Joshua HollandEvery legacy media outlet routinely refers to the “migrant crisis” even tho refugees make up the bulk of entries and the numbers aren’t very different than they were under Trump pre-Covid. But he talked tough and made asylum-seekers’ lives Hell so I guess that made it something less than a crisis.
