Crisis

Since the last major overhaul of the U.S. immigration system in 1986, the federal government has spent an estimated $263 billion on immigration enforcement. What has this spending bought? The United States currently has over 650 miles of fencing along the Southern border, record levels of staff for ICE and CBP, as well as a fleet of drones, among other resources. In a nationally televised address from the White House in 2016 President Obama warned about an "actual humanitarian crisis on the border" prompted by a surge of migrants from Central America, and urged Congress to take action on his immigration agenda. Instead of using all resources to solve this problem the discussion centers around the wall. The wall was first said to be too expensive and ineffective and now it is immoral. Now they argue over the word crisis. Does anyone have an answer to this problem?
