Clearly biased page written from someone with an axe to grind. No attempt at providing differing viewpoints. Spelling and grammar errors. Also this topic has been covered on several other Wiki pages - no need for a new page. WisDom-UK (talk) 19:19, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Best case scenario is to merge into a real article as it is a notable subject. ⌚️ (talk) 19:24, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
- Query - Which other "real article" should it be merged into? AfD is not cleanup, nominator’s objection seems more WP:POV based than anything, so the best case scenario is to improve the article first unless there’s some obvious existing article it should be merged with, that I’m missing.

- Keep Obviously notable topic. The article needs a lot of work, WP:SOFIXIT. This at least has reliable sources and is a far cry from WP:TNT. Yes, there is some overlap, but I don't think it should be merged with US-Mexico border or Trump administration family separation policy because some sources do argue that the southern border situation is a crisis,[1][2][3] with asylum applications up tenfold [4]. Oddly, most of the sources referring to a "crisis" are right wing media. Maybe could be renamed Late 2010s United States–Mexico border crisis to differentiate from other US Mexico border incidents. buidhe 05:52, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

- Comment. The topic in general is clearly notable on a long-term basis, the question is just whether or not there's already an article on it under another name. We do have very detailed articles on Immigration policy of Donald Trump and on Trump administration family separation policy specifically. These cover the US response to the crisis, which appears to be the focus of the disputed article. Information on the causes of migration and on the migrants is located in articles like Central American migrant caravans and 2014 American immigration crisis. It is possible that these articles need to be interwoven better. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 05:39, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to Immigration policy of Donald Trump, but keep history of the page. The content is mostly valid, but it should be merged to other pages as commented by others above. This does not seem to be a subject distinct and notable enough to keep, even as a political slogan. My very best wishes (talk) 20:05, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
