U.S. Border situation

Are you asking strictly about the backlash that Trump has received or the actual problem itself?

It's really a lose-lose scenario at this point for a situation that shouldn't be this complicated (trying to go about the process legally shouldn't be a complicated matter, either, but for some it's an issue that's completely out of their hands.)

As far the backlash towards Trump? I feel like he's catching a lot of the heat over a policy he didn't put in to place. The prior administrations were doing the same exact things that he has been suggesting, but there was no outrage towards it in the slightest, so I feel people are being a bit hypocritical about it now when they stood in silence towards the same issue years ago.
