Congressional Democrats, with the help of the national media and too many Republicans, have made it so that controlling a foreign country’s border is much easier to do than managing our own.

It would cost what amounts to pennies of our federal budget to erect more barriers on our own southern border. And it would literally cost nothing to change the asylum hole in our immigration laws that’s incentivizing the hordes of Central Americans to trek to the U.S. After all, they can lock in the legal right to stay by simply saying that magic word, despite having no meritorious asylum claim.
