Border crisis, what border crisis?
Staged theater by the Republicans to gain 2022 and 2024 political movement? Or, a mere controlled ‘challenge’ at the border where Harris is on it. No need to visit the border. The ‘root cause’ is in Guatemala and Mexico.
Republican lawmakers are staging Trump-style stunts at the US-Mexico border to push 'crisis' agenda

• The GOP has spent months manufacturing a "Biden border crisis" narrative.
• GOP reps and local officials have taken multiple trips to the southern border with props.
• For the GOP, the border is a space for political theater to boost 2022 midterm election chances.
Continuing former President Donald Trump's raucous tone and hardline narrative on immigration, GOP lawmakers at the state and federal level are leaning into his signature tactic of centering on fear of the southern border.
The recent outrage optics revolve around repeatedly referring to immigration at the southern border as a "crisis," or "surge" - which immigration experts told Insider was a largely untrue characterization of the typically higher number of border crossings in the spring and summer, along with the added numbers of immigrants unable to cross due to pandemic border closures in 2020.
Damn racist, xenophobic Republicans! Now they want to privately fund building a wall to control legal immigration entry levels - keeping illegals, drugs, gang members, terrorists out. Crazy, right?
