How could we be anywhere near a tipping point?  A few hundred migrants is less than what came in most past years.  We still aren't anywhere to close to how many illegals came in the late 90s, and we never had a crisis then.

That said, are we not engaged in a national debate right now?!?!?  We're taling about it right here - every newspaper is running articles on it - every talk show and news cast has commentators and stories on it.  Question period is discussing it.  Trudeau talked to Trump about it today.  Several CPC candidates are running on it.  

Is that not the very definition of a national conversation?
