It's incredibly frustrating to see so much time, energy, and resources going to what is essentially a manufactured crisis that Republicans refuse to actually fix through comprehensive immigration reform. All so they can cynically demagogue the issue and dehumanize others for short term political gain.

All the while they refuse to acknowledge that we are a country of immigrants built upon the strength of diversity. That immigrants are a vital part of our economy. And that immigrants commit crimes at rate fast less than citizens.

I live seven miles from the border as the crow flies. It’s been extremely quiet. What a colossal waste of resources for the sole purpose of political gain.
