The wall narrative

We've got to get back to the basics.
The media is already changing into "will Democrats compromise" which is utter bullshit.

The basics are that we are at a 20 year low for non-port entry across our southern border.

The border "crisis" or "emergency" is a fabricated lie.

IT'S A LIE!

Why can't we re-frame the issue by repeating this over and over again. Say we are for border security, but this particular (idiotic fucking wall) solution is ineffective and that money could be used for more practical solutions, as well as for other pressing issues facing this country right now.
