So what's the solution? And no, the answer is not "Build a very expensive wall that won't keep them out."

Before answering that question, we have to first answer this: Is this a problem?

Actually yes a wall does work, but its not the ONLY thing you need. You think its an accident they stopped coming when Trump was here? He made deals with Mexico and most of Central America, take your people back or we stop funding your country. Guess what...it worked. It's all about will, democrats have no will to stop it because its future voters, republicans have no interest because its cheap labor.

Where are you getting info that they stopped coming under Trump? Chart in this article suggests 2019 was the highest year for border crossings in over a decade.

But conservative media wasn't reporting on that, so it didn't happen.

I think the questions of "Families crossing the border" vs "Unaccompanied minors crossing the border" have potentially different answers.

Yes, what happened here that is confusing our conservative friend is that right wing media stopped reporting it as a problem

Thanks for posting a balanced article about the situation at the border. I believe in strong borders and high deportations focused on criminals (essentially the Obama and Biden approach). I have four main problems with the Trump approach:

1. Separating families at the border. This is one of the foulest things this country has ever done.
2. Putting kids in cages for longer than short-term temporary housing during surges at the border.
2. Immigration policing within our communities. I don't want "la migra" running wild disrupting our communities.
3. The Wall. It's a scar on our country and ineffective.
4. Questionable policies based on countries. Whether they are racist, religious, corrupt, or just give the appearance of (i.e. Trump banning immigration from Middle Eastern countries, but not the Middle Eastern countries he is friends with).

When there are border surges, things are going to get messy. We have to always strive to be humanitarian. When we fail, the media needs to report that, and our leaders need to correct that. Policies meant to be harsh as a deterrent are a non-starter for me.

Repair the existing wall.

Only in the RWNJ knob slobbering world of Trump's GQP is fixing holes in an existing wall the same as building a wall from the Pacific coast to the Gulf coast along the Southern border that Mexico will pay for.
