Donald Trump ran and won on one goal more than any other: “build the wall” and control illegal immigration, because a nation that cannot control it’s borders and determine who it lets in is no nation at all. But he has not accomplished that goal. If he wants to win in 2020, he needs to do a bit better than simply relying on Democrats to run crazed idiots… and stories like this are not helping:

‘We’ve never seen anything like this’: As Trump threatens to close border, migrants overwhelm Texas cities

Hundreds of “migrants” are invading individual border cities each day, swamping the ability of local resources to deal with them. While it is of course entirely true that a perfectly impenetrable wall on the southern border would not stop the invasion of illegal immigrants – a great many of whom enter legally and simply overstay their visas – the ability to control the southern border is vital not only to the locals but also the the perception that the United States has no border controls.  Just as with other forms of criminality, weakness invites attack.

Border Patrol officials were on pace in March for more than 100,000 apprehensions and encounters with migrants – the highest monthly tally in over a decade, he said. Around 90 percent of those – or 90,000 – crossed the border between legal ports of entry.
