Trace Gallagher, a political commentator, has published an article in the New York Times criticizing Democratic efforts to provide border policy advice to Republican lawmakers. The piece, which was initially mistaken for a satirical article from The Babylon Bee, uses the metaphor of Humpty Dumpty to illustrate the irreversible consequences of mishandling the border crisis. Gallagher argues that the Democratic approach to guiding Republican policies on immigration is misguided and could lead to further complications.
