The crisis at the southern border is far more complex than many liberal media commentators are making it out to be. On today's show, Glenn wanted to further clarify the fact that the mistreatment of illegal immigrant families and families seeking asylum at the border has been an ongoing problem. He and TheBlaze audience pointed out this crisis years ago and worked to help immigrant families. So why is the media just now latching on to this story? (You already know the answer.)

For the full explainer, watch Glenn lay out the timeline of how our immigration system became such a mess (with the help of the chalkboard) here.
