Nonetheless, the nation’s left-leaning newspaper of record is conceding that not only is there a crisis at the southern border — as Trump has been hammering repeatedly and Democrats have been denying obstinately for months — it’s so severe that the Times is actually calling for Democrats to put aside “political gamesmanship” and do the one thing they’re most committed not to do: actually work with Trump to do something good for the country when it comes to illegal immigration.

“President Trump is right: There is a crisis at the southern border. Just not the one he rants about,” the Times editorial board writes in an editorial published Sunday.
