As if political division in the United States wasn\u2019t horrendous enough, some mainstream media personalities are throwing fuel on the fire. On January 8, MSNBC\u2019s Joe Scarborough thought it would be a brilliant idea to label millions of Americans as \u201cstupid.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow stupid are Americans who still believe there\u2019s a crisis on the southern border?\u201d he asked<\/a> on his show \u201cMorning Joe.\u201d<\/p>\n The television host ranted that major networks should not broadcast President Trump\u2019s Oval Office address, and he accused the president of lying about illegal immigration statistics to manufacture a fake crisis.<\/p>\n However, regardless of Scarborough\u2019s claims, the facts prove that there is indeed a serious problem at the border and that greater border security, including a physical barrier, are necessary to protect this nation\u2019s sovereignty. Here are five reasons why it was \u201cstupid\u201d for him to claim there is no crisis at the southern border:<\/p>\n If these numbers combined with the caravans that have recently been arriving at the border don\u2019t constitute a crisis to Scarborough, it\u2019s hard to imagine what would. Hundreds of thousands of unvetted illegal aliens are storming the border every year, and the lack of proper border security only ensures that the problem will worsen. Before calling concerned Americans \u201cstupid,\u201d perhaps Joe Scarborough should look in the mirror.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As if political division in the United States wasn\u2019t horrendous enough, some mainstream media personalities are throwing fuel on the fire.
