What's with all the fake outrage over the immigrants?

This has been going on at the border for decades. While it's sad and shocking, it's really not "news," is it? So why is it making news now?

Well...
Trump's approval rating is highest it's ever been (according to "The Hill").
The economy is the best in decades.
Black unemployment is at an all-time low.
We could possibly see the denuclearization of North Korea.
The IG report shows anti-Trump texts among FBI agents.
The stock market remains high.
Satisfaction with the direction of the country reaches 12-year high (according to Gallup).

There are several things going Trump's way and some of it has never happened before. So how will Democrats run against that in November? Well, the media will need to create a news story where there is no news story. The left would have been better off waiting to make this a news story in September or October. Now they'll have to manufacture some other "news story" in the weeks before the election to create that fake outrage.

If liberals really cared about families at the border, why didn't the media do its job and report this while Obama was president? Then, Obama could have dealt with it, cleaned it up and been the hero! End of story. The answer, of course, is the media/left had to wait until it was politically convenient for them. Liberals (at least those in power) don't care about the families at the border and they will do nothing to help them so that they can use it as a political issue in November. So it's not just fake outrage here, it's also fake compassion.

And just like every other effort by the left to stop Trump, this too, will fail. Not that Trump is unstoppable. But the left's efficiency at stopping Trump is at 0% right now. I don't see why that would change any time soon. It could change by November, but probably not in June. In the mean time, Trump is like a wrecking ball to political correctness.
