Are border agents really unanimously saying that there's a crisis?
You are aware that they're paid by taxpayers, right?
have you ever met a single person who collects a paycheck for the government who doesn't think that we need to be spending more money on the one thing that they do for a living?
Teacher said we need to spend more on schools. We generally ignore them.
Cops say we need to spend more money on investigation. And we generally ignore them.
Civil engineer say we need to spend more money on roads, and we generally ignore them,
Etc.
Why is this special?

You’re mixing state and federal responsibilities. And you can bet movement has been made however large or small in those specific careers. As far as immigration, It isn’t new or special as it was an issue in 2008 and a huge crisis in 2014. Enough kicking the can down the road as it only becomes more problematic and expensive. If we take the term “wall” out of the equation there still isn’t enough funding being included for HHS. Heck we give other countries more money annually than what is being requested.
