[Right Scoop] I had to double take at this headline.The New York Times has endorsed giving Trump the $4.5B he requested in funds for the border. Not just a single writer either, it’s the whole editorial board.
The New York Times editorial board urged Congress to give President Trump the administration’s requested $4.5 billion in emergency funding for the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.
"President Trump is right: There is a crisis at the southern border," the editorial board wrote Sunday in a piece titled, "Congress, Give Trump his Border Money."Crisis is the santizied word liberals like to use about the border because they are loathe to say "emergency" and possibly give Trump any credit. We all know what it is though. Over 100,000 people crossed illegally last month. The CPB don’t have the manpower or resources to handle the situation. Our asylum laws are being abused at a ridiculous level and Congress refuses to act.
If what’s going on at the border isn’t an emergency, then the word has lost all meaning.
