David Brooks confused why immigration crisis isn’t easily solved

New York Times columnist David Brooks must have really pitied the political process when all on his own he came up with what is, according to him, “a practical response” to the crisis at the southern border.

It just so happens, however, that Brooks’ recommendations are either already in place or they’re points of dispute between the White House, which wants to end the hundreds of thousands of illegal border crossings, and Democrats, who simply want to accommodate them all. This is otherwise known as “American democracy.”
