ocasio-cortez and the rest of the morons say yes you are. everyone else understands that borders are what make the country. if you can t control who enters, you aree a failed state. just this morning dhs secretary kristen nielsen put it in perspective. she said that illegal arrivals of the mexican border are set to hit 1 million by the end of thit fiscal year.th more illegals will come in the first six months of 2019, this year, then came in all of 2017. if that s a crisis. it s also a humanitarian catastrophe.e. today s migrant flows have created a humanitarian catastrophe. in one study, more than 30% of women reported sexual assault along the way in 70% of all migrants reported experiencing violence. very unfortunately, because of the increase in violence, advice, when when we have families with children, we have to give every girl in a pregnancy over 10. this is not a safe journey. tucker: wait, what? it s not safe to walk through
because it s manufactured. is a manufactured crisis for the president to get a political win. we have a president who will go on tv tonight and lie and lie and lie some more. this is a manufactured crisis. tucker: altogether now! manufactured crisis. six syllables. learn them, dear robots, repeat them until they seem plausible, epmove on. they will never remember you live. and that s exactly what they did, that s what they always do but reality has an unpleasant habit of reinserting itself into these things. you canmi dismiss a crisis as manufactured but that doesn t mean the crisis doesn t exist. in the last month, 76,000 illegal aliens crossed the u.s.-mexico border, the highest number in more than a decade. that s more than the entire population of san francisco or boston or washington, d.c., every single year. coming by foot over just one of our international borders. that is a crisis, manufactured or not.
in april of 1912. in 1982, the new york times wrote a front-page feature about titanic survivors. 70 years later, people still remembered the story. can you remember what happened 70 days ago? how about 56 days ago? think back to that cobweb shrouded period in our history. it was january of 2019. if the federal government had just shut down. if the president said we needed a border wall. the democrats scoffed at him. they claim the entiregr immigration crisis was manufactured. the news media hardly weighed in on the debate. in case you can t remember who s side the media took, here s a clip from our archives. folks, the president has manufactured one heck of a political crisis for himself. donald trump s manufacturing and national security crisis. what you will have them say is this is a manufactured crisis, it s not a national security crisis. from nancy pelosi down to debbie wasserman schultz or anybody else who will give him a dime for this project.re

i think, and my memory is my age gets a little bit spider but i think you are one of those assuring uss this is not a crisis. looking at the numbers, which i don t think he would contest, because they are real, do you want to reassess that? is it not crisis? speak of the first time i came in your show last year i told her that the strategy the administration s strategy was not working. it s only making things work. i talked about the humanitarian crisis of the border, you laugh, you told me i was crazy, you told me i was lying and part of this liberal media conspiracy and here we are six months talking about a humanitarian catastrophe of the border. by doubling down on the failed of the past years, president trump would only making things work done my course. here we are six months after talking about a strategy that simple he hasn t worked. that s what s happening at the border. yrder. so. tucker: okay, i stand corrected. you said things were bad at the border, i said everything is
