What crisis?

I'm having a really hard time finding information about the crisis in the southern border of The United States from this article or elsewhere in Wikipedia. This article seems to be about the declaration of national emergency, and political/legal problems & discussion around it, but not crisis itself if there is one.

You're right. It would be useful to have a page people can refer to for fact-based information about this "border crisis" - whether border crossings are up or down compared to previous decades, research on the likelihood of undocumented immigrants committing crimes, the alternate meanings of "border crisis" ("too many illegal crossings" vs. "children in cages") and so on. --MopTop (talk) 16:47, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So are the USA in a state of emergency now?

Have any actual emergency measures been taken? One could argue that Trump's whole presidency is a national emergency, but this one he declared almost instantly disappeared from media coverage after he had signed the veto. If an emergency has been declared, what actual emergency measures are happenening? That's missing in the article, it seems to me. --Johannes Rohr (talk) 14:17, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Should there be a new page section discussing the National Emergency at the Border (2025 - Present)

The majority of Trump Wikipedia pages agree that the emergency at the border is the reinstating of the previous national emergency at the border. Still, upon some research, it turns out it's an entirely new emergency. What do you guys think? Is it worth making a new page for the emergency? This entire article is mostly about the 2019-2021 emergency compared to the 2025 declaration. TheFloridaTyper (talk) 12:31, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
