Actually you are dead wrong. The U.S. border started tightening up about 18 years ago, before that we used to cross a lot and very seldom had to even show I.D. It had absolutely nothing to do with Trump!
18 years ago I didn't have that much issue crossing the border at all.
Fifteen years ago I didn't have that much issue either.
Obama, you could see signs but they were small so didn't really bother me.
Trump is president now. He decides how hard the border is going to be.
PLUS his verbal diarrhea emboldening white nationalism and domestic terrorists make it a scarier place to go.
As my aunt said - before you'd never even imagine being shot at a Wal Mart; now you could be. THAT is what's scary.
You may not see it that bad, but I do.
