Did you know that we are in a national emergency right now? Seriously. We really are. At least that's what our president, who's averaging almost two golf outings a week and hops around his luxury clubs about once every five days, is telling us. I suppose if I were to look out the window I might see hints of it. Brown skins invading Palm Coast's P Section. Oh no, wait, that's just my son mowing the lawn.
I can think of a few emergencies right now: the health care crisis still making insurance a costly gamble for millions, the opioid crisis taking the lives of 72,000 Americans in a single year, the gun epidemic that took the lives of nearly 1,200 children since the Parkland school massacre, the nation's paralysis on climate change, making slow-cooked frogs of us all.
Undocumented immigrants pouring over the border? Not exactly. Not when illegal crossings are at 40-year lows. Not when the problem, if there is a problem, is closer to a lack of immigrants to make up for the country's collapsing fertility rate. We depend on undocumented immigrants to till our soils, harvest our vegetables and fruit, care for our children, wait our tables and do all sorts of other menial work we're too good to do ourselves.
Before long we'll need them to keep our population from falling. The national security threat is their absence, not their presence. And their absence has been felt.
