Good Point by Rich Lowry on "Katrina moment" meme

From his National Review article:

The Katrina analogy is both over the top and too generous. It is over the top because the border influx isn’t a deadly catastrophe swallowing an American city. It is too generous because Bush didn’t do anything to bring on Hurricane Katrina, whereas Obama’s policies are responsible for the influx of immigrants from the border. It is, in the argot of his administration, a “man-caused disaster.”

I didn't like the analogy to begin with. Analogies can be dangerous. Yes, Bush may have not optics correct during an acute disaster, but Obama has done everything wrong on this crisis which he brought about himself.
