"THESE 8 GRAPHICS EXPLAIN HOW BAD THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CRISIS REALLY IS" - Kelsey Bolar / @kelseybolar / June 30, 2019 / 146 Comments; https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/06/30/these-8-graphics-explain-how-bad-the-illegal-immigration-crisis-really-is
For months, Democrats denied the illegal immigration crisis at the southern border, with Sen. Chuck Schumer, flanked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, going so far as to accuse President Donald Trump of working to “manufacture a crisis, stoke fear and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration.”
The president, on the other hand, has made the situation on the southern border a top priority, in January declaring it both a “humanitarian and security crisis,” and stressing it ever since.
So how bad is it? The Daily Signal rounded up some of the most striking statistics to explain the current crisis.

PRAYER MATTERS:
"To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against
the disorder of the world. - Karl Barth
"Prayer is inviting God into a seemingly impossible situation and trusting/resting in His love and grace to accomplish His perfect will in His perfect time and for His greatest glory. Intercession is one of the great privileges AND responsibilities for EVERY believer."- Stan

According to these statistics, there is a dramatic increase in immigrants trying to come into the US and there are insufficient staff/resources to process them. There's also a statistic about 90% of heroin coming through the southern border, but this does not mean that increased immigration will result in more heroin.
ReplyDeleteSo yes, the crisis is there. The question is, what are we doing about it? The article claims that the president has been on this issue since January while his opposition claimed that the crisis was fake. Now that everyone knows that the crisis is real, what is Washington (Congress + president) doing about it?
