Texas Democrats can’t admit there is a border crisis | Opinion
And, yes, a big part of Democrats’ struggle in Texas is their unwillingness or inability to accept that reality and to offer support for clear enforcement solutions.Look no further than the news last week that Border Patrol agentsin this fiscal year. The number of arrests? Some 1.8 million, with many of those being repeated apprehensions of the same people.
Some of that criticism is warranted. The bellicose rhetoric is unhelpful and lends itself to a false understanding of migrants, most of whom are fleeing violence and oppression. Beto O’Rourke has been twisting himself in knots trying to walk the line between saying something needs to be done at the border while not offending a base of voters for whom any enforcement is too much. O’Rourke can’t even seem to settle himself on whether the Trump-era Title 42 requirement that migrants be returned to Mexico should be revoked. He waffled on the matter with a suggestion it should remain in place, then clarified it should be revoked after a scolding from leftist activists.
