I'm not a fan of the wall,but it has to happen because of presidents like Obama who allowed large numbers of crossings. The next POTUS could do the same.

It's not at all clear how CBP or the Obama administration plans to handle the new surge of illegal crossers. CBP on Monday did not respond to a request for comment for this story.
But CBP's statement accompanying the latest figures say border officials are constrained by "limited enforcement resources," and said it wants to ensure that immigrants with "legitimate humanitarian claims are afforded the opportunity to seek protection" in the U.S.
In the meantime, however, those favoring tougher border enforcement worry that CBP's statistics are only telling part of the story. Thompson said he believes that CBP's apprehension data reflects just 60 percent or so of the people are actually crossing the border, and that the other 40 percent are getting away.
You really think a wall is going to stop illegals from entering this country? Almost 1/2 of all of them do not even come across the southern border.

Why would I mention a rock, that has nothing to do with the op point? The point is that the claim that exploiting tragedy for political advantage is tasteless and scornful is itself dishonest as proven by the hypocrisy of not criticizing Trump for doing exactly the same.
