What is happening at the southern border is a true and actual crisis. News accounts justly use words like chaos, collapse and breakdown. They feature images of children—toddlers, 4- and 5-year-olds—being shuffled to warehouse holding centers, sleeping crowded at night on what look like pallets, covered only in Mylar blankets. I never thought wed have refugee camps in America, said Texas Sen. John Cornyn, but thats what its appearing. All this gives normal people a feeling of besiegement and foreboding. Is a nation without borders a nation? Washingtons leaders seem to recognize whats happening as a political problem, not a real problem. That is, they betray no honest alarm. They just sort of stand in clusters and say things. There seem only two groups that view the situation with appropriate alarm.
