“…That it has been miraculously discovered — despite having been going on for decades — that children are being temporarily incarcerated on the border is a perfect example of that.

People will throw up their hands in horror and some children will likely get to stay longer with their parents — a good thing, obviously — but the larger reality will not change one iota.
The Democrats, in particular, do not want it to. In that sense they resemble the Palestinians, proclaiming they want a two-state solution even when it’s evident from their behavior the opposite is true…”
