The New York Times editorial board published an editorial Sunday calling on Congress to "give [President Donald] Trump his border money."

 

While they may not be on board with the idea of a border wall, they did admit that the current border facilities were in danger of being overwhelmed by the massive influx of people illegally crossing into the United States.

Wait...what did they say?

The editors acknowledged that a border crisis exists, but they don't view it in the same way Trump does.

"President Trump is right: There is a crisis at the southern border. Just not the one he rants about," the editors said at the start of the piece, immediately setting the tone.

While the sheer number of people surging toward the border is undeniable, Trump has said that he views their entry to the U.S. as an "invasion" while the Times sees them as refugees in need of assistance.

The editors noted that the number of arrests by Border Patrol agents are rising, while at the same time the number of resources, including beds in detention facilities, has failed to keep up with demand.

It's a crisis any way you slice it...
