"It pains me to say this but he [President Trump] is right that the United States faces a crisis with its asylum system," he said. "Since 2014, the flow of asylum seekers in to the United States has skyrocketed. Last year immigration courts received 162,00 asylum claims, a 240 percent increase since 2014.

But, but, but... I thought it was a 'manufactured crisis'... /s

a 240 percent increase since 2014.

Interesting. Back in 2012 or 2013 - I don't recall exactly which year but I know it was that time frame because of where I was working - I was flipping through some congressional reports. The cube next to mine used to be the dumping ground for the bound committee reports both for the bills and the final passed acts (both authorization and appropriation). I liked to look through them because you could find all kinds of weird and random new laws tucked among the defense items.

In one of them, I found an interesting new budget item...funds and direction to send delegations down to assorted Central American countries to explain to people about how the American social welfare system worked.

At the time, I thought that was very strange so it stayed with me. I'm kicking myself for not going to the copier and making a copy of that page because I would have no idea where to find it in the thousands upon thousands of pages that congress produces in their never ending quest to destroy the country and enslave us all in The Law.

It came to my mind again towards the end of Obama's administration when I heard him say in a speech that "anyone should be able to come into this country and vote."

This actually IS a manufactured crisis - and it was carefully manufactured years ago. It was all going to plan and then...Trump! That is part of the reason for the 24/7 shrieking and hate from the left since he took office.
