"As President Donald Trump's immigration policies have swelled detention-center populations on both sides of the U.S. southern border,"

Liberals seriously need a cleansing. Now the numbers are due to Trump's policies. So, what that basically means is things are so bad according to Liberals yet Trump's policies have given immigrants the opposite view and they are so great that the increase in immigrants has significantly increased. I mean, I get this author is just trying to proactively counter the truth, which is that Liberals have made the problem much worse because of their neglect of detention centers and providing aid to the border, but to start out an article with that statement is just irresponsible.

The reason for the swell, in case any Liberal wants to learn reality, is that too many people are coming to the border. And which party is the one who has been defending them and saying they should come? Wait, let me rephrase, which party AFTER OBAMA (since Obama is on record as saying people shouldn't come to the border and kids will be separated from parents, living conditions aren't great, etc.) is the one who has been defending them and saying they should come? Well...welcome to cause and effect. You wanted immigrants, you got them. Now start coming up with your own ways of countering that or give Trump what he wants. Sitting there with your thumbs up your butts just whining about everything that is bad does absolutely nothing. Argue that all you want but nothing will change the conclusion.
