Lisa: In his prime-time address on Tuesday, the president said the southern border was at a crisis point. Linda: Mr. Trump said the word “crisis” six times in that nine-minute address! But there’s not really a good case for a border crisis. But compare that to 2000, when the monthly number was between 70,000 and 220,000. It’s also interesting to me that Mr. Trump has sort of stopped trying to use data to support his arguments.
