According to a Quinnipiac University Poll:
68 percent of respondents believe a "humanitarian crisis" is taking place, while only 26 percent say otherwise. Groups across the partisan spectrum reached a consensus on the question: 65 percent of Republicans and 69 percent of both Democrats and independents agreed on the issue.
It is clear that politics not prudence is driving the debate currently in Washington. President Trump's need to fulfill a campaign promise and the Democrats insistence on not letting him have it.
Hypothetical alternative proposal:
What if the $5 billion dollars of "wall" money was spent on additional border workers (both security and humanitarian) at a salary/benefit level of $50,000? That would pay for 10,000 additional support personnel for 10 years to work at the border.
