Is there a Crisis at the Southern Border? Decide for Yourself. Is there a national crisis on the southern border?  A plurality of Americans believe there is.  First, 90% of the illicit drugs that enter the United States come in through the southern border.   Next, there have been numerous terrorists apprehended at the border, people who are from the Middle East and all over the world have come in via that border, indicating that terrorists have developed a strategy to feed themselves through that border precisely because they know it is porous. The Trump Administration has claimed that 3000 terrorists have been apprehended.  The AP reports that 253,000 firearms cross the border each year. Apparently 2000 illegal weapons cross the border EACH DAY. I guess Democrat only want to take guns away from law abiding NRA members... Next, numbers differ, but between 33% to 6 in 10 to 8 in 10 women and young girls are raped in the process. Numerous stories indicate that women and girls come prepared with contraceptives to deal with potential rape on the trip.  Next how many children arrive at the border without their parents, with coyotes that in many cases are little more than middleman human traffickers, shipping them for sale to American elites who can afford them. In June 2018 The White House official Twitter account claimed that 80% of the children arriving at the southern border come unaccompanied by a parent. Are we really to believe that these parents "just couldn't make the trip" or that they have been sold or abducted by and from their parents?  Last year, a mere 521,090 people attempted to enter the country illegally, a decline from 2014's 569,236. A crisis? You decide...
