Well we need to figure out what to do with those now here. Especially those with AMerican families and spouces. So I see his point
There have been more murders done by criminals who overstay their visas and or those who just invade our country than occurred during 911.
Because they occur by ones or fives or so, they seem to have less impact than 911 but these Americans are just as dead and their families are just as torn up.
Anybody who aids or abets these criminals are guilty of these murders also.
I would defer that issue to the President as he is head of the Executive branch that enforces border security and immigration law.
His ideas are sound. I've been thinking for a long time that there is a possible compromise between the House and Senate bills. Most of the House bill supporters realize that we're going to have to work with the ones here, and we expect to do so, but it must be AFTER not before the spigot is shut off.
The Senate would require us to swallow the existing ones as the price of getting a wall. They would probably rather skip the wall later, but if we can enforce THEM to enforce the law NOW, there might be room to work.
Trouble is, I don't know how this government can be forced to do what it doesn't want to do. I'm reminded of when Congress allocated funding for 2000 more border agents, and the Admin said they would just not spend it, and hired like 200.
