It’s getting harder and harder for Democrats to ignore the fact that there is an ongoing and growing crisis at the U.S. southern border. But they are still trying because they don’t want to concede that President Donald Trump is right, and that his demand for more border funding to build a wall in order to better secure the border is indeed needed.

There were more than 760,000 pending cases at the end of FY 2018 and an additional 330,000 cases that could be returned to active dockets in short order.”
