    It’s not an army of people storming the gates to take over the country it’s individuals or families trying to climb a wall or swim across a dangerous river and risking death to try and escape a bad situation or make a new life for themselves. Or in regards to legal immigrants struggling to be processed it’s an issue with a lack of resources allocated to them. Maybe some of them are criminals but contrary to popular belief most criminals that deal in border crossing either have a way of getting through the border “legally” or don’t have to cross the border themselves at all. And it’s the “criminals storming the gates” style of border crisis that these people in the convoy are imagining.
