    Default no border crisis

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the situation "a fake crisis at the border."

    Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called it "a crisis that does not exist."

    House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said, "There is no crisis at the border."

    House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries said, "There is no crisis at the border."

    House Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Eliot Engel called the situation "a fake crisis at the border."

    House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler said, "There is no crisis at the border."

    Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, former chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, said, "We don't have a border crisis."

    Rep. Lloyd Doggett called the situation "a phony border crisis."

    Rep. Earl Blumenauer called it "a fake crisis at the border."

    Rep. Sanford Bishop called it "a crisis that does not exist."

    Reps. Jesus Garcia, Jose Serrano, Suzanne Bonamici, Donald Beyer, Pramila Jayapal, and Adriano Espaillat called it a "nonexistent border crisis."

    Former congressman and current California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said, "There is no border crisis."

    All are in public office and all have a say in determining policy. In the media, "Never Trump" Republicans, former Republicans, and other commentators have joined in.

    Former Rep. Joe Scarborough, now with MSNBC, called the situation "an imaginary border crisis."

    Former Bush White House official Nicolle Wallace, also with MSNBC, said "There's not a crisis."

    Former Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol called the situation "a fake crisis."

    GOP strategist Rick Wilson said, "There is no crisis on the border."

    Former conservative talk radio host Charlie Sykes said, "There is no crisis at the border."

    The Washington Post's Max Boot called the situation a "faux crisis."

    The Post's Jennifer Rubin said, "There is no crisis at the southern border."

    The Post's editorial board called it a "make-believe crisis."

    And finally, lest anyone ignore the late-night Resistance, comedian Jimmy Kimmel called the situation "a fake border crisis."

    Are 26 examples enough? There are plenty more, for those who care to look.

    Not difficult to cherrypick a five word or so phrase said in their lifetime and frame it to apply to whatever situation you want to depict them as erroneous.

    These aren't twenty-year-old quotes. Neither are they unspecific to a particular matter.

    Wrong, show us specifically in context where any of them said there didn't exist problems, serious problems, at the border. The crisis they don't see happening is the near monthly fear and anxiety crusade that Trump creates attempting to justify his "big, beautiful, tremendous, thirty foot high, concrete reinforced Wall.

    There aren't hundreds of M13 gangsters flooding across the border, thousands of disease inflected immigrants sneaking into the United States, nor ISIS terrorists masquerading as refugees

    And the biggest irony of it all is that Trump don't give a rat's ass about the border, the last thing he wants to see happen is anything addressing the situation. He wants it kept alive and on the front page so that he can use at his campaign theme just as he did in 2016, when is Mexico sending the check again?

    Wait a minute, the topic posts says the Democrats don't think there is a crisis, and now you are telling us the Democrats created the crisis?

    ridiculous. it was not about "anxiety" - such bullshit even from you.
    Trump wanted the wall and Pelosi would "Not give him a penny" . She dismissed it as a "manufactured crisis"

    are you going to sit there and say it was Trump's anxiety as the manufactured crisis -
    or was it a "manufactured border crisis" according to her and the quotes above?

    There aren't hundreds of M13 gangsters flooding across the border, thousands of disease inflected immigrants sneaking into the United States, nor ISIS terrorists masquerading as refugees
    you have no idea whom has crossed the border illegally - yes they have deported MS from central America.
    have you sen the communicable diseases outbreaks in the holding facilities? where did they come from?

    Now we are getting Chinese and Africans and even some Arabs - can you say for sure none of these are criminals or terrorists?
    What kind of country allows just anyone to cross and not take steps like building a border fence?
    Many countries have done just that because they recognize ( de facto) open borders allows anyone in
    with two legs to cross , but walls are the most effective way to stop foot traffic

    And the biggest irony of it all is that Trump don't give a rat's ass about the border, the last thing he wants to see happen is anything addressing the situation. He wants it kept alive and on the front page so that he can use at his campaign theme just as he did in 2016, when is Mexico sending the check again?
    denial and psychological projection on your part.
    He campaigned on it and TRIED TO BUILD THE WALL -do you recall the government shutdown?

    Trump was holding out for money for the wall -you know the one you say he didn't want

    Then you complain about conditions for the criminals at the border. There was always a crisis but the left decided to go for political theater (no crisis). And then the crisis expanded and those perspective voters started having problems and all because you bussed them up and refused to fund containment costs.
    Nancy will never be able to wash this blood off her hands.

    Let us know when they made those comments, because a RW rag like the Examiner won't mention it.

    I'll wait for your response.
