the walls/fencing we’ve built has worked.
DRJ (3a8a8a) — 6/19/2019 @ 8:51 amMore, with photos.
DRJ (3a8a8a) — 6/19/2019 @ 8:54 amThat’s false, both for human traffickers and drug traffickers.
Paul Montagu (841370) — 6/19/2019 @ 8:55 amThe “1 in 10 ‘seeking asylum’ are valid claims” line is also false. In the last five years, 57% to 74% appeared at their immigration hearings.
In some remote Texas sectors there are not many LEOs or Border Patrol agents per square mile. Those areas need many approaches but especially barriers like walls.
DRJ (3a8a8a) — 6/19/2019 @ 8:56 amThey appear at their hearings because Obama changed the interpretation of asylum rules to make it easier to apply and stay.
DRJ (3a8a8a) — 6/19/2019 @ 8:58 amThe wall has worked quite well in Israel. Less terror, less illegal immigration, oh my!!
mg (8cbc69) — 6/19/2019 @ 9:06 amThey shift where they cross. They also catch most traffickers at the ports of entry but that doesn’t mean they aren’t crossing in more remote areas. We don’t know.
DRJ (3a8a8a) — 6/19/2019 @ 9:11 ami think this is happening in all the remote areas like Antelope Wells NM:
DRJ (3a8a8a) — 6/19/2019 @ 9:30 amOfficials call it baffling but it isn’t really:
This is where the little 7-year-old migrant girl who died came across. The Border Patrol did not have the medical resources to care for her there and she died after they got her to El Paso. She was cover for the cartels that smuggle/traffick, and that consider the migrants expendable.
DRJ (3a8a8a) — 6/19/2019 @ 9:36 amDHS propaganda, patched together in a rush, right after Trump’s public debacle with Pelosi-Schumer.
Paul Montagu (ed450b) — 6/19/2019 @ 9:36 amPropaganda is a problem with Trump as President.
DRJ (3a8a8a) — 6/19/2019 @ 9:47 amBut using remote areas for smuggling is not new.
DRJ (3a8a8a) — 6/19/2019 @ 9:50 amThere isn’t going to be a wall along the southern border. There never was, and there never will be. The whole idea is ludicrous in the extreme.
Gawain's Ghost (b25cd1) — 6/19/2019 @ 9:58 am12. yet it is being built. reality sucks.
Where Eagles Dare (30c9de) — 6/19/2019 @ 9:59 amIt’s only federal law since 2006:

Narciso (f8a289) — 6/19/2019 @ 10:01 amIs this like the bogus Iranian propaganda you fell for last week, and nathan Phillip’s bogus Covington tape
Narciso (f8a289) — 6/19/2019 @ 10:03 amThere may never be a Wall across the entire border but why, specifically, do you label it ludicrous, GG?
DRJ (3a8a8a) — 6/19/2019 @ 10:13 amYou target the most vulnerable spot, for security personnel.
Narciso (f8a289) — 6/19/2019 @ 10:17 amSeeing as kaibiles (guatemalan special forces ) are auxiliaries for the Zetas. It’s not surprising they would take this tack.
Narciso (f8a289) — 6/19/2019 @ 10:19 am“Maybe Trump should report the Democrats’ immigration change and CNN’s consistency as in-kind contributions to his re-election campaign.”
Or how about what I’ve been saying ever since “campaign finance reform” became a thing, Democrats should report the efforts of CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, Washington Post, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, LA Times, etc. etc. etc., nearly every local TV news station, most colleges and universities…I think I may have missed a few but that’s a start…as in-kind contributions to their election campaigns? Ever think of that? Eh?
PTw (8a02dd) — 6/19/2019 @ 10:36 am“The whole idea is ludicrous in the extreme.”
It was ludicrous and extreme when the Chinesers built one that was (still is) much, much longer several hundreds of years ago.
PTw (8a02dd) — 6/19/2019 @ 10:39 amBoth CNN and MSNBC returned to regularly scheduled evening programming; Fox carried the full rally as did CSPAN- though CSPAN experienced some audio problems and cut away to the Amway Center lobby for a minute or two until technical issues were cleared up. Attendance hit 20,000 w/overflow at the start. Doubt any of the 24 weenies would draw those numbers.
DCSCA (797bc0) — 6/19/2019 @ 2:12 pmPeople go to Trump rallies to enjoy themselves and have fun.
Those who show up to see JoeyBee are there for the free samples of Polgrip on their way to an EarlyBird special.
