After reading
https://www.migrationpolicy.org/arti...-united-states and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emigration_from_Mexico (especially paragraph trend reversal).

Why is the Mexican immigration currently such a big issue in the US now? Is the crime rate higher now (have not checked that) ?

I see the high number of illegals as an issue for sure but I do not understand why it is now such a big deal in the last two years and not, let's say 10 years ago...

Wow thats odd, well no its not in fact I think its on par.

on one hand we have someone blaming the U.S. drug problem for an emmigration crisis.

On the other hand others are saying the trend is reversing and more Mexicans are staying home.

Lol

Because Trump says it is, and all chime in. You know someone must be the scapegoat, for all you do not like in life. And if it did not disturb you before Trump said it, you now have his opinion. It's magic!

It's a big deal because the left thinks they can bash Trump with it. A manufactured outrage like the homeless problem of a previous election it disappears from the public view (though not in reality) just as soon as the Democrats get back into power.
