For the last year, the mainstream media and the Democrats have been telling us that there is no emergency at the southern border. They repeatedly said that the number of illegal crossings was at a multi-year low. Trump was just making it all up. Indeed, every one of the lawsuits filed against the President declaration of a national emergency are based upon the argument that there is no real emergency. Well now that has all changed.
Yesterday, the New York Times admitted the obvious. There is a massive emergency at the southern border. The Times had no choice but to admit this since the statistic released by the border patrol are so ominous. Illegal crossings are at a very high level and rising rapidly. Apprehensions of families that have tried to cross the border illegally just during the first five months of this fiscal year are already higher than the total for all of last year, and last year set an all time record for most apprehensions. With numbers like those, there is just no sane way to argue that there is no emergency.
So what has the Times done? It can't give up its opposition to the border barrier/wall. Instead, it has flipped the narrative. Instead of "there is no emergency", the Times is now saying that "there is an emergency, but it's all Donald Trump's fault." I'm not kidding; the Times is actually pushing this line. The President has been fighting for years now to stop the flow of illegals across the border, and the Times, the Democrats and the media have all fought against this. Nevertheless, the Times is now blaming Trump for the crisis. It's insane.
