'Smug Self-Interest': The Atlantic Denounces Donald Trump's Low-Death, High-Wage Border Policy

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : Trump got elected because of his popular promise to stop illegal migration.
64% : In contrast to the safe delivery of legal migrants through airports, the government's undisguised welcome for illegal southern migration "is a deliberate [federal] policy with a predictable outcome" of death for many migrants, Vaughan said.
63% : In their view, "Illegal migration is a force of nature and that we should accept it
61% : The death of migrants is also built into the government's support and coordination with the illegal migration organized by coyotes and cartels, she added:
59% : The strategy includes the vigorous enforcement of laws that allow migration, the lax enforcement of laws that curb illegal migration, and the careful creation of non-laws that allow yet more migration.
41% : Obama's deputies then began releasing migrants with children as soon as they asked for asylum.
38% : Roughly two million migrants have since crossed the southern border and into Americans' blue-collar workplaces and communities -- not counting the thousands of migrants who died on the way North:
34% : Kelly "explained [in 2014] that the mass migration of children and families seeking asylum in the U.S. was not a threat to national security," the Atlantic said.
23% : The 2015 update with Obama's deputies required border agents to release children brought by illegal migrants in 20 days -- long before overworked judges had time to deport a migrant who claimed asylum.
