The narrative increasingly circulating in this hyper-partisan election season is that the coronavirus outbreak is President Trump’s fault.  Sen. Bernie Sanders actually presided over an event yesterday in Michigan on the eve of today’s primary there to promote that meme.

A small fence separates densely populated Tijuana, Mexico, right, from the United States in the Border Patrol’s San Diego Sector. Construction is underway to extend a secondary fence over the top of this hill and eventually to the Pacific Ocean.

The narrative increasingly circulating in this hyper-partisan election season is that the coronavirus outbreak is President Trump’s fault.  Sen. Bernie Sanders actually presided over an event yesterday in Michigan on the eve of today’s primary there to promote that meme.

Interestingly, one of the most important actions Mr. Trump took to mitigate the pandemic’s spread here was the restriction on travel from countries in which the Wuhan Flu has been present.  Unfortunately, that order’s effectiveness has been undermined by our inability to secure the nation’s borders. Who bears principal responsibility for insisting over the past three years that particularly our southern border must remain porous?  The answer is, of course, congressional Democrats like Sen. Sanders.

Can anyone honestly say under present circumstances that they prefer gaping holes in our ability to monitor and control who enters our country over having “The Wall”?
