14. Ah, the border...

... the perennial dead horse that Republicans just can't stop beating.

But there's an awful lot that could be said regarding just how it managed to get this bad. I mean, yeah, there's always been a problem because of the gross economic inequities between the U.S. and Mexico, but it didn't go supernova until that shithead, Reagan, started funding, training, and equipping death squads in Central America with the money from illegal arms sales to Iran. And that backroom deal was brokered while Ronzo was still a civilian, in order to keep the hostages from being released before the 1980 election, thus squashing Carter's chances of a second term. PSSST! THAT kinda shit is a felony! But he's Jellybean Reagan, and we're not, so nothing was said or done. Nixon pulled the same scam in '68 with the North Vietnamese in the Paris peace talks. It's what Republicans do.

Anyway, all those failed states that refused to bend the knee to U.S. corporate interests, and are now being run by savage gangs, are where all the desperate people massing on the southern border are coming from. Funny how Republicans, and the "Librul" media they have on a short leash, never mention those juicy little tidbits.
