The “crisis” on the southern border isn’t a crisis, it’s a logistics problem, as demonstrated by the administration’s vacillation about reopening the child migrant shelter in Homestead, Fla.. Other that bleating “crisis,” Republicans have no ideas on how to handle the influx of unaccompanied minors, currently running about 500 people a day. They do hope […]
