THE DECONSTRUCTION OF INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE

As someone who spent a good portion of his professional career in Latin America, I draw a direct line from what is ocurring at our Southern Border to the devestation visited upon our State Department by the Trump Administration.  At no time, that I lived and worked iiin the area would any U.S. Administration, whether Democratic or Republican . have tried to handle  mass illegal immigration by force.  They had knowledge of where the buttons were that needed pushing to prevent it.  There never was anything quite like what we are seeing. today, at the border.
